I recently received an adorable birth announcement from a friend. It’s one I may never have considered myself but now I have it, I will use it every single day. The ceramic mug birth announcement was and still is a good idea. Mugs are practical, children are beautiful; the combination is obvious.

For my darling nieces first Christmas on this planet I painted them both their own custom toy boxes with their names dominantly displayed.
