For anniversary presents, I am always trying to think outside the box. Most of the time, I try to give ‘experiences’ – things we can do together to make memories in lieu of a gift. But this past year, I opted to do both. A small token gift, to match with the biking date nights that my husband and I like to do together so often.
Enter – the custom bike cup holder. These bike coozies are super cute – and make our date nights that much more special :). We get to bike together down the boardwalk, with our little matching Mr. & Mrs. bike cup holders – and feel totally adorable. Lol, well, at least I do.
And I have to admit – everyone seemed to love them. The amount of people that stopped us to ask about them, or pointed them out as we were biking along, was truly incredible. So if anyone wants to start a small Etsy shop selling custom bike coozies, I daresay you will have a nice little stream of income. They make the perfect anniversary or wedding gift!
