Gift baskets are kind of over used I think– but a great way to not make it like you ran to the store last minute to pick up the first gift basket you see, a little set of mug rugs holiday gift basket might be just the thing you need.
It’s a blend of the hand made and the store bought world + a little personalized. Could go a long way! I’m thinking that a large pile of these could be made at once and then you just make sure you keep the other ‘fillers’ on hand. Just throw a few of each and you are ready for your next holiday get together, house warming gift, or friendly gift swap.

What kind of things could you include in your little gift basket?
- hot cocoa mixes- lots of flavors out there now! Tons to choose from
- yummy snacks
- marshmallows
- chocolate (this should be in every gift basket)
- peppermint sticks or candy canes
- new mugs
- tea
- coffee
- cookies
- you name it – it could fit in!
Wouldn’t it be fun to add a little sewing spin to it?
- spools of thread
- needles
- fabric packs
- bunches of scraps
- scissors
The idea is to have fun. Make it personalized for the recipient. This is just a great option to make it a little hand made without going over the top and sewing up a lap sized quilt. Everything going along with the mug rugs can really be whatever.
