I really wish I inherited my mom’s ability to always have a gift on hand for any recipient on any occasion. Unfortunately, I did not. And we have a birthday party on Saturday! So…I am hoping to get to IKEA this week to buy their DUKTIG 17-piece coffee service set. The white isn’t quite as fanciful as the colorful Tea For Me, Too set that I’m in love with. But I like that it’s made of porcelain, the price is right, and I can get my hands on it right away. I should probably stock up for future birthday gifts while I’m there. Right mom?

$7.99 at IKEA

Update: Thank you IKEA for making this set so much cuter and more colorful (now $9.99)…
