About Santa's Magical Sleeping Potion

My grandfather, affectionately known as Gramps, was a magical person. Some of my most vivid and cherished childhood memories are with him and his magic. I remember card tricks, small objects that would disappear and reappear elsewhere, and even that one time he made candy bars rain from the sky. It’s no surprise then, that Santa would share his magical sleeping potion with Gramps.

Each year, all of his grandchildren would take part in the holiday tradition of drinking Santa’s Magical Sleeping Potion. As soon as we drank the hot cocoa, we would feel the magic at work, and promptly go to bed, in spite of the anticipation and excitement that Santa was coming.

This Christmas tradition is one that is near and dear to my heart. It serves as a beautiful reminder of my beloved grandparents and many fun Christmas memories. Gramps was the best kind of grandfather you could hope for. He made the world one of wonder and magic, and I hope this new Christmas tradition does the same for your family.

Merry Christmas!

Who is Alfie the Elf?

I wanted my Christmas mugs to portray fun and family-friendly themes beyond the generic Christmas mugs you find elsewhere.
My sisters and I grew up reading the comic book series ‘Calvin and Hobbes’. I loved the mischievous nature and endearing friendship of the two main characters, Calvin, the little boy and his stuffed animal tiger, Hobbes, and so I based Alfie the Elf and Vixen off these beloved characters of my childhood. Alfie is in honor of my Gramps, whose name was Alfred. Vixen, being the only female on Santa’s sleigh team and the youngest, is Alfie’s best friend.
The duo love their mischievous fun. They enjoy playing funny pranks and coming up with some wild ideas. I can’t wait to see what adventures ensue for them in the future!

About the Owner

Carly was born and raised with her two sisters in Colorado. Growing up, summer vacations were fondly spent visiting her grandparents at the beach in Charleston, South Carolina. After receiving her Bachelor’s Degree in Recreation & Tourism from Colorado State University she promptly moved to that favorite summer vacation spot, ultimately settling in the coastal town of Folly Beach, which she now calls home.

Her passion for travel has taken her over the years on extended trips around the world to include studying abroad in Australia, living in New Zealand, spending a year teaching English in a tiny Georgian village (country, not the state), teaching English in Honduras, backpacking through Southeast Asia, touring Belgium and much of Eastern Europe and hiking the Kerry Way in Ireland. She tries to take a winter surf trip each year to a new destination often in Central America.

In July 2024, Carly and her partner Will welcomed her first child (Will’s second), Bodhi, and so her days are spent loving on her little boy. She also works as the Director of Operations for a local Folly company as well as continuing to further build her two brands, Santa’s Magical Sleeping Potion and Cheeky Mugger.
