Quick Gift Idea

I filled coffee mugs with goodies, and attached tags The coffee cup is "a Perfect Blend" from Stampin' Up! For Dad's cup I used a washer around the hole, and stapled the ribbon for a masculine feel. The green cup, I took light brown cardstock, and ran thru my crimpler to look like a coffee huggie. This set would also make a great card with a Gift card inside from Starbucks, Dunkin' Donuts, or Panera
