Homemade hot chocolate mix is one of our favorite gifts to give friends, teachers and neighbors during the holiday season. It is so simple to make and is always a hit during the winter months. To make gifting even easier we have created these cute hot chocolate printable gift tags!

We have been making this homemade hot cocoa mix all winter long and wanted to find a way to package it up for my sons’ teachers for Christmas this year. These cute printable gift tags paired with a sweet mason jar and bow to top it off was the perfect way to put together an easy DIY Christmas gift this year!
If you are looking for other DIY gift options we always make a huge batch of this simmer pot mix to gift to coworkers and neighbors (and it is always a hit!). We also had fun making this ribbon height ornament for the Christmas tree to capture my 5 year old’s height and little finger prints for years to come.Â
