Creating Inexpensive Gifts With Coffee Mugs
During the holidays you may become overwhelmed by the list of
people you need gifts for. When trying to find gifts it can be
difficult to get cute presents at inexpensive prices. The more
people on your list however, the more important cheap gifts are
however. When trying to put together inexpensive gifts for
people like teachers, neighbors, or church members, you should
consider using coffee mugs. Coffee mugs are great because there
are several different ways of giving them as gifts, depending on
who you are giving to. Use these fun and inexpensive ideas to
help your holiday gift list become a little shorter.
Candy
If the person on your list loves sweets, then consider taking a
lovely coffee mug and filling it with his or her favorites. You
can fill the large coffee mug with candy, wrap tissue paper or
cellophane wrap around it, secure it with a bow, and be
finished. This is an adorable idea for teachers or church
members. It is inexpensive and you can even choose mugs that
depict the recipient's favorite hobby or color. Besides,
everyone loves a little candy during the holidays. For an extra
special treat, consider making your own homemade candy for the
gift.
Coffee
As ironic as it may sound, sometimes coffee is the best gift to
give within a coffee mug. For a friend who can't resist gourmet
coffee, this can be a quick and easy gift idea. Simply fill an
oversized coffee mug with a small bag or two of specialty
gourmet coffee. This is an adorable way to give an
inexpensive,
yet personal gift. Consider adding a specialty spoon along for
extra flair as well.
Gift Cards
If you are giving a gift card this season and want to find a way
to make it a little more interesting, consider putting it inside
a coffee mug. You can fill the mug with a little tissue at the
bottom and then place the gift card inside. You can also use
shredded confetti tissue for filler. This is a great way to give
your gift card as well as a cool coffee mug to the recipient.
This is perfect for the coffee or tea drinker as well. You can
fill coffee mugs with a gift card for a local coffee shop, a
restaurant, or anything else. It is also a good way to avoid
losing the gift card under the tree. When it is wrapped into a
coffee mug, there is less of a chance it will be accidentally
tossed.
Soaps
If you need a feminine gift that does not cost a lot, consider
filling a pretty coffee mug with little soaps or lotions. You
can usually get these for very inexpensive prices at your local
bath or beauty store. These are perfect for young girls as well
who love to experiment with things like lip gloss and other
makeup. Just fill the mug and wrap a little tulle around it
along with a ribbon for a feminine look.
