(That's a real downer-you want to be nice and all you wind up doing is making the person miserable-NOT nice!)<br /><br />Edible Arrangements works. Most tasty.<br /><br />If you just have to do candy-make it small and high-end. Go for the REALLY good stuff. No Dunkin Donuts. <br /><br />Then put that person up for special recognition at some point later in the year when they least expect it.

One place I worked at would routinely give out a candy bar with a balloon tied to it.
