In my opinion, this was the year for mug rugs! What is a mug rug? It is smaller than a placemat, but larger than a coaster. So cute!
I have Mug Rugs as one of my Pinterest boards, and I like to see what other people like. I basically use Pinterest as my "Popularity Board". If others like it, then more than likely the person I make it for will like it as well.
