Picture from: Parents MagazineEvery morning I get an e-mail from Parents Magazine with lots of great ideas. So, this morning I thought I would share one. They have these adorable monogrammed mugs w/ yummy goodies inside. I think this is what I'm going to make for my co-workers!

2. Attach these instructions to side of mug: Blend cocoa mix and 3/4 cup boiling water together until chocolate chips begin to melt.

This is seriously adorable! LOVE this idea! I think your co workers will love it. Maybe I will do this for mine too!
So cute! Martha's holiday magazine has something similar.
Oh what a great idea for gifts!! Perfect.
Oh, and I took the Twilight quiz you've got on the side... I'm an Esme. Haha. I think it helped that I'm a mom :)
I love these so cute... Hey did you get your packages yet... I mailed out 2 last Wednesday... I forgot to put the birds in the twilight box so I shipped them seperate...let me know...love you..xoxoxo
I wanted to do something like that this year. I'll have to check out that website.
That is an adorable idea! Looks like Anthropoligie monogram mugs! Love your header...is that Cosmo Cricket paper? cherry
Thank you for the recipe! I bet your co-workers will love the gift! I wonder if you could pick up some cheap (I mean inexpensive) mugs at a thrift store or Walmart and paint their monograms on? I think I am getting too complicated. That is always my problem!

Thanks for the great idea. I was going to make monogrammed mugs, but it makes more sense to put something in them as well. Thanks
