The first time my family went to Disney World in 2001, my mom bought a bag of Mickey Mouse pretzels to snack on. For whatever reason, she never actually got a chance to snack on it. 15 years later, the bag still remains unopened. The only difference now is that it’s sitting in our china cabinet next to photos from our trip. Gross, I know.

My brother came back from Disney World last night and brought back the perfect gift for my mom.. a new, fresh bag of not-yet-expired pretzels, which my mom promptly put right next to her 15 year old pretzels in the china cabinet.

And what did my brother get me? Only the cutest damn mugs I ever did see!


He and his girlfriend know how much I LOVE cups and mugs so they knew I’d love this set. It even matches the 3D model Peter made me awhile back!


I need to step up my gift-giving game.
