It’s finally cooling off and I decided to spend an afternoon planting some mums and making Coffee Mug Herb Planters. Well, I’m not really sure if I should use the word “making” but I did transplant the herbs into coffee mugs and they’re still alive after a few days so I call that a huge success.
We have friends who just bought their dream home and I wanted to take them a little housewarming gift. Â I originally wanted to fill tea cups with herbs but I couldn’t find any cute tea cups so I picked up these fun coffee mugs and I actually like them better. Â Their house is new and modern so these mugs will look great in their kitchen or outside on their screened-in porch. Â They could even plant the herbs and use the coffee mugs. Â Either way, I think they turned out cute. Â The hardest part was picking out the herbs to use. Â I originally wanted basil but I couldn’t find any so I chose mint, parsley, and rosemary.
Oh man – I think I need to keep one for myself. Â Aren’t they cute? I’m pretty sure you don’t even need a green thumb to keep these bad boys alive.
Materials needed:
- coffee mugs
- herbs
- potting soil
Directions:
- Fill coffee cups with herbs and potting soil.
It doesn’t get any easier than that! Â Next, I needed to make some cute herb markers. Â Luckily you can smell the mint and rosemary so I don’t need markers right away.
I did learn one thing from this fun gift idea – gardening is pretty refreshing.  It was so nice to be outside enjoying the fresh air.  I had a glass of Snapple® Peach Tea in one hand and a handful of dirt in the other.  Easton was crawling around on the deck playing with his toys.  I had the music blaring while I got my gardening on.  I’m all about the gardening therapy.
Now it’s time to sit back and take a flavorful break with Snapple while I admire my pretty Coffee Mug Herb Planters before I take them to my friend. Â I think I need to make a cute succulent coffee mug garden next.
Oh, and guess what? Â I’ve got a fun tip for you. Â Instead of ice, use frozen peaches to keep your peach tea cool. Â We can’t have watered down Snapple Tea now, can we?!
Head to Walmart and find 64 Oz. Snapple products on Rollback from $1.98 to $1.50. Â This rollback price is only available at Walmart from 8/31-11/30.
How do you like to take flavorful breaks with Snapple?
What a cute idea! These are a great way to re-purpose mugs! Did you have any issues with root-rot/drainage?
