Hi, all

I'm making up a gift package to take to the doctor in town who has been the
most supportive of bf and thought y'all might like a "peek" at it:

I bought a 2 quart plastic storage container with a flip-top lid on. Inside,
I lined it with green tissue paper and filled it with 2 bags of Hershey's
Kisses--one bag has the regular kisses, wrapped in silver, green, and red
foil, and the other bag has the almond kisses, wrapped in gold foil. On the
outside, I have an iridescent white bow and a card that says:

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!

The inside of the card has "Complements of" me and my address and phone number.

Total cost, about $8.50(US). Oh, and I did a quality control assessment to
make sure that the chocolate was ok. I had to check a few times, just to
make sure, but it seems to have passed the test. (I may have to go buy
another bag of chocolate....)

;-D

Happy Holidays to those who celebrate this time of year, and All-Purpose
Good Thoughts to those who don't!
