If you want a unique, handmade gift to wow that someone special, consider making a romantic night in' kit complete with custom CD, s'mores kit and peppermint spiked hot cocoa. It's a clever way to spice up a blustery winter's night spent indoors, and will make your Valentine appreciate your creative romantic gesture.
Supplies
1 cellophane bag
4 large marshmallows
Small heart-shaped cookie cutter
1 foot in length of red or pink ribbon
1 dark chocolate bar
2 bags of hot cocoa mix
1 tea light candle & a match
1 mini shot bottle of Bailey's Irish Cream
1 Valentine's Day mug
1 CD with custom music mix
1 piece of card stock for the tag
3 pieces of red ribbon (one 6 inches long, two 18 inches long) to tie it all together
Instructions
Use the small heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut heart shapes into each large marshmallow.
Place the heart-shaped marshmallows in the cellophane bag along with the chocolate bar (break into smaller pieces to fit into the bag) and tie off with the short length of red ribbon.
Place the bag with chocolate, marshmallows and graham crackers inside the Valentine's Day mug along with the mini bottle of Bailey's Irish Cream, tea light candle, match and packets of hot cocoa.
Write a sweet little note on the card stock tag, then attach the tag to the handle of the mug with one of the long ribbons.
Use your computer to create a CD playlist featuring your favorite songs together that can be popped in a CD player for a mellow, sensual mood.
Wrap the CD jewel case with the final long length of red ribbon so it matches the mug, and voila! Instant wintery night in' filled with s'mores, spiked cocoa, and romance.
