clubs 〰️
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).
Three pricing tiers available: $100, $200 and $300
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.
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.
