“B is for Babirusa” Mugs: Perfect for All B-Named Folks!

These charming mugs are not just a tribute to one of the most unique creatures from my kids’ book Uncommon Animals of the Alphabet, but they’re also a great personalised gift for anyone whose name starts with B. Imagine sipping your morning coffee or tea from a mug that feels like it was made just for you.

Here are a few examples to get you started: Barbara, Benjamin, Bianca, Brandon, Bella, and Bruce. These mugs are not only a nod to the Babirusa but also a fun and personalised way to stand out. You’ll never lose your mug at work again with this unique, highly personalised piece of art.

What’s your definition of romantic?

Now, shifting gears a bit, today’s blog prompt asked me to define romance. It got me thinking about my recent efforts to revamp my Patreon page. Hear me out—I’m not saying you should pay for love, but there’s something deeply touching about someone supporting and encouraging you to pursue what you love. It’s a beautiful gesture, and in a way, it can be considered romantic. Not to get all weird on you, but there’s something special about mutual support and encouragement.

For me, true romance is about supporting each other’s passions and dreams, which is why I’m excited to share the new tiers of support on my Patreon. While I reserve my most romantic gestures for my wife, I do believe that helping others do what they love is a form of love itself. It’s a two-way street, and I want to create a space where we can connect and support each other’s creative journeys. Here’s what I’ve come up with so far:

$2 Tier:

None of this is live yet, but I’m eager to hear your feedback. I think these tiers offer a great way to connect with my supporters and show my appreciation for their encouragement and support. It’s all about building a community where we can share our passions and inspire each other.

So, whether you’re excited about getting a personalised “B is for Babirusa” mug or joining me on this new Patreon adventure, I’m grateful for your support. Let’s keep creating, supporting each other, and finding new ways to connect and inspire. Feel free to share your thoughts and ideas in the comments—I’d love to hear from you!
