I recently created a gift basket for a sweet local lady’s benefit and it was a big hit. Since it’d make a great gift idea for the holidays, I wanted to share the idea as a part of my Michaels Makers’ December challenge. Purchase everything you need from Michaels Craft Stores and assemble or add a little DIY to make it a little more handmade. 

Materials I used: Michael’s has an awesome gift selection, DIY/craft supplies AND so many great gift wrapping accessories too!

• Eat, drink & be merry sign (They were on sale the last time I looked!) or snag a beautiful picture frame or two and print the free printables provided below
• basket & shredded white paper filler 
• two mason jar mugs 
• green mason jar lids with straws
• Christmas ornament
• mini faux Christmas tree with burlap covered root ball 
• regular or organic cocoa mix in a mason jar with chalkboard lid label
• optional: peppermint essential oil or peppermint schnapps, washi tape

More options: candy canes, marshmallows, holiday CD or movie, Christmas candle or homemade Christmas cookies. 

  

Making or donating a promotional type gift? Add in your business card and samples. 

A budget friendly option. Print one or both of the attached chalkboard printables and frame in place of making a DIY sign or buying a print:
