CHRISTMAS shopping can feel never-ending, particularly when you reach the smaller, stocking filler stage.
Luckily, Mrs Hinch is on hand with brilliant idea for a small homemade Christmas gift – and not only do they look simple to make, but they also won't cost a bomb.
The cleanfluencer showed her 3.8m followers how to make hot chocolate tubes this week, with bargains from eBay and Home Bargains.
On her Instagram stories she said, "So, I've decided to make by hot chocolate tubes this evening guys, I thought they'd be quite cute.
"I'm going to wing it and see how they come out! You can't beat a homemade gift for Christmas", she added.
Here's how to make them if you fancy getting festive and giving them a go – although you might just end up wanting to keep them for yourself.
Things you'll need:
- Test tubes
- Candy cane
- Wooden spoon
- Self seal bags or cellophane wrap
- String
- Ribbon
Things you'll need for the filling:
- Sugar
- Cocoa powder
- Mini marshmallows
- Chocolate chips
The chocolatey stocking fillers are made by filling a test tube with sugar, cocoa powder, chocolate chips and marshmallows.
The tube can be wrapped up with a candy cane and wooden spoon, in clear plastic wrapping, then tied together with a string or ribbon.
Mrs Hinch said that she'd got her inspiration for the hot chocolate tubes from Pinterest.
She said that she'd bought the test tubes and wooden spoons on eBay – the other bits can be bought at Home Bargains or the local supermarket.
Mrs Hinch said she couldn't believe how many of her fans liked the idea and she was really chuffed with them.
