Here are some snowman mugs I made this morning for our cousins. I am going to make them for each family member so like 20 or so mugs. I am still trying to decide if I want to write their name on the bottom of the snowman.
Eta: Do you think I should add their names? Where?
I'm also making a Movie Night in a bag/basket for each couple we buy for. I'm going to buy Redbox promo codes and give each couple a code along with their favorite movie candy, popcorn, hot chocolate mix, and candy canes. I will put it in a gift bag or some kind of basket.
So cute! Y'all are way more creative than I am! I love those mugs penguin129 I did something similar one year but they didn't turn out nearly as well (in my head I'm a lot craftier than I am in real life )

My sister made the whole family the hand warmers last year.
I saw how to make the hot chocolate spoons in A.ll Y.ou magazine this month (melt .5 oz of chocolate into a ice cube tray and put in the spoon) so I might make some of those for people to have hot cocoa.
One year I made sugar hand scrubs for my coworkers. They seemed to love them. It's very easy and I put them in mason jars. I also do lots of food gifts. Saltine toffee, fudge, and the pretzels with hershey kisses and m&M's on top are always a big hit.
I made initial mugs for my whole family last year for xmas morning. No one mixed up their cups, and we can reuse them each year.
I also made the mugs for the group of ladies that watch DS and gifted it to them with some tea. I also made an arm knit scarf for his main daycare provider.
This year we might attempt the handmade patterned candles. And I will probably make tins of cookies/treats for some people as well.
I'm making my nieces and nephews crowns, batman masks, and something else... I haven't decided yet. I may try again on the homemade crayons. But, I sort of want another dress up item. They already have batman capes. Hmmmmm!

For my coworkers I'm going to make mason jars full of dry ingredients for my banana bread that was a big hit when I brought it in for work one day this month. I have to test it out first though, I want to make them so all they would need to do is add melted butter, eggs and mashed bananas.
Still thinking of things to make for my family. We usually do diy things. Last year I hand stenciled initials on white mugs and added a bag of coffee beans and small bottle of Bailey's.
I added the names. I think they still look ok. Agree??
Super cute, great idea! Do think there might need a bit more white space between the smile and the name? I think they are super cute as is but I know why you are questioning it. I always second guess myself with crafts!
I will also be sewing more pages to go in DD's quiet book and most likely making her cousin one too.
I love quiet books!!! I found mine a while ago and it brought back all the memories. I had a Bible one (which is weird because we never went to church) and I loved putting Jonah in the felt whale. There used to be a GAME OF THRONES quiet book on etsy!!! It is no longer available. One of the pages was "braid Khal Drogo's hair" it was adorable.
I'm also making a Movie Night in a bag/basket for each couple we buy for. I'm going to buy Redbox promo codes and give each couple a code along with their favorite movie candy, popcorn, hot chocolate mix, and candy canes. I will put it in a gift bag or some kind of basket.
A while back Target had these in their dollar spot and I snatched up a bunch. I filled them with bags of popcorn, movie box sized candy, popcorn seasoning, and the redbox codes too. They were a hit.

Can I be an AW and show off the first bag I completed? I'm so in love. I have never sewed a bag or anything with a zipper and I was sure it would be a disaster, but I am super happy. The pattern was a bit tricky to follow but turned out great.
