[@DamisAlcala]

i just paid $35 at Wal-Mart for 4 mugs like this 😭😭😭💸💸 I'm going to return it and go to Dollar tree.

[@MindlessCrafting]

Yes! Much more economical! :)

[@alexisrose4221]

Why would you buy mugs anywhere but a dollar store hahahah! Anything I can buy at a dollar store I do. No point in spending more money than needed ! lol

[@nanamjbri]

That's a very cute idea ❤️ I love the way it turned out 👍 and very cheap to make but the best thing it doesn't look cheap when it done ❤️

[@corynmay7463]

anyone enjoying the bird?? lol

[@gaile2241]

It's all in the presentation as you have shown. Very nice.

[@MindlessCrafting]

Yes it is!!! Thank you! :)

[@chrisbenevides67]

I've seen these before, but not like these. These are so wonderfully made❤️️. Those little extras that you have added really make them special❤️️ Plus I can see you made them with love. Very sweet! Thank you...Great ideas!

[@IrmaPereira]

Love the idea to give as a present, but I'm going to put hot coco envelopes. Thanks for sharing 🎄🎁🎅

[@MindlessCrafting]

Thanks, Irma!!! That is such a good idea!!! Hugs, Tracey

[@cknowles7402]

I love that also*tfs

[@nancydavis1391]

COCOA GREAT IDEA

[@marilynmcleod9535]

Fantastic idea to make 2 the same. 1 floral & the other with candies. Great single gift as they each match.

[@dongoddess2009]

I would like to say thank you for teaching how to make baskets and how to make bows thank you so much

[@chery619]

I like and appreciate the way you showed and explained all the minor details. For people like me who aren't gifted in the arts and crafts dept, (I can't even tie my shoe laces properly nor make a decent bow) this is so helpful!

[@MindlessCrafting]

Thank you so much! I appreciate you watching. I try to give as many details as possible. Glad my bow tutorial was helpful! Hugs, Tracey

[@susannelson5232]

I just wanted to say this is a very lovely project. I like it much better than a huge, time consuming and expensive candy bouquet. It is affordable yet still classy. You did an amazing job!

[@MindlessCrafting]

Thank you :)

[@divalady25]

This is a very cute 💡 idea!!. I will be making these for the holiday!!!

[@MindlessCrafting]

Thank you! Glad you will be making some! They make great gifts! tow, Tracey

[@lovdolls]

Very nice enjoyed your video, thanks

[@paintedgardenfarm8704]

From one chocoholic to another, I admire your restraint! That's an adorable idea...where do all you crafty people come up with these things? When I'm in Dollar Tree I know there's potential for amazing things...I just don't get the ideas ...so thanks for sharing!!

[@MindlessCrafting]

+Highview Hill Micro Farm You should have seen me before I started recording...lol...So glad you like this idea. I look forward to sharing more. Hugs, Tracey 🎄

[@donnaekay2157]

So pretty! Great idea! TFS! Hugs!

[@anitacarter8060]

Very cute! The dollar store is awesome! And it even as a personal touch… Who would not like to get a mug of chocolate candy !!!come on‼️‼️😁👌🏻

[@joycemerrick6345]

I so want to be you when I grow up ~ lol Honest to goodness you are so smart ~ I love the use of the gold curly ribbon you cut off

[@inspozone4996]

This is such a good, easy gift! Thanks for the vid

[@empressionablyyours8879]

Yes yes yes. Mi keep small boxes and convert them into gift boxes full of goodies. 😊😀 Beautiful gift baskets, Tracy.

[@MindlessCrafting]

Thanks Zoh'eey! Easy gift idea without breaking the bank! :) Hugs, Tracey

[@empressionablyyours8879]

GiftBasketAppeal You're welcome & very true.

[@yvettebarnett6841]

Yes....and those small Xmas plastic storage containers would be great as well. Put paper in according to the color on the outside. I found mine at the dollar tree when they first start putting out Xmas items. Just put the top at the very bottom, two gifts on one

[@Nekitaization]

Hello. I'm new to your channel. What a wonderful idea for coworkers and teachers! I can't wait to get started. Blessings.

