Kind of a weird question, but I'm trying to think of mini foods that I can bring in for a coworker's birthday next week. The running joke is that she's kind of tiny and has said on more than one occasion that she likes "small food." Of course minicupcakes and mini M&Ms, but I can't think of anything else. It would probably be store bought instead of homemade. Oh, we were talking about ordering BBQ for lunch and getting her sliders since they are kind of mini sandwiches. Any other ideas? TIA!

DH makes little smokies in a crock pot with barbeque sauce that would go well with BBQ sliders.
How about petite fours to go with the mini cupcakes?
-
@Chuckles: you can use toothpicks to make mini fruit skewers.
Another option are mini bagels that come in bags at the supermarket -
Mini quiches, mini peanut butter cups, bite sized pitas with hummus.
-
With BBQ, how about a jar of gherkins or other mini pickles?
Mini sandwiches of any kind are super easy to make with cookie cutters (cut bread, cheese. meat whatever shape).
Talking stuff at the store: look in the kid's food aisle. There are a lot of tiny crackers and cookies available. I think chips ahoy makes mini cc cookies (not that chips ahoy are good, but they are small!)
It would also be very easy to make your own tiny cookies. Just make little scoops of dough onto the cookie sheet vs a normal sized ball/scoop of dough.
Fruit cut into tiny pieces

Thanks, everyone! Love these ideas. And I can't believe I didn't think of mini Reese's and mini pitas. Ooh, how about mini Milanos?
-
Mini hotdogs! Aka pigs in a blanket. Baby carrots. 2-bite brownies.
-
Pizza bagel bites!
-
There are mini Goldfish - I think they call them Baby Goldfish but same idea.
-
Trader joes has mini pizzas! And there's mini brownie bites, mini donuts, mini ice cream cones or cups.
-
I have a mini donut pan that makes the cutest little donuts!
Mini pita is a great idea, with dip and things. You can get tiny little plastic shot glasses to serve drinks in instead of regular cups (cute but impractical). TWo bite brownies, mini scones from Starbucks, Bagel Bites/mini pizza! -
This is such a great idea! I want to do this for my friend's shower. She is a mini.

Thanks again, everyone! I did baby carrots, mini pitas, and cherry tomatoes with hummus. And then for actual lunch, we're just going to order pizza, but I'm going to order the birthday person a personal pizza, so hopefully that counts
And then I got mini Reese's, mini Oreos, mini Starburst, and mini cupcakes for dessert. Nothing too fancy or exciting, but I think it will be good for the office.
