There is something about giving a mug as a gift that seems so generic. Right? And yet this year for Christmas, both of my sisters got mugs from me. Lame? I don’t think so.
The older of the two (both are younger than me) is a die hard Lionel Richie fan. She is Super Fan Number One. So when I stumbled across a hand-painted Lionel Richie travel mug, I knew my sister had to have it. I’m pretty sure it was a hit.
I was a little sad that the hand-painted Lionel Richie teapot was out of stock. Hello? Is it tea you’re looking for? Hysterical.
My other sister has a thing for men in uniform. I know lots of ladies feel the same, but I think my sister takes it to a new level. Once a bunch of us were hanging out at my parents house and Wonder Boy came over straight from work wearing medical scrubs. Now scrubs aren’t exactly a uniform but pretty close. As soon as we saw him we all collectively agreed it would be bad when my sister spotted him. I don’t know if it really turned out bad, per se, but she was very enthusiastic about his outfit. Anyway, when I saw a I Love Men in Uniform mug posted on Pinterest and immediately bought it.
So now my take on mugs is they are not lame as long as they are awesome.
