I had recently taken a pottery class and successfully made a couple coffee mugs for my husband and I.  Instead of just bringing them home I decided to make an evening by the fire kit.  I used some dried out branches and cut them to the same size (about 15 inches each) and with the use of twine I tied together a rough box.  I then filled this box with pinecones and shredded paper and topped it off with my hand made coffee mugs filled with cocoa mix and a bottle of Baileys.  I placed it in front of the fireplace one evening before he came home from work. He really loved the mugs and we had a great fire starter to ignite our fires!
