Happy B-Day Bee-Themed Mug Gift & Motivation-in-a-Mug Gift Ideas

 Hey, everyone! Here are two super easy but beautiful and practical gift ideas for adults (or teens) that could work for nearly anyone. 

The first is a "Motivation in a Mug" gift including a mug with that phrase (I think I got it on sale at Target) or some sort of motivational cup, energy/protein bars, an energy/electrolyte drink packet, treats, and (although it's not really theme-related) a natural lip balm. I get my lip balms from Marshalls where they have a lot of vegan and organic products. 

The second gift is bee-themed (I did it for my mother's birthday), and includes a bee-related mug, a bee dishcloth (I think mine came from Walmart?), honey, and honey lip balm. 

These are just two of many, many mug gift set ideas out there, but hopefully they can provide inspiration for somebody, even for an entirely different theme. 

I hope you find this handy!

Bee-Themed Valentine's Day Party

Hey, everyone! I'm sorry it's been so long! I had an extremely busy spring and early summer semester. There are lots of gifts, tutorials and events I want to catch up on, so to begin with, here's a Valentine's party from way back in February. I wanted a unique party that wasn't red or pink, so I went with a punny "Hap-Bee Valentine's Day" theme. I made up the pun, but I got inspiration from several other bee parties on Pinterest. I wrote "Thanks for bee-ing a great friend!" by the favors. This party was actually a double-pun because the original date was cancelled and it took place after Valentine's Day, so it was "bee-lated". I don't have many photos because I threw this together the day of and I was too busy to take many photos. For party favors, I made hot-glue bees painted with gold nail polish on paper clips. Everyone exchanged valentines, and I will eventually share tutorials for my newest book-themed valentines. This took place at a local park. 

Thanks for visiting! I hope to share more soon!
