For the last couple of years I have made different pre-packaged type of items for my co-workers. One year I made a jar of home made hot chocolate with a side baggie of mini-marshmellows. The next year I made a recipe using different types of rice, so all they had to do was boil it. If you go to Michael's or other crafty stores they have little books on making these "jar gifts". I found they are generally appreciated by people.