[@MindlessCrafting]

+Nekita Burrell Awesomeness! I'm so glad this idea was helpful. Happy Holidays, Tracey

[@craftymommyprissy]

very cute! love how festive it looks. love dollar tree :-)

[@MindlessCrafting]

Thank you and I appreciate you watching! Hugs, Tracey :)

[@melindalipsey6230]

I have been making gift baskets and personalized gifts for years. I mostly use my Mary Kay and coffee products I sell, but always good to find other gift ideas. This would be great for a child and add hot chocolate with the candy.

[@MindlessCrafting]

There's so much you can do with this idea! Happy Holidays! :) Tracey

[@paulatulkens1001]

Nice and easy for a teacher, or anyone. Just a nice thought

[@momentsformoms9467]

Paula Tulkens ooh yes! I heard teachers have too many cups but I love cups I would seriously buy storage cupboards of some kind to keep them in. I’m wanting to be a preschool teacher and an x-Ray tech part time so I would be in cup heaven lol.

[@mjtlop1808]

That's so pretty!! I'm sure the recipient didn't want to unwrap it 😁

[@MindlessCrafting]

Thank you so much! You are so right. The person I gave it to has not opened it...LOL! Hugs, Tracey

[@nitag5999]

Did Y'all Here A Bird 🐤Or Am I That High😏😑😭😂😫😂?!

[@MindlessCrafting]

+Nita G what bird? Lol

[@brookeshawaluk2142]

I did and I thought it was in real life

[@cherylrice4313]

I thought a birdy was in my bedroom!! Great idea! I love candy gifts!!!!

[@dinanuthsookdeo8952]

It’s a blue jay lol

[@danaotwell]

"THAT HIGH"!! lol jk

[@dawnb1715]

Wow!!! I love it!!! I think I need to make 11 of these. I like adding the paper and the gold sparkly ribbon. Great idea! Since all of mine are for men who love my baking I am going to put Christmas cookies in them. The bow still scares me but I do have some time to practice! lol Your little dog sounds cute! Thank you so much Tracey, for sharing your ideas and talents with us. I am going to send you a photo of my wine bottles that I finally finished. (I couldn't find my glue gun lol) Hugs!

[@MindlessCrafting]

I think your bows are fabulous! I don't think you need practice. Just go for it! So glad this helped you come up with ideas. Christmas cookies are a great idea! BTW...hope you found your glue gun! Hugs, Tracey

[@juliewalters1248]

Love this idea. Much cheaper than buying it already made. This makes it much more personal and more appreciated. 🎄🎄☺

[@greencollarworks3082]

Nice gift idea!! In your video you provide detail instructions, thank you. Plus, the lovely bird calls of a local Bluebird, must be springtime when this video was created? LOVED IT.

[@ludycapetillo7394]

thanks for the ideas

[@MindlessCrafting]

You are welcome!!!

[@CynthiaAva]

This is so nice. I'll be using this idea Holiday 2018

[@awesomeskylineally]

Great gift you sound so much like Michelle Obama. Hugs Alli

[@MindlessCrafting]

+awesomeskylineally Awwww! Such a wonderful compliment! Thank you! Hugs, Tracey 🎄❤🎄

[@awesomeskylineally]

You're welcome love your videos.

[@justebania]

so true she really does :)

[@mariedewitt5033]

you know, I ran into Michelle Obama picking up some discounted cards and Fabuloso at the Dollar tree.

[@mariedewitt5033]

I guess it was a departure for Michelle Obama as she usually goes incognito shopping at Target if you look omline,lol.

[@lindawalker9684]

Cute, cute, cute. TFS

[@mrsprude8421]

I love this. I will be making these for church visitors and Christmas gift baskets.

[@MindlessCrafting]

Awesome! They are the perfect gift! :)

[@maribelquirosart]

Love it

[@MindlessCrafting]

Thank you!

