~ Birthday Club ~

This club is cousins with mug club. The genes they share: what arrives is a surprise that I have concocted.

How it’s different: What I make you will depend on YOU. I will send you a questionnaire so that I can craft the right thing for you. Again, it will be a surprise, but you will have say in what it might or might not be. Questionnaire includes the ability to say like hey, no mugs please. Or: I’d love something for my wall…

Questionnaire will also include when the gift needs to arrive by. Buy this for yourself (obsessed). Buy this for a friend or family member (incredible). Buy this for yourself when you’re still under general anesthesia from wisdom tooth removal and immediately forget (king shit).

Four pricing tiers available: $75, $100, $200 and $300

~ Mug Club ~

Commit now to one, two, or three editions of Mug Club over the course of 2025. Each one will be totally unique and a complete surprise.

My favorite part is trying to craft the best box you open all year with themed packaging / bonus items.

Some past editions:

• McDonald’s Hammy Meal mugs in a Hammy Meal box and each one came with a Hammy Meal toy, a mini Beanie Baby platypus.

• Self Care Bears mugs encased in about 2 lbs of bath bomb so that the mugs were hidden until submerged in water.

• Amphora mugs hidden in playdirt

• Matrioshka nesting doll mugs

• Seafood Tower mugs

Each installment is $75 per mug, plus $11 shipping.

~Custom Mug~

This is a custom speckled stoneware mug you design and I paint. Mugs will hold 12 - 14 ounces.

FAQ:

Mugs are made to order, expect it to take 6-8 weeks.

You send me your request via email (hamcouncilpdx@gmail.com). It could be specific (you send a picture) or general “i like frogs.” Whatever you want. I will try my hardest, but I won’t be sending you drafts for review. You have to trust me.

For examples, here are some of last years
