DIY HOT CHOCOLATE GIFT JARS

We’re trying to go more minimalist this Christmas with our gift-giving. It’s taken about 15 years of overspending and wading through landfills of clutter to get here, but we’re here, and…it’s way more fun than I EVER thought it would be.

The ethos behind stripped-back presents (for us, at least) is to only give what will truly be enjoyed and loved.

And who doesn’t freakin’ ENJOY and LOVE hot freakin’ chocolate?? With marshmallows. Sprinkles. Cookies. And extra chocolate?

So this is what we’re doing this year.

Found the *most* Christmassy of all drinking jars and marshmallows at Flying Tiger Copenhagen (if you’ve never been, what are you even doing with your life), added the obligatory gingerbread man, and topped it off with a shower of neon heart sprinkles from my fave sprinkles repository, The Shire Bakery.

Of course, you can load your jars however you want, the only prerequisite being that it tastes brilliant—which these do. Because I tested them…A few times. 😬
