The clock is ticking, but there’s still time to create this Quick and Easy Christmas Gift for friends, neighbors, teachers, or so many of the other special people in your life!  Hi friends, it’s Wendy Sue here today, and I’m excited to share this project because I love sharing hot chocolate during the freezing cold month of December, and when I can dress it up, like I did here with the “Holly Jolly” collection, it makes it even more fun and special. With a few quick-to-assemble die-cut boxes and a few fun ingredients, you can build these boxes and fill them full of yumminess in no time at all! 

Here’s how easy it is to make these gifts:

First, cut the boxes with an electronic die-cutting machine.

Assemble the box according to the directions.

Add a strip of patterned paper to the front of the box.  I used a tear strip from a coordinating paper:

Next, assemble a tag to clip to the handle:

Now the box is complete!

Repeat the process for the number of boxes you’d like to create.

Now, assemble the ingredients to go inside the box.  Start by filling cute little jars with a little booster for the cocoa:

Hot chocolate packets – choose a variety!  Plus, that means a variety of left-overs for you to drink later:

And, of course, wooden spoons.  Because everything is cuter with a wooden spoon:

Use a coordinating ribbon to tie the spoons to the jars.  I just pulled random ribbons from my stash and I love how they are each unique.

And fill the boxes so you can start delivering!!

Would you like a closer look at each gift?  Here you go!

Enjoy the holiday season – and don’t forget to relax and enjoy a cup of hot chocolate for yourself!
