So my dad is a creature of habit and he has been using THE SAME coffee mugs for years. He swears his thermos coffee mugs are the best and nothing else keeps his coffee warm. After at least 15 years of use, his mugs really need to be replaced. (just ugh...) A few years ago I tried to find some on ebay to surprise him with at Christmas but didn't find anything. However, tonight I thought I'd look again and found some on Etsy! :thumbup: They don't "match" his usual mugs, but I don't think he'll care. I can't wait to see him open them on Christmas!!!!

Here they are:

Isn't Etsy the best? I found a really old Christmas book that my mom used to read to my sister and I as girls. Not only found it at Etsy, but also found someone who will bind it into a journal, which I'll give my sister. Along with a promise of the gift of a spot in Journal Your Christmas next year.
