How to make these Coffee Cup Christmas Gift Ideas
Step 1: Pick what you want to put in the mug. Choose between small coffee bags, pods, hot cocoa packets or tea bags.
Step 2: Fill it up. Add in the shredded paper confetti, coffee or hot chocolate, add a few chocolates, and candy cane.
Step 3: Add Ornament. I used a ribbon to tie an ornament around the mug. You could put it around the handle or even just after you wrap it in the loot bag.
Step 4: Wrap it up. Carefully pull a clear loot bag up and over the gift. Use a twist tie to hold together and tie on another ribbon. (Note: the larger one with the bag took 2 bags one up and one upside down).
Ways to personalize them
- Find a fun coffee mug. Choose one with a saying that means something to that person. Maybe they go camping, like dogs, birds, traveling, etc you get the idea.
- Choose a special ornament. Pick one that means something to them. Same thing- maybe find an ornament that represents your friendship, something they like, a kind of car they drive, or maybe they lost a loved one grab a cardinal ornament.
- Choose candy they love. Maybe they like Reeses cups, butterscotch candies, anything smaller that could fit.
