Teves, is usually the dead of cold winter. why not put something like a snowman...

Or maybe those little chocolate umbrellas and for Kislev you could put int something connected to Noach's teiva like animal crackers or a plastic boat filled with a dip.

I like the idea of leavinga section blank but I would do that for Av instead. It seems more logical.

I think since you are send ing so many different items you can give a really small amount of each one. Think of it like a tray of hors d'oeuvres or bon bons. Each one is a small bundle of goodness and one can choose the one he likes from a large variety. That is part of the fun. With that in mind I think you can put each item in a small cup or container and place them in order inside a cardboard tube pan. I think the cardboard onces are nicer than the foil ones, but they are still reasonable enough so that you don't pay more for the containers than you do for the food. For the cups I would use foil cupcake lines like the ones that Reynolds makes that stand by themselves. This way things like the cheesecakes (if you make them) can be made right into their containers. The middle, or hole, could be covered with a cute ganz yar frielach card and the outside decorated so that your recipients can see what each month is supposed to be.
