I like the paperweight idea. Blank paperweights are available for purchase. A picture of the church with dates can be run off the computer on photography paper and inserted in the bottom. (an inexpensive way to go)
They can be packaged in cupcake boxes.
Check craft stores.

I'd go with the bookmark idea. People who are retired and possibly thinking about down sizing, don't need extra "stuff" to sit around. They would feel guilty about tossing the paperweight when it was time to move.

I love them, but it seems a shame that we only display it at Christmas. Our church has very few members that are under the age of 40 & most of them are retired. I should have first asked if we have a budget before asking all of you this question....sorry. I would like to give members something that will last (not perishable or ink pens that will run out of ink or a calendar that will be obsolete at the end of the year, etc). I saw some nice glass paper weights online, & I thought we could give one to each family, but I'm open to suggestions. Have any of you been in a similar situation with your church? How did you celebrate & did you give a momento to your members?

I like the bookmark or mug rug ideas. When I was reading your message b4 seeing the replies I thought of bookmark cuz someone posted a photo of a quilted feather bookmark and that came to mind, then saw all the replies.
let us know what you decide to do and share pix with us
