DIY "Warming Up for the Holidays" Gift Basket

by Refashionably Late

I love making a cup of hot cocoa and snuggling up near the fire during the Holiday season while playing music. There is nothing more traditional or special about the Holidays than listening to Christmas music and getting cozy with a loved one. I am so excited today to be working with Starbucks because I don’t drink coffee every day and I consider it a treat when I go get my favorite drink. To make it even more special the person in front of me today at Starbucks bought my coffee for me! Paying it forward is so important, especially during the Holiday season.

My family always celebrates Christmas on Christmas Eve. We make Oyster Stew for dinner and then open presents by the fireside. After presents are done then we head to midnight mass. After midnight mass is over we come home and have a late night breakfast. My mom always makes a yummy breakfast casserole and we enjoy our gifts, drink coffee or hot cocoa and hang with family by the fire.

I wanted to redo some coasters that I had in my house and give them a little holiday cheer. I used oil based paint pens to decorate over my spray painted coasters. Here is the before.

Here is the after:

I also gave a mug a little makeover with the paint pens! For more details regarding my coffee and hot cocoa gift basket please head on over to the blog!
