First Annual SDMB Coffee Mug exchange!

As suggested by Runs with Scissors in the shot glass exchange, I figured we could also do a coffee mug exchange.

I thought it would be a fun way to use a coffee mug to share a little bit about where you’re from or where you’ve been with other dopers.

I’ll set it up the same as the shot glass exchange: a Round Robin exchange (you don’t get a mug from the person you sent one to).

Feel free to include other stuff: chocolate covered espresso beans, a bag of local or specialty coffee, whatever!

Send your name, address, and username to sdmbcoffeemugexchange@gmail.com.

I’ll let it run until January 7, 2013 (so we can get the mugs out that week).

Ready… go!

Love for coffee: Check.

Need for a Coffee Containment Unit: Check

In the giving spirit: Why not?

Curious about what will arrive: Oh yeh.

I’m in.

I’m in.

I’d participate, but I’m a tea-drinker. Le sigh. :wink:

I haven’t sent an email yet, but I’d be interested.

Sure, why not? Email sent.

Wow, I figured there would be a lot more interest in this, what with the way everyone is always talking about how they can’t get by without their morning cuppa…

I would love to join and get a mug, but they break so easily in the shipping I’d be reluctant to. Anyway, I just wanted to post and remind people to package them really, really well!

I’m in.

Email sent.

Dumb question - do I buy a new mug for this, or send one from my extensive personal collection?

Whichever you prefer. If you have a nifty one you think someone would enjoy, go for it! Alternately, if you want to get one that showcases your hometown, that would be fine too.

This sounds fun. I’m in!

Yeah! I want to get mugged!

Wait, that doesn’t sound right…

I don’t drink coffee but I love mugs… count me in!

I’ve got a coffee mug that can only go to one poster.

It’s got a cartoon character of a giraffe on it and in big cartoonish letters it reads “Giraffe”.

If Giraffe wants it; I’d love to give it to him.

I’m in. Off to the tourist shops! Er, where are they?

I’m in! I like the idea if sending one that is unique to my local area. Will have to think about it…

Sending email.

I’m in! Will send e-mail soon.

Now that’s the level of interest I was expecting!

Already, we have:

gregorio
Toucanna
silenus
feppytweed
cmyk
Jools
Shakes
Heart of Dorkness
Lancia
Ellen Cherry
Shoeless

The more, the merrier! Thanks to all who’ve joined so far.

Also me - I sent the email right after I posted to this thread before. LMK if you didn’t get it.

I’ve never had problems getting tea to work properly in a coffee cup…
