Teacher and Neighbor Gifts

I always like to keep Christmas Gifts as simple as possible.  This year our teacher and neighbor gifts will be the same gift!  A few months ago I was clicking around Pinterest and saw a recipe for Nutella Hot Choclate and was instantly in love.  Yum!!  I have family who live in New Zealand and Nutella is a staple over there, and here at our house.  But as Hot Chocolate?! Can I hear a "hip hip!" This recipe
(although very decadent) is now one of our favorite treats and we can't wait to share it with our neighbors and our children's teachers.



This Gift includes:
  • A cereal or soup bowl-the best price I found on these was at the $ store but only in colors black or green, which are great! I bought mine at Ross in a 4 pack for $7 and Fred Meyer for $2 each
  • A small container of Nutella.  I found these for 3/$7.88 at Sams Club
  • Baggies of Marshmellows (Just stapled shut)
  • 2 Red and white paper straws.  I found mine at a local restaurant supply store.
Tie with a ribbon and attach with tags, one with greeting and the other with THE Recipe.


My 4 year old wanted to make sure I got a picture of the marshmellows (His favorite)



I wanted the tag to have a line so that my kids could write their own names, it is more personal that way, doncha think?  Below are graphics of my tags, feel free to save or print yourself!



This is my favorite type of gift, simple, pretty, and delicious. 

As a parting note my sister, mom and I wanted to come up with a clever line or rhyme, but didn't succeed.  Feel free to laugh or roll your eyes at the ones that didn't work out:

"Forget a cup of cheer, Grab a bowl!  Merry Christmas!"
"We are nuts about you!  Merry Christmas!"
"Your nuts for being our neighbor! Oh wait you didn't have a choice. Merry Christmas!"

Some that we found on the internet were:
"Fall in love? I'd rather fall in chocolate."
"My blood type is Nutella"


Okay maybe they aren't that funny but wait until you are really tired, they get funnier, I promise!

Thanks for the visit!
