Here is a fantastic idea for a holiday gift
that is homemade, inexpensive, and easy to personalize! This is the perfect
gift to give when:
* You have more people on your Christmas
list then Santa...
* You have a variety of people who
practice different faiths at your office...
* You just wanted to give "a little
something" to a neighbor, not break your bank...
* You need favors that are quick, easy,
and inexpensive for a holiday party...
Heck, this will be a hit with everyone!!!!!!!
What you will need to provide for this
project:
* 1/3 of a cup of whichever
Gourmet Hot Chocolate Mix has become your favorite....
*A Mug - (Psstt...You can get great mugs at your local
"Dollar store", or "five and dime"! Try reg or green ones
for Christmas, Silver or cobalt blue for Chanukah, or , how about one with the
persons' name on it!!)
*A square of plastic wrap (about one foot square is fine. Try the
colored ones too!!)
* 3 candy kisses
* A dozen mini marshmallows
* One candy cane, and...
* Some curling ribbon, raffia, or
other ribbon
Ok, now you are ready! Simply place the 1/3
cup of Gourmet Hot Chocolate Mix in the center of the sqare of plastic wrap,
add in the 3 candy kisses, add in the marshmallows and tie it up into a little
sack!! Cut a length of the curling ribbon and use it to tie the candy cane to
the little sack. Then just drop the sack into the mug, and attach this poem to
it:
"I've heard you've been so good this
year
And I'm so glad to hear it
With freezin' weather drawin' near
This will warm your spirits!
It's what all the snowmen sip
(just add some boilin' water)
Stir it round' with your cane,
It's sure to do the trick!!
