We have traditionally done our volunteer appreciation gift at Christmas. This year our budget is very tight, so we had to be creative. Tomorrow our team is meeting to make cocoa cones for our volunteers. The cost is a very budget friendly forty cents per gift! These cute little concoctions sell for five or six dollars at gift shops. Our volunteers have responded very positively in the past to our gifts, but they especially seem to appreciate the homemade gifts! I look forward to a fun evening with my co-workers assembling these little cuties.
The cone bags were purchased in bulk at a local cake and candy supply store. Each bag gets 1/2 cup of cocoa mix, 1/4 cup of marshmallows, and 1/4 cup of chocolate chips. We'll tie the bags with raffia and attach a card with a greeting and instructions for "cocoa for 2."

I just wanted to thank you for this idea. I found the same things at Wal-Mart for like 3 bucks or so. My family actually did these as part of our family worship time and prayed over each bag and for each teacher who was going to be receiving that bag.
Thanks, again.
I love this idea! Thanks so much for sharing it with me!
