Our "Hello" gifts

Since we towed a U-Haul trailer down to Mississippi, we had enough room to take along some items that we use as Hello or Welcome gifts when we meet someone. These have proven to be very useful, and are appreciated by those we meet. I should say that these kind people usually respond with a gift of their own, and so far we have received fresh pecans, toasted/salted pecans, fresh eggs, turnips, and frozen blueberries.
Shown here is an 8oz bottle of hand sanitizer. I scored a 5 gallon bucket of hand sanitizer (thanks Alayne) before we left, and I thought it would be a good idea to bring it with us. I went online and bought 100 clear bottles with pumps and had them delivered to our apartment. Next I had a Book of Mormon scripture (Alma 5:19) referencing "clean hands" laser printed on acetate (thanks Jann Park for the technical details), and then rolled them up and stuffed them inside, and pumped the bottles full of sanitizer. These have been a hit, and are appreciated by those who receive them.
I also brought along several cases of baking cups left over from our cup denester machine tests. The "tulip" cups and the printed cups have also been well received. I gave a tube of printed cups to the lady that runs our favorite Mennonite cafe, and have received generous servings of pecan pie (Mmmmm good) in exchange, so that has been an excellent trade.
Also, we brought one of our few remaining cases of baking parchment sheets. They are new to most of the ladies we give them to (lots of butter and shortening used here), but they are also a hit, and we have already had requests for more from those who have run out, or who have heard about them. We usually roll a dozen sheets inside a page printed with our picture, email, and phone numbers and leave these with a note tied to doorknobs when no one is home.
Finally, we have a supply of our Dawn Designs perpetual birthday calendars (that we made in 1979 and still have left).
It's been fun to have these things with us, and always breaks the ice and gets a friendly conversation going.
