Found some great large mugs/coffee mugs in Wilkinson today 99p each, they are white, quite large and there are two designs.
One says Good morning handsome and has black love hearts down the handle , the other says Good morning beautiful and has pink love hearts down the handle.
Have bought OH one and a couple of our friends who I'm totally stuck for, going to find some little novelties to put inside or perhaps make them a chocolate mug with sachets of drinking chocolate etc, then wrap them in cellophane and a bow.

I got 6 of these on Saturday (except mine say morning gorgeous on them)!!! Filled them with some nice sachets of hot choc, a whisk, a wrapped bath bomb, a candy cane and 2 ferrero rocher chocs! Will have to post a pic of them as soon as I work out how. With cellophane and silver ribbon each one came to £2.50..what a bargain!!

Like yourself and Peter Pan, I bought some of these on Saturday

I was really impressed with the height of them more than anything, and, if they're not used for Christmas, would make great Valentine or birthday gifts imo, but look forward to seeing a finished one

For anyone with a Wilkinsons catalogue, they're part of a breakfast set on Page 73. They also had some nice Linda Barker mugs (maybe too small for filling with small gifts, but bought 4 because they looked good )

m&s have a box of 4 small chocolate bath bombs in a lovely little gift box and wrapped individually in gold foil to make them look like proper yummy chocolate!

They're on 3 for 2 if it helps anyone

Look forward to seeing a picture of them.
