Hot Chocolate in a Mug Gift Set
It's that time of year again when the kids are just about ready to break up for the xmas holidays and my little girl wants to give a Christmas card to almost everyone, even though we are Muslim and don't really celebrate Christmas I still enjoy this time of year and the atmosphere.
Probably just like a lot of other people out there I am on a tight budget but wanted to give my daughter's teacher a gift she would really enjoy but had a personal touch to it...
After searching online for ages to find the perfect gift I came across pictures of drinking mugs that had been personalized. So decided to do the same and fill the drinking mug with all things chocolate...
And when I break the pricing down each mug will cost just under £3
Here's how I did it...
Step 1:
Your shopping list
5 Pack of Ferrero Focher (on offer £1)
Colored card
Hole punch
Pencil
Step 2
Design
My daughter started off by drawing a pattern on the mug using a pencil so we could rub out any mistakes before going over the pencil lines with the markers as shown below.
She needed a little help doing this (she wanted it to be neat)
Step 3
Bake
Place the mug(s) in the oven at 240°C for 30mins
Remove from oven and leave to cool completely
Step 4
Make your own gift tag
Step 5
Marshmellow cone

Here's how I did it...
Step 1:
Your shopping list
Mugs (I bought a set of 4 for £1.79 from my local super market)
Cellophane wrap
Decorative ribbon/bows
chocolate bar (I used Dairy Milk)
Marshmellows
Sharpies markers
House of Dorchester - stir in hot chocolate (from local supermarket £1)5 Pack of Ferrero Focher (on offer £1)
Colored card
Hole punch
Pencil

Place the mug(s) in the oven at 240°C for 30mins
Remove from oven and leave to cool completely
Step 4
Make your own gift tag
Cut out a gift card template and simply follow this step with smaller bits of card and layer up
Hole punch one end of the card so we can thread through the ribbon.
Step 5
Marshmellow cone
I could only find a large bag of marshmellow and couldn't find any smaller bags
So I decided to make a cone out of the cellophane and fill with some marshmellows and tied together with ribbon. Also this worked really well cause it would fit into the mug much easier.
Step 6
Fill the mug
I found this hot chocolate mix at my local supermarket and thought it was just perfect
House of Dorchester- stir in hot chocolate
they come in a various flavors and include a spoon
Step 7
Wrap
Make sure you add the tag and plenty of ribbon, a few bows
and viola
