Swanky Swigs are small juice glasses that originated in the 1930s. They began as Kraft cheese spread containers. Once people finished the cheese they cleaned out the container and used it as a glass. The popularity of these glasses flourished and more glasses were designed throughout the depression era. Today you can find them at antique stores running between $6-9 dollars each, depending on condition and make. I was introduced to these cute little swigs from Great Rose. She has a collection of them at her home in Hayward. They are so detailed and different. I love them. My mother-in-law have me two of my very own for Christmas this past year.
As Jack begins to learn to drink from a regular cup these Swanky Swigs have come in handy! They are perfect for his little hands and mouth. He does a great job...but we have had several soaked shirts. He is also learning to feed himself. I thought you might enjoy these pictures of him eating oatmeal for breakfast this morning. It took more time to clean him up than it did for him to devour the meal!
