What a clever way to say thank you to a teacher, friend or co-worker.  Include a basket or gift bag full of “orange” items.Some orange things you can include are:
orange jello
orange gum
orange breath mints
orange Kool-aid
orange soda such  as Shasta orange or Sunkist
Reese’s Pieces
non-food items such as orange colored pencils, markers, lip gloss, post it notes, straws or nail  polish.

Put items in a cute gift bag or box (preferably orange).

Copy the orange at the top of this article, cut out and attach with bright orange ribbon to your gift.  Don’t forget to right your own personal message.

Use the “orange” theme to say thank you to special people at your reunion or “orange you glad it’s your birthday” for someone who celebrates their birthday during your reunion.

You can also create a “box of sunshine” for someone by replacing orange items with yellow things- yellow Jell-O, lemonheads and lemonade mix etc.

Or put  together a green  basket filled with green Mike  and Ikes, peace tea, wintergreen life savers, green  pear, green apples and fruit gum.  It’s perfect for St Patrick’s Day or use as a thank you at your family reunion- “We’re LUCKY to have you in our family.”