[@judyconsilio8853]

Hi, Tracey! I had to come back to this tutorial . . I just love that red mug, and the newer version that looks more like a coffee cup too (and still oversize). I got some more white, red, and now black for the guys. I think this is one of the nicer standard items that D.T. always carries. I'm going to be doing a pack of biscotti with little bag of ground coffee, a tea-themed one with strainer, tea, and honey, and of course this candy one that started it all. I think this was the first video of yours that I discovered last year. This video is an oldie but goodie!!

[@MindlessCrafting]

+Judy Consilio I think I saw those mugs on the last trip to DT. I may have to pick up a few. They would be perfect for my daughter's new place. This video is definitely an oldie but goodie and I appreciate you watching! Hugs, Tracey ❤

[@MindlessCrafting]

+Judy Consilio btw...your ideas are awesome. I may have to look for the black ones.❤

[@bobbithompson7569]

Your poinsettia is gorgeous. U make it look so easy. Second was almost easy. Beautiful-I will keep going. Thank YOU

[@robinroccaforte2038]

Cute gift cup. Will work great as a white elephant gift. Happy birthday, thanks giving. 😀😀😀😀

[@martharoe9881]

This would be a good idea for an assortment of tea bags.

[@elizabethviscusi923]

It's a lot about presentation, and your presentation is very pretty. I don't know anyone who wouldn't like to receive that as a gift. Thanks for sharing & God Bless...

[@FunKREations27]

Beautiful Lady Kre

[@MindlessCrafting]

+Fun KREations Thank you!

[@danielles4288]

I thought of something like this last year. I put a hot chocolate packet, werthers Caramel candy, mints and a coffee k cup. I also made it look fancy

[@agapestephens4712]

eat that candy ⛄🎁

[@Angelita1000]

Super cute!

[@ivelisselaboy4307]

Love it! Thank you. Happy Thanksgiving! God bless you. 💞

[@ludycapetillo7394]

[@mariapatriciachavez214]

🤍🖤💚👍

[@pamvigil1914]

Happy Holidays to you thank you for sharing this this is so cute and inexpensive I love this you gave me an idea for a couple of gifts to give out

[@pampack5892]

great little gifts for teachers and elderly people except change out the content of course for elderly to soap and lotions. TFS

[@debbiemann3074]

When I wrap a gift with cellophane. I use a twist tie first, then I tie with a ribbon. Just a suggestion to make it easier for you.

[@barbaragoss6177]

Greetings from Tasmania Australia love your idea,will certainly try it !

[@DawnGrinage]

Thank a lot for this video I'm going to dollar tree today or Monday

[@MindlessCrafting]

You are so welcome! Happy shopping! :)

[@msbitty777]

I just got done making one of them..it was so easy and I love the way it turned out..I definitely will be making a lot more..thank you so much for this idea :)

[@MindlessCrafting]

+msbitty777 So glad your creation turned out nice! Happy crafting!!!

[@vickiemurray388]

Another great idea! I can't believe I pass these cups up the other day . I will definitely go back and see if they have them . Tfs. Hugs, Vicki 🍁

[@MindlessCrafting]

Thanks, Vickie! I was only able to get one cup! I will be going back to DT as well! Hope you have luck finding them! Hugs, Tracey

[@stormygirl1704]

Cute and economical. 👍🏻🎁

[@ljones1358]

I like this!

[@goreanlady806]

Wouldnt using a twist wrap to secure then use a ribbon make it easier ? Just curious. .😁

[@myrnadoss2705]

Great Idea!! Thanks for sharing!

