MOTHER’S DAY IN A MUG GIFT IDEA
MOTHER’S DAY GIFT IN A MUG SUPPLIES
- coffee mug [I used this darling floral one under $5]
- paper shred
- lip gloss [my fav under $5 drug store gloss in shade Creme Brulee or Tiramisu ]
- gold flower claw clip
- Target gift card [I did $10]
- faux flowers [mine were from Dollar Tree – similar here]
- wire cutters
- mesh tulle or ribbon
- flower pick [found at Dollar Tree – here are similar]
- DIY tag using cardstock & printer
INSTRUCTIONS FOR HOW TO FILL THE MUG FOR MOTHER’S DAY
ONE // First, I started by adding some paper shred to the mug as a filler.
TWO // Next, I added the lip gloss, claw clip & gift card.
THREE // Then, I trimmed a flower from the bundle with wire cutters and added it inside.
FOUR // This step is optional since I don’t have a link for the flower picks and I made the little card. But I simply typed out “You are a great M M” [leaving space between the m’s] on a card, printed it out on cardstock, cut around it to make a rectangle, and then used double-sided tape to attach the flower pick to the front of the card to spell MOM using the flower as the O! You could skip this part, but I do think it is cute!
FIVE // Lastly, I tied some mesh tulle to the handle to make a bow and finish off the gift!
This gift in a mug would be so cute to deliver to your mom, sister or favorite mama friends! Any special ladies who deserve a little something to let them know you think they are a great mom this Mother’s Day!!
The possibilities are endless with this mug, so feel free to put your own spin on it.
But the pretty floral mug with gold accents is a MUST in my opinion!! Have fun filling it from there!
