Neighbor Christmas Gift: Got Milk?
Gift this darling mug of Oreos and a cookie straw in a mug with a Got Milk? free printable to your neighbors, family, and friends this year.
I grew up with the Got Milk? ads, most who are over 30 remember them quite well. Even if a person doesn’t remember the ads, this is a darling and fun neighbor gift to receive.
It comes with a free printable, which is of course optional that has milk and Oreo cookies and says, “Got Milk?” in a splash of milk in the corner.
In the supply list, I link to the image you can print off a single per page or multiple per page—whatever you need.
These gifts are not only cute, but they are also yummy.
These neighbor gifts can be assembled in a few minutes each and cost less than $2.00—see the cost breakdown below.I would love to get a neighbor gift like this. It would bring a smile to my face.
Plus, the mug is reusable which is awesome.
This Got Milk? gift only requires a few supplies.

Double Stuf Oreo cookies x 8 Target often has sales on Oreos. I got mine on sale 2 for $10 double stuffed party size plus, I used a 10% off coupon on top of my 5% off red card discount= $4.28 a pack. You may not always have access to a 10% off entire grocery order coupon though, so we will go with the standard $5.00 sale price with 5% off Red card price. $4.75 a package at 52 a pack= .09 a cookie x 8 = .72 for each gift

Continue reading and/or watch the video for a visual demonstration of assembly.
1- Place a cookie baton or milk straw in a mug of milk.
2- Stack 7-8 Oreos (double stuffed) into the mug next to the cookie straw. Depending on the mug you use, you may require more or less.
3- Using a long roll of cellophane, wrap the mug making sure that the cookie straw and Oreos are visible. For a nice presentation, do not cover the Oreo cookies and straw up with a big bunch of cellophane, that should go behind them for good visibility.
4- Tie with a red velvet ribbon.
5- Print the free printable and cut it out. Hole punch a hole into the side and feed the ribbon through it to tie it on. Tips- Tie the paper on loosely with the ribbon so the paper doesn’t rip AND position the Got Milk? printable a little to the side so that you can see the cookies.
That’s it. I love this gift and think it is cute!
