Hi, Micky (et al)
My standard Christmas ploy is to buy inexpensive candy jars (clear, with
lids, as big as you wish to fill) and then fill it with the holiday colored
Hershey's Kisses, tie an iridescent white bow around the top, and attach a
card with the following on it in a pretty script:
BREASTFED IS BEST-FED, THE CHRISTMAS VERSION
? The gold covered kisses remind us breastfeeding is the gold standard,
against which any alternative feeding product must be compared.
? The silver covered kisses remind us of the money to be saved on the cost
of formula and medical bills.
? The green covered kisses remind us that breastfeeding is "green"--it is
environmentally friendly.
? The red covered kisses remind us of breastfeeding's bond of love between
mother and baby.
? The bow is white for purity, and iridescent for the rainbow of flavors
present in the living breast milk.
? And it is all in a reusable container, but unlike the breast, you'll have
to refill it!
Enjoy, and Merry Christmas!

I've also done a similar version for World Breastfeeding Week, although I
can't always get the same colors and just adapt the message for what I can
get.
Hope that helps! Nice to see you at the conference the other day, btw!
