Comical Sitcom Coffee Cups

The 'Parks and Recreation' Mug Urges You to 'Treat Yo' Self'

— November 26, 2012 — Pop Culture
Those who have adopted the "treat yo' self" saying after watching the comedy skit from the hilarious sitcom will undoubtedly go crazy over the 'Parks and Recreation' mug.

Viewing Donna Meagle and Tom Haverford spend large amounts of money on clothing and accessories, justifying their purchases with the statement treat yo self, probably made you want to spoil yourself as well. Instead of spending all your hard earned cash, indulge in some steamy java in a cup that says it all. The Parks and Recreation mug has Donna and Tom's faces on it as mentors cheering you on. It is hand screen printed by Etsy owner PeachyApricot and made of ceramic composite.

When you sip on your frothy brew, stuffing your face with macaroons and a whole apple pie remember that it is your day. So go ahead and treat yo' self.
