Who Wants a Commercial Lights Mug?
Posted in collectibles on 05/19/2010 02:58 pm by adminI’ve got a friend who is looking for a gift for his father’s birthday next month. He had me sit with him while he went online and tried in vain to find something his dad would like. After about 30 minutes of watching him jump from site to site, I finally asked, “What does your dad do for a living?”
“Well, he’s retired, but he used to be an electrician.”
“Then try this. Get him a commemorative coffe or beer mug with the phrase ‘You light up my life’ and a picture of some commercial lights above it.”
“He won’t like that.”
“Why not? If he has a somewhat decent sense of humor, he’ll find it funny. And there are plenty of places where you can buy a blank mug and customize it with anything you like.”
“I don’t know…”
“Well, you’re sure not making any headway doing it this way. Look, order the mug and then look for something else. If you don’t find anything, at least you have the mug to give him at the birthday party.”
Well, my friend hasn’t acted on my wonderful idea yet, and his father’s birthday is fast approaching. I just hope my friend avoids the commemorative pen and pencil set.
I have had a crush on these shoes since the first time I saw them. Not only are they super cute with a pair of jeans for weekend rowdiness, but they’re made of recycled tires and organic cotton to boot. Great for teens & eco-conscious alike.
A wonderful gift that celebrates a new couple’s future and a golden couple’s past, this book will become a treasured part of a family’s history.
