Is this a terrible present for a 12 year old ?

A friends daughter is 12 soon and I have bought her a lovely fancy mug with a slogan she will like and was planning to send it with hot chocolate sticks ( the
Ones you melt in ) and some chocolate buttons ( grown up !) .
Is this deeply boring for her age group - do I need to stick a tenner in the mug to redeem myself ?
Advice please I feel old and clueless !!
Thanks

I think she will like it and I have a 12 year old boy and a 15 year old girl if that helps

My 12 year old would be happy with that.

Yeay thanks for reassurance I may parcel it up before anyone tells me otherwise!

Would go down fine with my 12 year old.

Sounds a lovely and very appropriate gift to me

Perfectly nice present.

My nearly 12 year old would love this

I have adult sons and they would both be happy with that and would have been at 12 or as teenagers etc.

I don't think you can go wrong personally.

If it also helps, I've got similar for my great nephews, mugs with their names on and mug puds and hot chocolate and they are 16, 14 and 10.

Most 12yo wouldn't expect a present from mum's friend, so would be pleased...and certainly not expecting cash on top!
My 12yo can't eat milk or white chocolate though, so maybe check with your friend whether to go for milk/dark?

Thanks everyone I have wrapped it all ready to go in the post now. Good to know it’s fairly reliably well received! I was initially confident about the mug and then doubted myself - my DC are younger and would probably still like it overall as gift ! It had a couple of different chocolate types and I know she can eat chocolate so all good .
Thanks all
