Today I will be sharing a tutorial for a versatile holiday gift: a Snowman Sauna Mug. This gift is a whimsical spin on the traditional mug and hot chocolate (or coffee) gift.
Glass mugs (mine were inexpensive at my local dollar store)
Snowman marshmallow Peeps
Marshmallows
Candy canes
Seasonal peppermint Kisses (my favorite!)
Your favorite hot chocolate mix (mine is Nestle's Abuelita's instant hot chocolate)
In each mug, place a hot chocolate mix, marshmallows, a candy cane, a few kisses, and one snowman marshmallow Peep.
Attach the following instructions:
"Snowman Sauna:" In your “hot tub” add bubbly hot water and hot cocoa mix. Top with marshmallows, and then slip your snowman in for a warm, delicious bath! Sit back and enjoy.
Kids and adults alike are sure to appreciate this whimsical treat.
They would be fun as place settings at your next holiday party, as party favors, or as a gift for a neighbor or teacher.
If opting to use one as as gift, you can wrap your Snowman Sauna with cello wrap, baker's twine or ribbon, and attach a stamped "Snowman Sauna" tag as I did for my daughters' teachers' holiday gifts this year.
I also made a card using Papertrey Ink's Friendship Jar and Holiday Fillers stamp sets...
I pasted the Snowman Sauna instructions on the back.
I also added plenty of glitter for sparkle!
... You could also omit the mug, place the marshmallows, candy cane, kisses, and marshmallow snowman in a baggie with snowman instructions as festive gifts for your child's classmates.
As a thank you for visiting today, I am giving away a Snowman Sauna Mug with one of my vintage Christmas tiny books.
Happy, warm winter wishes to you!
