Surprising Holidays This Week You Need To Celebrate! is officially my new favorite excuse for showing off some the cutest (and sassiest) CupofMood cups, mugs and glasses in the shop.
Who knew the last week of August could pack in so many quirky, delightful holidays? From kissing and crabs (yes, really) to wine and wagging tails, let’s dive in together and toast to each one in style.
August 25 – Kiss and Make Up Day
Ah, love is messy, but Kiss and Make Up Day is the official reminder that sometimes a smooch is better than a grudge.
According to National Today, it’s the day to forgive, forget, and maybe bribe someone with a glass of wine. My pick? The Smoochin Mickey Stemless Wineglass .
Or the Kiss And Tell Stemless Wine Glass.
Both scream romance with a splash of sass. So don’t let this day pass without raising a cheeky toast to making peace (and maybe making out, too).
And speaking of kisses, if you love Hershey’s Kisses check out my blog post, Awesome Hershey’s Kisses Recipes.
August 26 – National Dog Day
I’m sure for dog lovers, every day feels like National Dog Day. But August 26 is the *official* time to spoil the pups.
In fact, it was started to honor rescue dogs and promote adoption. That’s one reason why this holiday is pure joy. According to National Day Calendar, it’s a day to pamper pooches, but let’s be real—dog parents deserve treats too. And by “treats,” I mean caffeine and cocktails.
So, if you’re so inclined to celebrate with a parent treat, here are two that would fit the bill nicely. One is the 3D Black Scottie Dog Mug shown above.
And the Emerson Dog Person Tervis Tumbler.
Two super cute dog themed glasses available in the CupofMood Shop. For more dog themed coffee cups, mugs and glasses, don’t miss the Dog Lovers Collection.
August 27 – Crab Soup Day
Don’t claw your way out of this one—August 27 is Crab Soup Day! Who knew crabs got their own cozy spotlight? National Today confirms it, and yes, I found a recipe so you can slurp in style.
While I haven’t tried it yet, based on the ingredients and the pictures it looks like it’s sure to be delicious.
Moreover, pair your soup with the 3D Destin Florida Crab Mug or the Crustacean Coffee Cup. Soup, seafood, and sass—sign me up.
August 28 – National Red Wine Day
Finally, a holiday that truly gets me. National Red Wine Day is August 28, and honestly, it’s less of a holiday and more of a lifestyle.
Whether you’re a bold Cabernet fan or strictly a Merlot lover. The Love Wine Your With Wineglass – CupofMood and the Borgonovo Aerating Wine Glass – CupofMood are perfect partners for your pour.
Swirl, sip, and pretend you’re in Napa—even if you’re just in your living room.
August 29 – College Colors Day
Ready, set, rah-rah! College Colors Day is the ultimate excuse to rep your alma mater (or just pick a school with the prettiest colors).
Celebrate with the Florida Gators Freezer Mug , the Texas Longhorns Get Hooked Tumbler or the Notre Dame Fighting Irish Glass.
And if you want to see my full lineup, peek at my College Collection – CupofMood. College spirit looks a lot better when you’re sipping something cold out of a frosty mug, trust me.
August 30 – National Beach Day
Sandy toes, salty hair, and a glass in hand—now that’s the way to celebrate National Beach Day! This one’s about honoring beaches, preserving oceans, and enjoying seaside vibes.
You could be toasting the tide with the Hand Painted Beach Scene Martini Glass, the Vintage Hallmark Life’s Beach Mug, or the Better By Sea Wine Glass.
Just pour something tropical, crank up the steel drums playlist, and pretend your backyard sprinkler is the Caribbean. Works every time.
Why These Surprising Holidays Matter
Surprising Holidays This Week You Need To Celebrate! aren’t just silly excuses—they’re little sparks of joy that brighten up the week.
They give us permission to laugh, sip, and remember that life’s too short not to celebrate. Plus, let’s be real: any holiday that pairs perfectly with a new CupofMood is basically made for me.
So go ahead—kiss, sip, cheer, and toast. I’ve got the cups covered. You just bring the fun.
Until next time,
Namaste,
Khadeeja
