We had an absolute blast last year with our contemporary Galentines Day Mug Rug Swap, and it's time to host another! Wait, what’s a mug rug you ask? It's like a super-sized coaster and mini-placemat combined, big enough to hold your fave cuppa and a sweet snack.

What's a better way to kick off 2024 than with a modern Galentines Day Mug Rug Swap! Wait, what’s a mug rug you ask? It's like a super-sized coaster and mini-placemat combined, big enough to hold your fave cuppa and a sweet snack. Think of it as a quilted sidekick, also known as a mug mat or snack mat.
