I love giving gifts. In fact I'm pretty sure that giving and receiving gifts is my love language! Sometimes when I'm stumped about what to give someone and don't have a lot of money to spend, these amazing mugs from Cost Plus World Market have saved the day! The price is unbelievable: just $14.99 for the jumbo version of these mugs, $9.99 for the smaller version (available in the store). They are also available in espresso cups with saucers. All versions include the rack and six mugs! The jumbo mugs are very versatile ... they can be used as small bowls for serving, late night cereal snacking, soup, and yes, that huge cup of coffee that you need to get through Sesame Street. They are dishwasher and microwave safe, only take up a little space on the counter or in the cabinet, transfer easily to the table for breakfast or brunch, I could go on and on. We have set of the jumbo stackers in white and they are in constant rotation.

This is one of my "secrets" people. Don't be surprised if you get this from me at your next birthday party or wedding shower or find yourself scooping salsa out of one when you come to my house to play Wii!
What's your go-to, in a pinch gift?
i gave some of these stacking mugs to a friend for his birthday (they were multi colored). they're awesome and so convenient.
