Print the tag & make a gift
We have created a wonderful gift tag that you can easily download and attach to your mug to make this a special gift.
The tag has an adorable picture and inside we have written a poem especially dedicated to Thanksgiving.

• This can be given as an inexpensive and fun favor for a Thanksgiving party, a gift for a favorite relative and friend and a wonderful Thanksgiving centerpiece.  You'll want to make them for your kids.
• If you are a teacher or scout leader this is a terrific gift for the kids to make for their parents and or as part of a community service project- making gifts for those who could use some cheering in their lives.
• "Turkey Soup" is also a very good project to raise money (fund raising) for organizations like the scouts, churches and/or schools.
• Have fun, this is a real cutie!
