Father's Day Gift Ideas

We have been talking about what to get our men for Father's Day and finally found something we fell in love with! We went to Mad Potter, paint-your-own pottery studio! It was awesome and sooo much fun! They have so many pieces of pottery to choose from it makes it hard to decide! They have everything from plates, bowls, mugs, cups, plaques, tea pots, flower pots, measuring cups and the list goes on. You pick your piece, pick your paint, stencils, and/or stamps, find a table and start creating!

We were having so much fun and didn't realize we had been in there for over 2 hours!!! Luckily we brought tons of food because we had the boys with us! Let me tell you, that was interesting! We ended up doing coffee mugs with the boys hand prints and #1 Daddy with a few other personalization's. It even came with a nice plastic lid that you can open and close for on the go! So.... for all of that we ended up paying only $16!!! Now that is a great, personalized and inexpensive gift!!! We pick up our finished product after they fire it in the kiln! You really should check it out! They have other cute events throughout the month and have a private room for birthday parties! Soooo adorable and fun for the kids! Thanks Mad Potter!!!!!
