Last Christmas my hubby bought me this gold monogrammed coffee cup. It was the perfect gift for me. The gold/monogram combo is right up my alley. I was so excited about it, but then I realized it wasn't going to be very useful for my morning cup of tea or coffee. As a mom of a toddler, I end up reheating my coffee more times than I can count each morning and if you've ever had a cup like this you know that you can't microwave it. The gold finish will set off a mini fireworks show in your microwave. Not really the way I want to start my day. So I set out to find another use for it.
I settled on using it as a succulent planter and I love it! It's adds a nice touch of greenery to my nightstand.
Check back later this week for a small office update!

Such a pretty cup and you found the perfect solution for it.
So cute! Yeah, I can't microwave my cwonder ones either :) so those are reserved for mornings when Dave is on kid duty ;) I love that you are using it as a planter. xo K
It makes the perfect little planter, love your pretty vignette, too! My husband always says I don't drink my coffee I just re-heat it all day! :)
oh my gosh! i am always reheating coffee, too! so glad you found an amazing use for it- looks perfect as a planter!
Adorable. Seeing gifts from my hubby always gives me warm fuzzies. Love how you used the mug as a planter - beautifully styled with that gorgeous pic of your fam!
Love the cup, I want one. How fabulous is that.
Looks cute! I don't drink coffee, but I love the look of mugs so this might be something I could try with the cute ones.
I can't finish a cup to save my life!! I love it as a planter!
yes, too pretty to be destroyed, you thought of a perfect use for it Bethany!
What a cute little mug.
I never thought of not being able to reheat the gold ones! I have the older black and white one that I was thinking of replacing, but I'm the same as you I can't drink a cup of coffee in one setting! This was a perfect solution!!!
Love this idea and those mugs are too cute!
