Just because they're the best!

Sending a child to school? Want a little something to give your coworkers? Saying ‘thank you’ to a healthcare worker, mailman, etc.? Or just wanting to show your bestie life is better with them? Pick a Warm Heart mug that best suits the occasion and then it’s time to hit the kitchen – and if baking isn’t your thing, just head to the grocery store and buy some treats, wrap them in a clear bag, tie a ribbon on top, place the bag inside the mug and you’re all set.

If you do like baking, then here are a couple easy recipe ideas that will make your Warm Heart mug the yummiest gift that keeps on giving.
