**tanookie** may have me then??? I was also curious about e-mailing my muggee and asking what he/she would be interested in…Anyone besides **TMINC** set on it being a surprise? ---

Oh and btw, surprise -until- I get the mug. Then I wanna know. I just don’t wanna know in advance. I’m really rather silly about stuff like that 😉 ---

I’ve bought a shiny new one for my muggee, but it ain’t gonna get to the post office until Friday (tomorrow’s a holiday). Oh, and my muggee won’t know who s/he is until it’s delivered. ---

I went a little loony shopping this morning. My muggee will receive two, yes TWO beverage cups, the lucky person. I figured since one is not a coffee mug, per se, but rather a really cool cup, it doesn’t _quite_ count. Tonight I will probably purchase a few noshes to toss in and the box o’ lurve will be mailed Saturday. ---

I am going to pick up a mug tomorrow, and maybe a few things to go in the box with it. 🙂 ---

> [@hillbilly queen](#): > > I was going to, but my mugee is a boy. The one I was going to send is slightly girliefide. I have a confession to make…the mug I had planned to send was rather feminine, and my muggee’s not…so I sent it anyway, plus another one that was too boring to send all by itself! ---

I went on a scavenger hunt yesterday for a souveneir type mug. Jeeze, they used to be everywhere, but I couldn’t find a single one. I may just send the girlie one, plus I found lots of local yummies to put with it. 🙂 _Hope he’s not diabetic_ ---

Well, I’ve had mine specially made…which is to say that all my owned ones are pretty dull and I don’t want to embarrass myself. :o Well I do have my “Wicked 18” mug but I couldn’t bear to part with it. It’s my caffeine filled sugar honey. 😃 ---

Wow, I didn’t even think about the fact that I only have a few posts. I am very lucky and I _love_ these mugs. There is no way I’d regift them. I really appreciate that you sent two, especially such a well mached set. Did you have to go make a second mug, or were you planning to send two in the first place? Mr. Kangaroo would also like to say thank you. We both really like your mugs. They kind of remind me of home. Arrgggh! I’m rambling. Anyway, thank you again! I can’t wait to see what other people get. ---

I did forget to put on the note that they are not dishwasher safe… sorry! ---

Not dishwasher safe. Got it. I was already assuming they weren’t microwave safe. Is this correct? ---

Parallax and I have coffee in the mugs I made us every day. Ours are white with those same bursts as you have. I really like the sherbert color though. I made my mother purple mugs with white bursts for Christmas. I am the mug queen 🙂 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/doper-coffee-mug-exchange/270700.md?page=5) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/doper-coffee-mug-exchange/270700.md?page=7)
