Cheap christmas mugs in boxes needed

nightsky224

Hi All,

I work for a charity and every year we have a big xmas party for our clients. We always get a little token gift for everyone (we have done xmas ornaments, photoframes) this year I thought a Christmas mug be nice. Ideally it needs to be boxed as will have 70 or so to wrap and cost around £1.50/£2.

Has anyone got any idea of where I could look?

I read on the 'let it snow' thread (I'm sorry I can't remember who posted) that home bargains or b&m had Xmas mugs for 59p, I doubt these would be boxed but you could wrap with cellophane which can be bought cheaply and you would have enough left in your budget to pop something inside, wee choccies or something if appropriate

I just found a place on eBay selling 25 packaging boxes for £5.85 with free postage.

This would work out at 24p per box, so if you bought the 59p Xmas mugs which my3girls suggested above, you'd still be within budget AND you could probably put a few sweets inside too.

Since you are a charity, maybe you could contact the people who sell these boxes and ask if you could buy them at a discount?

Hi there,

Quality save have boxed mugs for 99p, they have christmas ones and the "keep calm" range. Also, places like card factory may do you a discount for being a charity and buying in bulk. Failing that, try Ebay as most business sellers will give you multiple discount if you buy a certain quantity, and you could mix and match the designs if they are from the same online seller.

Just to follow this up, thank you for all your advice. In the end we had girly mugs donated luckily in boxes) and I bought monopoly mugs from asda for the guys £8 per set of 4 and wrapped them in celo and tissue paper, didn't leave enough time to order the boxes online
