First Annual SDMB Coffee Mug exchange!

You’re welcome! I took a poll on Twitter and Facebook as to what Tastykakes to send, and it was a tie between Butterscotch Krimpets and Peanut Butter Kandykakes (with virtually no votes for Jelly Krimpets or Crumb Coffee Cake, which are my go-to choices) – so I sent both.

And, yeah, you’d probably be doing your wife a favor not to give her any – “the first one’s free, little girl” and all that. :wink:

The mug has been ready to go to my recipient for a week! ::hangs head in shame:: I will get it out soon, promise! :frowning:

@Atomic Mama: it’s here!!! A sturdy & shiny black mug celebrating the Belfast Co-op. The mints are tasty! Now to Google the BC-O and learn about it. Thanks!

Mug sent today. Heading to PA, so may take a week or two, but it’s coming.

I’ve been out of town, so it was a wonderful surprise to come home to an internationally shipped package. :smiley:

Jools sent a FABULOUS David’s tea mug and multiple samples of tea, as well as tasty goodies. I love the mug- it comes with its own little immersion basket and a lid, and I’m having a great time using it. I’ve been working my way through the jasmine tea, which is deceptively delicious once you get past the strong jasmine smell (it took some convincing, but I finally got the boyfriend to try it, and he was shocked that something that smelled so flowery could taste so good!!).

Thankyou thankyou thankyou!!!

Also, the boyfriend was BLOWN AWAY at what an awesome idea this was. I think he was more excited than all of us put together!! LOL.

Good I’m so glad you like it :slight_smile:

As for the jasmine tea I know what you mean I bought some for myself at the same time but I loved it.

The little goodie I sent you is one of my favorite (so much so you almost didn’t get it)!

But I’m glad you enjoy it and this was a lot of fun!!!

Got my mug and goodies yesterday, feppy! Thanks so much!! :slight_smile:

I keep hoping that mine will show up at my recipient’s house, but I have heard that US-Canada is slower than Canada-US. Is that true? If so, I’m accepting that it’s not yet 3 weeks since I shipped mine out and still hoping it will get there in one piece.

Lsura, mine took right at a week to get from MS to Quebec.

Got here today, thanks! It is a handsome Umpqua Community College mug – since I cover higher ed for a local newspaper, am a big fan of community colleges, and am utterly delighted by the name “Umpqua,” I will definitely add this to the mug rotation.

Thanks!

Thanks to the Michigan Doper (possibly cymk?) who sent me the Lil’ Joe Espresso Caramels. I received them today and they are phenomenal.

So delicious they won’t last long…or the weekend…whichever comes first.

Hey, feppy… I just stupidly accidentally broke the mug you sent me. I’m really sad about it. I don’t think it can be fixed. :frowning:

I got my wonderful mug’n’stuff ages ago (and many thanks again); the mug I sent out reached its destination …

BUT

my SO (acctogo) has not received his; nor do we know if HIS recipient received his!

HELP us out, if you can?

I’ll follow up with everyone unaccounted for today :slight_smile:

fwiw, I PM’d gregorio recently and he confirmed that the mug I sent was received. :slight_smile:

I just received the most fabulous mug ever! Let’s just say it’s orange with feet.
Feet, people.
It’s cuter than you could ever imagine.

Thank you so much cmyk. You went above and beyond and I LOVE it.

Gonna get a picture up of this one tonight.

My apologies for wrongly spelling your name on my post about the delicious toffee caramels you sent.

Yay! You finally received them. Did the items come separately?

Anyhow, glad you liked the caramels and dug the mug too… couldn’t resist on that one, can’t wait to see pics!

“It’s a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don’t keep your feet, there’s no knowing where you might be swept off to.” :slight_smile:

Dude, you have no idea how much she loves that thing. I just got back from a business trip, and showing me the “mug with feet” happened before I even got a “welcome-home” kiss!

Is anyone interested in picking up the slack of a doper who dropped the ball?

I emailed everyone on my list of not-confirmed-as-sent/received and only got one reply back…

Seems only one (maybe 2) dopers got shorted on this.

If anyone has extra coffee goodness (in the form of: a mug!) they’d like to send, good karma would be bestowed upon by all.

Just PM or email sdmbcoffeemugexchange @ gmail . com

So last night I got home from a dinner with friends and ended up doing a happy dance in front of my mailbox, I had received a package. I had pretty much given up on it but YEAH Ellen Cherry sent me a beautiful mug with some Kentucky sweets that I can’t wait to try :slight_smile:

Thank you very very much Ellen Cherry for the gift and the story which I really appreciated.
