On a gift tag let your recipient know how much water to add the cocoa mix to and tie the gift tag to the mug as well. 
I put the mug and ornament in gift bag for easy travel.  Ready for gifting!

    Those are adorable! What a clever idea and so much more interesting than sticking a packet in a mug. Btw… love those mugs, too!
