Gifts for cabin crew

[Flyfrequently]

Once upon a time, the dinner-party hostess would feel obligated to produce the after-dinner chocolate mints

After the dinner party guest had brought a "hostess" gift @DC3 !

And coffee crystals of course!

If this was the 70’s … were the crystals coffee?

No coffee crystals are/were just demerara sugar and still available. Much better than the white sugar if you take sugar in your coffee. And only bad coffee needs sugar.

When we would go to the club with my grandparents as young kids, my cousins and I would take coffee crystals from the tea/coffee station and eat them like lollies.

Was there also a bowl for keys when those “coffee” crystals were being inhaled?

Nah. I seen them nonnas there at Mediterranean Wholesalers in Brunswick heaping sugars into their caffes till the spoon can stand up. They wouldn't be drinking there if the coffee was bad. [We waayyyy OT now]

Depends what the “gift” for cabin crew is!

Yeah the club would be more than a mile high with a pile that size … is the crew involved … or is their gift the task of …. cleaning up?!

Obviously I’m talking solely about a good coffee. @DejaBrew I know that as a coffee aficionado you’re totally onboard!
Spilt coffee, it stains, cleaning that is annoying.

This topic seems to have become very OTT now, if not completely off the rails.

An AFF tradition perhaps. However, we can still push mint chocs onto the cabin crew. Maybe not the coffee crystals.

A handful of coffee crystals maybe?
While disembarking, “because I appreciate the service so much, here have a token of my appreciation!” (dumps handful of brown sugar into flight crew’s hand)

Now that is someone seeking a free onboard upgrade to F!!

I am interested in the choice of Ferrero Rocher (which is common on this thread). I am a non-gifter but wouldn’t Lindt be more like it?!
Just curious

I read a FA comment once on what sort of little gifties they liked to get. Ferrero Rocher were hits because:
1: They were a known quantity rather than some local delicacy
2: The package would be presented sealed and each individual sweet was individually wrapped.
3: There was enough for everyone, and
4: They weren't overly solid or calorific – "I just inhaled those things!"
