Dean'sSweets Annual Gift-Giving Guide 

If you want a gift for . . . Our extensive research says try the following:  
 
A teacher doing 2x the work in 2020. . .
Maine sea salt caramel sauce - and a spoon. You'll get an A+!
 
A home-office secret Santa . . .
Festive peppermint bark or a spicy truffle assortment - depending on how cool or hot the recipient is. 
 
A host/hostess gift for a Zoom holiday party . . .
Champagne truffles - let others bring the wine; your gift will be the one they quietly (and happily) stash away till later. 
 
The mail carrier who is STILL delivering mail this year. . .
Espresso buttercream - They will fly through their route in record time.
