Our Common Mug
A few weeks ago I posted about connecting with friends who live far away and my struggle with finding the best way. Amazingly enough my friend Blaine launched his newest project around the same time called Our Common Mug. Sold only in pairs (or more), one handcrafted mug ships directly to you, while the other embarks on a journey to your beloved, along with a special, handwritten note.
I received mine yesterday and loved opening up the package to see the beautiful letterpress coaster. Nestled inside the package was my mug!
I sent my mug to my friend Kellyn who lives in Philly. The sweetest note! Now we can virtually get coffee together until our next visit. I plan to text, email or call her every time I use the mug.
Isn’t it gorgeous? So simple and meaningful.
If you want to sent a mug to a loved one – purchase TODAY in order to receive it by Christmas! They only have a few left!!

1. I LOVE that nail polish color.
2. This idea is so great. I have a group of college friends that are spread out from coast to coast. It is so hard to coordinate a trip that everyone can make. We just got everyone together this November after almost two years! Looking into this as a possible Valentine’s Day gift :)-

Kateri, we’ve actually had a lot of groups of college friends do exactly what you’re talking about! We were talking about doing a big Valentine’s Day promotion, but if things keep going the way they are we may be sold out by Christmas. No plans for another run at this point. Limited edition as they say. :-)

Juliette – Thanks so much! We’re so glad our story is resonating with others. As I told the rest of Ms. Lehman’s lovely followers, we’ve only got a few left in stock.

Done and done. My best friend and I have lived far apart for the last 6 years and I think this is a great new way to be connected. Thanks for sharing!

Hello ladies! Allie, thanks so much for posting and I’m delighted to hear how excited everyone is. We’ve only got a few mugs remaining and today is the last day to guarantee US shipping by Christmas.

Me too! It’d be so great for her to share her thoughts and photos on her blog. And maybe hear the story of your friendship. That would be the BEST!
