This Mini Gift Idea Is Like a Burr Basket But Even Better (So Useful!)
You’ve probably heard of the boo basket or burr basket trends, which quickly became the internet’s favorite, creative way to package seasonally inspired gifts. These baskets typically feature snacks, blankets, skincare, and makeup products, as well as drinks and other little goodies themed to a certain holiday, all wrapped up in a basket or box of some sort. The “burr mug” is a super similar concept, except all the treats sit inside an item you’ll actually use all of the time: a mug!
What Is a “Burr Mug”?
In a TikTok video, user Zohra (@zohrastacey) puts a slight spin on the viral burr basket by filling holiday-themed mugs with tons of self-care treats. Zohra’s items include sheet masks, skincare serums, travel-size fragrances, lip balm, lip masks, chocolate, and candy canes. But you can also include other adorable items for your friends and family such as holiday M&Ms, hot cocoa bombs, gift cards to their favorite stores, or a pair of fuzzy, festive socks.
5 Cute Mugs to Make Your Own
The mugs featured in the TikTok video are an adorable ceramic pair designed to look like circular gingerbread houses decked out in icing and snowflakes. From a super similar option to a few other wintry coffee (or cocoa) cups, here are some picks so cute you’ll want to make “burr mugs” for all your friends.
