A blog with a gift shop?

When in BC, Ryan and I began to discuss the possibility of doing something suitably silly for the 5th anniversary of Rotundus (coming up in less than a month). There are a lot of sufficiently ridiculous possibilities out there, but I'm think that coffee mugs may be the way to go:

basic coffee mug

The above mugs can be had relatively cheaply (I'd probably cover the entire cost for a batch of these). On the other hand, much cooler-looking mugs can be found, but they cost around double the price for a minimum order of 12 and it's also more expensive to include multiple colours. What do you think of these different styles of mugs and would you be interesting in chipping in a few bucks? (incidentally, the same site also sells travel mugs if you'd prefer)

One other advantage of these later mugs is size. The first mug which you see an image of is probably 10 - 12 oz, but the later mugs are in the 16 - 18 oz range (although the same place also sells "normal"-sized things and travel mugs). I've been observing that my coffee mugs are generally utilized in order of diminishing size.

Comments

Very nice...I wouldn't mind getting my hands on one of the first ones (as pictured).

I'm not crazy...oh, wait, nevermind.

You're not a fan of the later ones? Or are you thinking along the lines of cheap is better?

...just a foamer. No, I prefer the standard coffee mug...the others just don't do it for me. Come on, I'm cheap, but not that cheap!

I'm not crazy...oh, wait, nevermind.

So, am I the only one who likes big mugs?

Big mugs are good!

FYI: I ordered a batch of the mugs pictured above. Hopefully they'll show up here within the next couple of weeks so that they'll be on time for the occasion and also able to hitch a ride back to BC without me having to fork out a lot of money for postage. Supposedly production time is a day or two, and then they get airmailed from Pennsylvania.

So, a batch of the above-pictured mugs were ordered on Saturday and that order shipped today via airmail from the states. Hopefully it won't take too long to get here (I'm hoping to recruit some family members to deliver a few back to BC)

Sounds doable!
