I got my husband a few, that way he can see if he left his keys/wallet/gym bag in the car without having to go there and I can check if he brought the lunch I packed him to work without getting out of bed in the morning.

They are pretty affordable too – at less than $20 when you buy a 4-pack – so I recommend getting a few and attaching to your DIY gifts for a little extra something.

I’m no DIY-er (too lazy for anything too elaborated), but I had fun making these.

I spray painted some mason jar lids gold to make them festive and added a red and white twine with a handwritten red tag attached. Then, I placed each jar in an inexpensive basket with some mixed Christmas shredded paper. Doesn’t it look cute? I’m pretty proud of it!

If I had more time, I’d have added a cute handwritten (or printed) piece of paper with instructions. But it’s okay, as I’m pretty sure everyone knows how to make a cup of hot cocoa (2 tablespoons mix + 1/2 cup milk or water)! 😊