[@MindlessCrafting]

Thank you so much! Hugs, Tracey

[@silviavasco4665]

Great and cheap. Thank you for this wonderful idea

[@ACozyCasita]

Hi Tracey!! This is such a wonderful idea!! I love it!! Tfs, have a great weekend! Liza :))

[@MindlessCrafting]

Have a wonderful crafty weekend! So glad you like it! tfw, Tracey

[@megpearson2160]

I would make several to keep in my car to give to people I pass that could use a little something for Christmas the year before last I knitted scarfs and hats and gloves wrapped them and gave them to people for Christmas that looked cold of course they thought I was crazy they asked why I said thought they could use a gift

[@MindlessCrafting]

@@megpearson2160 Thank you for your kindness. God Bless You.❤️

[@sparklebox11]

I secure the cell wrap with tape or a rubber band before trying to tie a ribbon on to it. It's not easy tieing a ribbon w one hand 🎀

[@sherrimartin4371]

Love you for sharing. Thank you

[@sharonhall2277]

That design on that mug reminded me of a couple ramekins I have which led me to another thought for a gift. If you're making them up for more than one person you could buy those cake in a mug packets and put one or two in there with a small dollar photo album and instead of photos put in index cards for recipes and start them off with two or three recipes of other meals that you could cook for 1 in that Ramekin.

[@sharonhall2277]

Forgot to say these are all microwavable.

[@amywon4583]

I want make for give my teacher's kids....! love it thanks for the idea you are creative# love it!

[@MindlessCrafting]

+Amy Won You are so welcome! A teacher would love this!❤🎄❤tfw, Tracey

I so love your channel and ideas and also agree that you sound like Michelle Obama, very nice speaking voice :)

[@MindlessCrafting]

[@jeanloposky442]

Very cute ideas, I am going to have to make some for gifts!

[@neka4164]

Good job.very cute.I subscribed.

[@globby4396]

I know you said at the begining of the video that you found that mug at dollar tree and it was the last one but you dont have to go back to the dollar tree to look for it.. the dollar tree has a web site I shop on the website alot..lol for my job and what ever you need especially if your are buying more than one you will find it there and they ship it to your local store for free. Hopes this little hack helps you out.

[@MindlessCrafting]

Thanks for the tip! The cashier gave me a catalog several weeks ago, but I have not used it yet. LOL!!!

[@moniqueewing380]

I know what you mean, I love snickers too.

[@Mylennium666]

What is that bird sound in the background??

[@shantacowan5303]

Sis, you can use the sparkly ribbon to tie, just take the stapler out and it's a long piece and it will tie nicely.

[@MindlessCrafting]

+Shanta Cowan Good idea! It caught me off guard while filming...lol...tfw, Tracey

[@tinamarie321]

Thanks for the different idea to do with coffee mug

[@kathrynmatamala1492]

Yes I heard the birds in the background

[@FlaKNMB]

THANK YOU! My mom is in hospice. She has a health care worker come every day to help her. There are several who come on a rotating basis. I was in Dollar Tree today looking for Christmas gift ideas for them but couldn't come up with anything definitive. This is the perfect solution! Now I just have to find the red soup mugs. Where did you get the embellishment and clear wrap?

[@annebarre5609]

[@MindlessCrafting]

+FlaKNMB Thank you so much for watching! So sorry to hear about your Mom. I think this will be the perfect gift. Everything is from Dollar Tree except for the gift tag. I created the gift tag in another tutorial which is listed in the description above! ❤Hugs, Tracey

[@FlaKNMB]

I'm sorry, Tracey. I did watch more of your videos after this one and saw that you made the tag and the embellishment. I watched two more of your videos this morning and am really enjoying them.

[@marilyntrent3516]

Great demo. What type of bird to have. Seem to hear one on the background.

[@loriluck2145]

I'll go ahead and be the hundredth person to comment on the bird, it's cracking me up. Love the gift mugs btw, super cute 😊

[@robinhunt3838]

How would you fill a beer mug for a man for Christmas?

[@MindlessCrafting]

I would probably go with something like beer nuts, beef jerky, favorite candies and maybe an Amazon Gift Card or Starbucks Gift Card. It just depends on what he likes. I know this is something my husband would love. I hope that helps! :)

[@M567-b7y]

Beautiful,Tracey TY.
