Chocoholic box for my friend for putting 4 of us up at her house on our upcoming Christmas night out :j
Started off with the cup & saucer bought for £1 in charity shop, then the box which I think matches well and just loads of chocolate and hot chocolate sachets.
Pictures are a bit dark, don't know what happened
and wrapped - again don't know why so dark0 -
