Filling mugs with treats is a really simple yet effective and beautiful way of presenting gifts to people. It allows you to personalise your gifts according to the tastes of whoever you are giving them too.

1. Tea

Pack your mug with individually wrapped teabags in flavours that you think they will love. Earl Grey and English Breakfast tea are among the most popular teas drank in Britain, however green tea has rapidly gained popularity over the past few years and now comes in a variety of amazing flavours.

Imagine sitting with a mug filled with a delicious hot drink in the evening while enjoying the ambience of the light and the aroma of the burning candle...marvellous!

For the colder season, it is the perfect idea to pick a nice pair of knitted gloves to give with the mug. They will thank you for it especially on those frosty winter nights!

5. Get Well Soon Gifts

For a friend or relative that is feeling a bit under the weather, why not present a mug with a pot honey, a fresh lemon and a much-needed lip balm to keep chapped lips at bay.

6. Biscuits

Nothing goes better with a hot mug of tea than biscuits, so fill out your gift with some yummy cookies or even better still, some of your own home-baked specialities.

7. Shaving Stuff

A great gift idea for that special man in your life, add some grooming equipment in your mug, such as a shaving brush and cream, or perhaps some beard oil for the lion who likes to keep his mane.

Think tree decorations, candy canes and decorated pine cones that have been hand-crafted at home for that ultimate festive look.

9. Chocolates

A mug full of your favourite chocolates is a decadent treat that is sure to go down well with whoever receives it.

Whether it is sweet, salty or a mix of both, popcorn makes a great mug filler which can be wrapped in cellophane and tied with a matching ribbon to keep it fresh.
