Just finished reading page 1 so don't know if this has been mentioned or not. The cones could be Xhristmas trees. put glue on the cone slap coton balls on, little sparkles or beads and you'e a nice little Christmas deco. Can lightly spray paint green for real tree effect but think white would show up decoraions better. Can be given as little gifts.
