Re the snowman Soup & Pots of Gold mugs

I've had mugs printed with my own designs using places like this:

I have to ask where you got the printed mugs. That makes them look extra fabby and christmassy. :D:D:D:D

Thank you

I designed the mugs myself and had them printed by a man I use from eBay. Really good quality and quick turnaround but they were £6 each plus postage so not cheap!

Giggle, your hampers are lovely.....did you do the ribbon thingy on the box of the second one, the dark blue hamper? Give me pointers to make the same if you did, please......I would appreciate it :-0[/QUOTE

Thanks, Giggle, looking forward to it.

Okay, so I'm doing two of those hot choc & mug gifts for two of my friends at work. The plan is to keep it under £5.

So far I've got the mugs, 4 sachets each of hot choc, 2 cute key rings and I'm splitting some Quality Street sweets (they love the sweets) between the two pressies.

I don't know why but I'm feeling like I'm missing something......to give it an extra omph . I did decide to skip the whisk and the marshmallows so I don't know what is wrong.....any ideas??. Thanks

A chocolate stirrer? 2 in a pack for £1 at Lidl or easy enough to make your own with plastic spoons or the stirrers from costa/starbucks etc.

I don't think this has been mentioned but I did a "pub in a box" for my brother, it was a jug of beer (from local brewery) crisps, pork scratchings, tankard, beer mats and peanuts. It was quite easy to put together and he loved it.

Spent over an hour reading through this thread and have been inspired by many different options.

I usually get my GF's family a present (for her mum, dad, brother and sisters) and it's usually a 'just dance' wii game or something along those lines.

I think I'll do them a hot chocolate hamper, budget of around £20. Thinking of getting a few different tubs from Whittards, lots of different sachets, marshmallows, flakes, choc strirrer etc.

They already have an overflow of mugs...

Nice idea might do this if I get a male on secret santa at work!

Hi jkl123,
Welcome to the board. Well, there are several ideas you could use for the couple's night in hamper you are doing.....movies, games, couples pampering, etc. The idea is to look at the interests of the couple to find the right kind of hamper for them. Tell us a few general details about the couple(s)....that would help us help you,
