Chocolate Dipped Spoons:  These are great for hot chocolate or coffee.  You can use multi-colored spoons and wrap a few in cellophane paper and a ribbon.

There are all sorts of little food and other items you can purchase.  Then simply print a tag with a cute little saying on it and you are done.  Here are some great ideas:
