happy december

It's the month of gift giving and I know sometimes it is hard to come up with something to give friends / family. I thought I would share a fun gift idea I did this year.

Starbucks Hot Cocoa - One of my very favorite drinks especially in the winter time.

Here is what I did:
1. I bought this huge container of Starbucks cocoa mix at Costco for around $12.
2. Then I went to TJ Maxx and bought these cute glass jars for $1.99 each.
3. I searched and searched online for a Starbucks Hot Cocoa logo but couldn't find one so I doctored up their "Coffee" logo to say "Hot Cocoa" in Photoshop and typed up the cocoa instructions from the big container next to it.
4. I printed off the label & instructions onto sticky labels (but it would be just as cute printed on paper and attached as a gift tag) and attached them to the jars.
5. Then I tied them with some ribbon I had lying around.

Total damage = around $6 each.
(the container easily made 3 full jars but you could stretch it if you found smaller containers to maybe 4 or 5).

In case you want to do this too... you can download the logo + instructions by clicking HERE.
