Coffee Mugs, Soup Mugs, or Beer Mugs -- Great Gift Containers!

Make Mug Gifts With Soup Mugs or Coffee Mugs

Unbreakable Beer Steins Are Another Option

Soup mugs, coffee mugs, or unbreakable beer steins make very nice containers for homemade gifts. They are readily available, easy to work with, and can be an inexpensive gift.

Start by choosing an appropriate mug; for example, a sports theme, holiday theme or any theme that would mean something to the recipient

Also, choose a mug that will hold the gifts you intend to include. Place tissue paper or some other filler in the bottom to hold the gift items in place.

You can make many different theme gifts. One idea is a gift for gardeners or someone who loves plants or flowers. The design on the mug can indicate your theme. Fill the mug with herbal tea bags, sweets, and a pretty notepad. Wrap the finished gift in cello paper, tie it with raffia or curly ribbon, and add a small decorative item or silk flower.

For a nice presentation, select at least one gift item that is 3-4 inches taller than the mug.

Dollar stores usually have a nice selection of coffee mugs as well as gifts in place in the mugs. You aren't limited to ceramic mugs; look for heavy plastic or metal mugs, too.
