Not sure about the marshmallows etc, but I do know that Whittards do AMAZING hot chocolate if you can afford it! Comes in lovely tins and they do different flavours. YUM!

If you can't wrap up the gift yourself, you could try taking it to a card shop as they often have the wrap in to make up things themselves, so they may be able to help?

Have you thought about buying a wine bottle bag and cutting it down to size? You could put your treats in the mug, punch a hole at the top of either side of the cut down bag and tie with ribbon

Try asda and tesco etc in baking isle for marshmallows

to wrap it up just go on ebay and get a roll of cellophane, it is really cheap and you can get all different designs on it :-) xx

When I made hampers a few years ago I spoke nicely to a lady in my local flower shop and she gave me some cellophane for wrapping them up, worth a try if you don't want to be lumbered with a big roll.

For something special, get a wooden or plastic spoon and melt some chocolate onto it (then set and wrap up obviously), when it goes into the hot choc the chocolate melts into the drink to make it more chocolatey...looks really nice all wrapped up too! They sell them here for £9!! :eek:

The other week I got some pink and white marshmallows for under a quid and a box of 10 Galaxy hot choc sachets for around the same at Home Bargains, then got one of the 30p white mugs from Tesco

sorry didnt get time to read reply posts so sorry if repeating anything

- You can get cellophane cones from ebays perfect for popping a third of a bag of mini marshmellows in.. cellophane from ebay or some florists.
-Selection of hot chocolates like options , cadburys sachets or highlights.
-how about small tin of whipped cream (depends how fresh u can keep it :S)
-lovely cup , asda have a sale as does wilkinsons
- Maybe some mini chocolate snow men and santa from wilkinsons or a mini box of celebrations for 99p
I know you can get matching cup and coaster Christmas theme from card factory for under £2.00
