i was thinking in lieu of a tip on arrival...of what the heck to bring for the lovely people at the front desk who were so good to us in sept .....
we arrive next friday..
what can we bring as a thank you/xmas gift from new york to people who live in paradise!?
any ideas?
also the guys who take care of security and the beach were terrific.....
Hello Ginger,
I would say a nice medium or large gift basket for the front desk (candies, cookies, different treats...) to share, depends on the number of people that are sharing though. To avoid co-workers fussing over what they want from the basket perhaps small baskets for individuals would be better.
For the guys perhaps a baseball cap or t-shirt if you can quess on sizes.

Ginger,
Being a New Yorker I would suggest:
Yankee/Met Hats or T shirts.
Tshirts with our famous Statue of Liberty, I love NY shirts etc.
You can buy very resonable on the streets.
Cookies, candy (fruit cake only kidding)
Look around and you will come up with a million ideas.
Good Luck
Grace
islander...THANK YOU!
great idea...little gift baskets for the ladies and caps or tees for the guys ....that will be fun....
and grace yes thank you the statue of liberty ones are all over and the i love new york ones i saw a stand on columbus avenue today selling them....
and maybe mom and i will do some baking!
to all of you who have not been to SH you will realize how much we all love it only when you are there.....
the stress level here for the holidays is heating up i am counting the days!
12 DAYS TO GO!
Hi,
Check out the Bath and Body Shop. Lovely shower gels, creams etc. with variety of sizes,scents and prices. I think would be much appreciated. Daffys has a decent selection of small items for men. Nail clippers, keychains-check it out. Baskets with chocolates might melt. If you do that go hard candies. Unusual teas & biscuits could work nicely.
ingrid...excellent ideas! i love the teas idea tooo.....also light to carry.....
