I have made girly choccy cups - with photo.

I decided to buy my daughter (8) a nice girly mug because she loves a hot chocolate or warm milk before bed. I was going to put it in her stocking but decided to make it a proper present intsead.

I saw these lovely mugs in Woolworths for £2 each so I bought one for her friend too and have put inside sachets of hot chocolate, various fun size chocolate bars, santa chocolate lollies, a few chocolate coins and little foil christmas shapes, wrapped them in snowdrop cellophane and topped with ribbon, bow and handmade name tag :)

It would also make a nice present for a teacher.

Total cost per mug = £3 :T

    Gorgeous!

    I have made mugs for my own friends with a pair of snuggly socks and a personal item (candle, mini bottle of wine, chocs) they are lovely!

    Must go to woolies to look for a wee mug for DS2, DS1 has a spider man one with sweeties.

    WOW!

    They look so professional! And you'd pay about £10-£15 in the shops for those. It's such a rip off!

    I'm sure your daughter will be delighted...

    Well done and thanks for sharing.
