This pretty little cup and two packets of chocolate
flavored coffees is a very affordable little gift! The coffees were 97 cents each at Walmart, and you can purchase a
very affordable cup of your choice as well. Curling ribbon is under $2 for a big roll, which can be used for many, many
gifts.
If you'd like a fancier ribbon, you can purchase Valentine's
Day, or colored ribbons with wire edges for $2 per roll(9"). Tie a regular bow, and form the wires with your fingers
to make the bow full. You can also make your ribbon long, and make a double bow by folding the extra ribbon back toward
the bow, and tucking it into the middle section where the bow ties together.
If you'd like to add a little extra treat, you can
give a bag of chocolate truffles with the coffees and cup.
Or another sweet treat is a tiny book stuffed between
the coffee packets!
Cut 3 or 4 long strands of curling ribbon, and wrap
them all together around a packet of hot chocolate-I used Land o Lakes hot chocolate. Once tied, use scissors to curl
the ribbon.
Put the hot chocolate packet with the curly ribbon
in the center of the other packets, and place them in a large mug. The ribbons will "spill" out of the sides
this way.
If you'd like to add a little something extra, you can
put a small book under the cup and tie it all together with a few more strands of curling ribbon. My cup has a
saucer with it-if you use a cup with a saucer, you may want to use a tiny bit of tape to hold the cup and saucer together.
