TableTopics

A couple months back I saw a deal on Plum District (love that site) for a deal from a company called TableTopics.  Since I am a big fan of mixing up dinner conversations, and do my own version of table topics every year at Thanksgiving, I thought it looked like a fun product so I bought the deal. Especially since last Thanksgiving I felt like I was running out of questions!

I finally got around to ordering mine this week, and after shopping their website, I discovered so many cute products, I wanted to share them with you!
