I am putting together holiday "buckets" for my husband's coworkers and need some ideas.?

This year we are going with a candy cane/peppermint theme. I am painting galvanized buckets red and white stripped. Inside I am putting chocolate covered pretzel rods with red sprinkles on them. I am also making candy cane shaped chocolates. I am obviously going to put a candy cane in the bucket too. Does anyone have any other creative/fun suggestions? Last year I went w a snowman theme and did hot chocolate and gloves in the bucket along w the candies. I am stumped this year!
