12 Days of Christmas Stocking Stuffers: Coffee Mugs

Crate & Barrel Every Day Mug ($3)

A few weeks ago, I bought four basic white mugs like the ones above and personalized them using colored Sharpie markers and personalized them using this tutorial.  I am really happy with how they turned out, and I’m not crafty, by any means.  This would be a great gift to give co-workers, or have your kids personalize them and give them to relatives.

If you prefer your mugs pre-decorated, Crate & Barrel has a large selection of mugs from basic to beautiful.  West Elm also has a nice selection of coffee cups, including this sweet gold heart-printed coffee mug, and half of the proceeds from their charity mugs are donated to various non-profits (both are $10).  Nordstrom is carrying these whimsical Magpie alphabet mugs ($16) and these colorful Kate Spade mugs with a message written inside the rim ($20).

As for travel containers, Barney’s is selling these chic and simple Pantone color mugs for $17.  I own this Bodum 15-oz travel mug ($13) and I use it all the time for my morning tea.

    Thanks for the gift and craft inspiration. So far we’ve done mugs and ALSO used the same technique on a solid color round christmas ball ornament. Now to convince my kids that they can do it too!

Beauty Review: Bondi Boost

As I age, I notice many changes in my body. Most are fine. Some are frustrating. Like many women, I lost a lot of hair in my postpartum phase. Being anemic for more than a year after, it didn’t grow back in to its former glory. So I’ve tried any number of shampoos, pills and […]

The Find: Shirts That Don’t Gape

I remember when Rochelle Behrens launched The Shirt — a button-down blouse with anti-gape technology (a patented internal button that keeps the look smooth). The idea seemed brilliant, but at the time, my bust didn’t require an extra button. One baby later, I understand the need for some extra security.
