5 essential items you need to create the perfect snuggly winter gift box

Posted on by Uggexpress Shop

Winter is a beautiful time of year.

There’s an icy fog clouding every window.

The crisp, cool air gives you three month’s break from the sweat, sunburn and searing heat of the harsh summer sun.

Finally, you can rug up and stay home inside all day without feeling guilty at all.

And we haven’t even mentioned the winter wardrobe.

Jackets, scarves and gloves start to make an appearance on the street.

The ugg boot becomes an outfit staple and, if you’re lucky, a snowflake or two will fall to make the day just a little bit more magical.

Yep, there’s something wonderful and whimsical about a snowy winter’s day… unless you aren’t prepared to brace the cold.

Winter is an absolute nightmare if you’re freezing your fingers off, endlessly shivering and forever counting down the seconds to spring.

Sound like someone you know?

We all have that person in our lives who just cannot deal with the winter chill...

What better way to express your love and appreciation (as well as minor concerns about hypothermia) than with a gift box filled with warm, snuggly items to get them through the cold?

Whether it’s a birthday, anniversary or surprise winter pick-me-up, why not warm your loved one’s heart with a bundle of presents to keep the cool weather at bay.

We’ve done our research and pulled together five perfect items for a toasty warm winter gift box.

Prepare your friends for a long, glamorous winter of life’s simple pleasures, delicious hot beverages and indoor movie marathons!

#1. Winter themed gift: Cadbury Hot Drinking Chocolate

In the middle of winter, nothing warms you up like a steaming, rich hot chocolate.

Trust us - this stuff touches your soul on an icy cold winter’s day.

If you have a loved one’s birthday coming up in the winter months, this gift is a must for any budget.

You can pick up a 400g tin of Cadbury Drinking Chocolate from Woolies for as little as $4.00 or, if you want to go all out, you can purchase a 1.75kg Cafe Blend for $19.99 from Catch.com.au.

Let’s see how much we can drink in one winter, shall we?
