Holiday Gift Idea

by Sophie Langlois


Whether its a secret santa, office party or for a special someone this gift is a fabulous and festive holiday gift! When it comes to gift giving, I always want to do something that is nice, sentimental and something that the person will actually enjoy and use. I was scrolling through pinterest during one of my classes, per usual, this past week and I found a hot chocolate mix that someone had layered into a big glass Mason jar. I thought that this would be such a cute, and sweet ;), gift to hand out during the holidays, so I pinned it to one of my food boards. Then, this weekend while I was in Target with my dad I saw the most adorable printed and monogrammed mugs and I knew that together, these two things would be the perfect set gift. So tonight I tested out my pinterest skills and attempted to put the gift together and, if I do say so myself, they turned out pretty well!    

So, in order to make the hot coco mix I started by filling the bottom of the jar with Swiss Miss hot coco powder until the jar was about half way full. Then, I added about a half a cup of mini marshmallows and then layered crushed candy canes and chocolate chips on top, it was as simple as that! It took me all in all about 5 minuets, no joke. I added a cute gold "Merry Christmas" sticker to add a little bit of decoration to the jar and then I was all set! The nice thing about this gift is, before I added the sticker of course, it was holiday neutral so you could give it to anyone no matter what holiday they celebrated! Lastly, I just wrapped the mug in a little red and white polka dotted bag, added a "Merry Christmas" sticker and a name tag. Voila! The perfect holiday present :)  

Happy Holidays Lovelies!!
