Homemade gifts just have a special way of touching someone’s heart. Why not try one out this holiday season by making a personalized hot cocoa kit?

Add a unique touch with specialized mugs and delicious cocoa flavors for each person. It’s one gift everyone on your list is sure to love!

To create your own homemade hot chocolate mix, just follow these simple steps from Blain’s Farm & Fleet.

1. Choose a Style of Mug

First you’ll want to choose a style of mug for each person on your list. Try to match their personality to a cup or mug.

Select from collectible sports-themed mugs to modern coffee mugs. There is a style of mug for everyone on your list.

You could also get creative and use something other than a mug, such as a mason jar!

2. Choose a Hot Cocoa Flavor

Choose from a variety of hot cocoa flavors: hazelnut, caramel, mint, white hot cocoa, and more! Place your chosen flavor of hot cocoa mix into the mug.

You can either place an individual bag into the mug, or transfer the cocoa mix into a festive-style bag.

3. Include a Spoon for Mixing

Place a candy spoon for mixing into the mug next to the cocoa. This will ensure perfect stirring for the cocoa!

4. Fill the Mug With Mini Marshmallows

Fill the cup with mini marshmallows or a favorite candy of the person you are giving the gift to. Chocolate chips and peppermint candy canes go great with hot cocoa!

5. Wrap Your Gift in Cellophane

It’s a good idea to wrap your gift in decorative cellophane or tissue paper. This will ensure all the contents in the mug stay secure and fresh.

You can either give the gift as is, or place it in a decorative box or bag. Festive boxes are a great way to wrap any present. Plus, the recipient can reuse them!

6. Add a Bow & Gift Tag

Place a bow, ribbon, or gift tag around each mug for every person on your list.

7. Give the Gift of a Warm Cup of Hot Cocoa

Now, all the recipient needs to do is add hot water or milk. And just like that, you have great, personalized gifts your loved ones are sure to enjoy as the weather turns colder.

Mix and match mugs and contents year after year to each individual person on your list!
