You could go "regional"- Tropical (Miami)
Shiver (the North)
Cowboys (West)
New York (East)
Pick a "color" and buy some "fun" clothing
Red- socks (winter hats, etc)
Go with the 5 senses- Hearing (CDs)
Taste (Chocolate)
Touch (something soft-like fuzzy socks)
Smell (popcorn)
Just a few examples.
Have a wonderful holiday!

Since this is a food related party, why not have everyone bring something for a food pantry? Maybe as part of the festivities you could put together a food basket that you would present to a group that you know distribute baskets. As party gifts for your guests to take home - how about a scrapbooking activity where everyone puts together their own recipe book of recipes from the event. You could provide the empty books or binders and ask everyone to bring specific items for all to use to create their own personal book. Maybe someone could take digital photos which everyone could get later to add to their book. What about bringing in a chef from a local retaurant or cooking school to teach your group a specific technique - such as making spring rolls, or fancy appetizers. Or maybe someone in your group would be good at doing something like that. Have graham crackers and various things that could be used with royal icing to create a gingerbread village. We did this one year at our house all afternoon Christmas Eve and was able to save the village - made on a sheets of heavy cardboard covered wtih foil, for years. (we packed it away in airtight plastic box.) I provided pretzel sticks, gum drops, wafer candies, licorice, little gingerbread people from a box, jelly beans, various other candies,etc. Everything used had to be edible. People just worked on parts of the village as the mood struck them and them went on to something else. Some came back several times. We had a ball and the end results were wonderful! Hope this gave you a few ideas and maybe sparked some of your own. Have a great party - wish I could be there!

Tropical
South of the boarder
Lost in Heaven
Your childhood memories
Put words on small bits of paper (like, tip, over, the, time, end, start, etc.) put a lot of them in a bowl and pick 7 of them and make a theme out of them.
Or. Take a world or American map and throw a dart on it and select the state you will use as a theme.
Crazy thoughts but just trying to help.

how about serenity...this encompasses like a cd of nice music, aromatherapy candles, bath salts, fuzzy slippers, tea, etc. All items are calming, soothing, and great for a hard-working woman. I know I need it!
