Thrift Store Gift Idea

Do you ever need just a little something to give as a gift for a friend to tell them you are thinking about them, to wish them a speedy recovery or a happy day?  Here's an idea I recently saw on a local TV show.

Take a thrift store cup and saucer (I found these for 50 cents apiece)

Tie onto the handle a some assorted ribbons--these were mostly scraps I'd saved from presents received.

Buy or make a pretty cupcake--I purchased this one from my grocery store for $1.29

Put the cupcake into the cup. 

Add a coordinated paper filler to the saucer.  

I didn't have any pink filler so I just used ribbons.Place the cup on top of the filler.

Add a card. 

Wrap it all in cellophane and give with a smile.  This is just one suggestion for filling the cup.  What other ideas can you think of to use this idea?
