Need an inexpensive but fun gift for a family? Give them a Hot Chocolate Party in a bag. I take no credit for this great idea – my creative mom gave it to my kids a few years ago & now we give it out every year. We usually give it to families who are going through a rough time & need a little pick-me-up.
You can add as little or as much as you want, but here’s what we do:
Start with a large colorful gift bag and add
- box of hot chocolate mix
- bag of Christmas marshmallows
- bag of Christmas butter cookies
- box of candy canes
- festive napkins & cups
- a stuffed snowman or penguin from the dollar store to stick in the top of the bag
It’s a super easy & inexpensive way to share some Christmas cheer!
Run on over to Rocks In My Dryer for some really great tips. (I’m going to have to try her delicious cornbread recipe.)
Love, Love,Love this idea! Can’t wait to do this for some last minute Christmas gifts! Thanks, Amy! :o)
Love, Julie

Ohh that’s a great idea!!
That is a great idea!
In South Africa it’s summer now but I do a similar thing for birthdays in our winter.
A mug with a sachet of hot choc mix, 3 – 5 marshmallows, all wrapped up in cellophane with a gorgeous bow!
