  • The girls are going to love them. I love them and I'm 22 hehe!! They are such great value for £3. I much prefer to make gifts than buy them, get so much more for your money too!!

    Well done you!!!!
  • I saw some of these ready made up in Sainsburys last night and yours are so much nicer and much cheaper!

    This is probably a daft question but where do you get the hot chocolate sachets from?
    Thanks
  • alm721 - I've seen the individual hot options and cadbury's satchets in supermarkets like tesco and morrisons.

    Hi I have just finished wrapping my chocolate mugs for my husbands children in need tomorrow at work. I used PEBEO 150 porcelaine paints to decorate them and not being artistic just creative I painted holly leaves and berrys then gold dots randomly around. On the dark blue cups i painted snowflakes then wrote Let it snow, in white. I too wrapped them in cellophane after filling the cups and tied them with red and gold ribbons.
