How to give a mug as a present

cathy36

I am thinking of buying 3 Cath Kidson mugs for 3 ladies that I buy for every year. Has anyone any ideas on how I can make these up individual to look more than a 'mug'. You don't get gift boxes with them too so has anyone ever given just a mug but made the warapping lovely.
Thank you.

You could put a sachet of nice hot chocolate and some marshmallows and choc buttons in individual little bags or a nice coffee sachet and some nice biscuits and wrap in cellophane with a nice bow and curling ribbon.

Can you get Kath Kidson gift bags or bags that co-ordinate. I would do as lulubell suggests and pop them into a gift bag.

I looked up gift bags, they are about £3.50 so will probably do what lulubell suggested.
thank you

If you can't get hold of the cellophane, I've done this before with cheap tea towels. Of course, you can't see the contents but the tea towel will be useful - tie a bow around the top and it still looks reasonably pretty.

I haven't seen any mini whisks, but Dunelm Mill have mini graters for 69p, ideal for grating chocolate over the top.
