Every year, I surprise my STP brides and grooms with a Christmas present. In the past they have received gifts like an adventure pack including a book of bucket list adventures with luggage tags and a Carry-On Cocktail kit, blankets to cuddle up in, and cookbooks to create delicious meals together. This year, I wanted to throw it back to one of the first gifts I ever gave and add on a new twist. It’s a favorite of mine and my couples. I STILL get messages years later that my couples still use them.

I’m talking about the monogram coffee mugs and delicious hot cocoa! Because who doesn’t love a little hot chocolate during the holiday season?! This time, each couple received monogramed mugs from Pottery Barn with their first name initials. They also received delicious peppermint and double chocolate hot chocolate from Starbucks. To complete their gifts, I also added my favorite Ghirardelli sea salt chocolates because they are just too good.

All my couples, clients, and friends received my annual Christmas card too!

I mailed or delivered these 23 custom gift sets. I’m so thankful for the United States Postal Service for dealing with all those big deliveries. It has been so fun to receive all the sweet messages of everyone using their mugs. Plus their cats are loving the boxes too! Bringing these amazing people joy is what the holiday season is all about.

While my 2018 couples received these presents, my favorite vendor friends were gifted champagne, wine, or a special relaxing “spa” gift set.

I cannot wait to start working on gifts for next year!
