While I do not think that such a token such become expected, I
think it is often a nice thing to do. And sometimes it doesn't
even have to be a physical item. There topic of gifts for cooking
crews came up a while back on the SCA-Cooks list. One of the
suggestions that got a lot of applause was that one lady often
arranges for someone to come through her kitchen and give the
hardworking workings a massage.

Anyway, here are two files in the Florilegium that might be
useful for some useful, often inexpensive ideas for largess.

Hmmm. I can't find the new file with the comments on thank you gifts
for the event staff. I'll see about getting it online if it is not
there.
