The Man Mug

My husband likes his milk.  He REALLY likes his milk.  We are always on the look out for really big cups.  We have a few from Ikea, but I was looking for bigger.

I happened upon these huge glass mugs from Dollar Tree.  For a buck each they were worth a try.  And it was a good thing they were only a dollar because I totally messed up one of them.

I bought a tiny bottle of Armour Etch (which is ridiculously expensive btw) and went to work.  A little tidbit of information, do not follow the instructions on the back of the bottle.  I did not leave it on long enough the first time, so I had to try again.  Sad day.
I labeled one "The Man Mug" and the other "The Chuck Norris".  My husband and I have a little joke about Chuck Norris, so I decided to squeeze that in.
I paired the mugs with cases of his favorite soda.  It was a big hit.  Not to mention easy and cheap.  My kind of gift!
