Gift in a Cup - Fall

Last Saturday was the first day of Fall and it feels like the weather got the memo! It has gotten suddenly chilly outside and since I'm still fighting and putting off turning on the heater, our house is a bit chilly as well. Seriously though, for the first time this year since being pregnant, my feet were cold. Sooo... I guess I can finally be one of those crazy ladies that thinks they can tell the weather by how their feet or knees feel that day. Haha!

With Fall here, I'm getting more excited for the season than I usually am. It's probably because the snow's not here yet, but for some reason I'm feeling extra festive right now. I'm already thinking about all the fall treats I can make and getting excited for hot cocoa with a blanket and a book or movie after the kids have gone to bed! Maybe that's the real reason I'm excited for it... So I can drink hot chocolate without having to share for once. Haha!

So, with all my random Fall excitement this year, I thought it would be fitting to continue my "gift in a cup" idea with this next season (like I've done for Spring and Summer this year).

In this cup, I thought it would be fun to add ingredients for s'mores and two packs of apple cider mix. A few other things you could put in an Autumn inspired cup would be caramel corn (mmm, thinking about the treats again...), a pair of gloves, pumpkin cookies (or chocolate chips in the cup with a mix for the cookies on the side), a gourmet caramel apple (if the cup is big enough), or a Fall scented candle like pumpkin spice, or apple cinnamon.

There are so many options for this gift and so many different ways it could go! Now, the only challenge is actually giving it away and not eating the s'mores myself... Haha!
