Small Gifts

Well, the weather here in Western Iowa has decided to go from single digits to the 40°s and possibly even 50°s this week. That kind of stops me from making my yearly peanut brittle. I don't like making it unless it's cold.  It gets too sticky in warm weather. So, instead,  I made gifts for all of my grandchildren; real and daycare.

I took little reindeer mugs, added a packet of hot cocoa mix, a candy cane and a flavored lip balm for every child.  Put it in a Christmas bag and tied them with Christmas ribbon. I put the child's name on the name tag. Not expensive but enough to make each one of them happy and feel special. I made twenty and had  a few left over mugs that I will make up and take to our local family shelter for them to give away.
