Quick & Easy Hostess or Group Gift

Recently, I attended my sorority Christmas dinner & it was lovely.  We all (9 of us) decided to continue with the tradition of small consumable or practical gifts for each other.  The key being small.  When you have to buy gifts for8  individuals all at once you will want it to be affordable.  
I also think this gift idea would make an excellent hostess gift, so here is what I did in photo narrative:

Used a Mug Rug Panel that I purchased about 2 years ago from Cuppa Cocoa by Dabielle Lenne wilmington prints

My panel had rectangle & square mug rugs on it.  I used only the 8" squares & made 8 of them into a mug rug as shown below:

8 mug rugs layered with batting & backing sewn & turned to the right side & lightly quilted (mostly around the mug motifs)

The mug rugs

back fabric used for all mug rugs

I packaged the mug rugs up into goodie bags with hot chocolate packets, hot chocolate bombs & marshmallows.

My Christmess of packaging up

8 mug rugs, hot chocolate packets, hot chocolate bombs & marshmallows all packaged up

Just an idea but it would make a great hostess gift too for <$5.00 per person.  If you see these panels around on your quilt shop trips, don't overlook them. In my book all fabric is beautiful!
I hope you are enjoying the season of giving! 🎄
