Christmas Table Gifts

Great idea to have this topic collated in one thread.

I went through a stage of doing pots of gold as my Christmas table gifts, then last year I completely forget so everyone ended up with a scratch card!

This year I will be doing the "taste of christmas" mugs. I already have some little packs of mini gingerbread men, gingerbread latte sachets, and hot choc sachets. I will be on the look out for mulled wine sachets, candy canes, snowmen shaped marshmallows, and of course, mugs, over the coming weeks.

I saw a really cute idea on Pinterest for decorating/personalising plain white mugs to look like snowmen, which would be brilliant for Taste of Christmas mugs :



They look really simple to do with those porcelain-painting sharpie pens.

I've done Christmas painted wine glasses before (similar to the above mugs) - fun to do and would be easy to fill up. A friend did some for her hen do with names on- saved people forgetting which was their glass and extra washing up.

I'm making homemade candles this year, they'd be good for a Xmas table

I usually do Pots of Gold, but last year I decided to do Festive Pots instead. I thought I had some photos but I can't find them at the moment.

I bought some paper ice cream type tubs with Christmassy decorations on (from Sainsbugs I think) and filled them with chocolate sprouts, choc satsumas, choc Christmas puddings, choc snowballs, a Malteser reindeer, marshmallow snowmen, a choc Santa and a Christmas scratchcard. I then put each one in a cellophane bag from £shop, tied it with curly ribbon & added a tag with this rhyme on it..

Here's a pot of festive cheer
To keep you going 'til next year.
Santa, snowballs, a reindeer too
And some festive luck from me to you.
Also no Christmas should be without
Satsumas, puddings and some sprouts!



Everyone was impressed and said it made a change from the Pots of Gold, although my brother moaned because there were no Ferrero Rocher chocolates!

Oohhh, choc coins, always an Xmas must.

I always do table gifts! This year I can't decide whether to do pots of gold or get some porcelain markers from baker ross and decorate plain white mugs and just add some chocolates.


I've never done pots of gold though some I think I'm leaning that way currently!

I always do a scratchcard each, and some luxury chocolates in a small knitted stocking for each person, this year i bought some little red and white cardboard houses to put the sweets in.
