Our family has more than one connection to Schaumburg. Matt worked at Friendship Village and his father served there, so I approached the town through people and routines as well as the landmarks in the drawing.

A gift idea with a real place behind it
The family connection in this story makes Woodfield Mall and Schweikher House more than a checklist of landmarks. If you are giving the mug to a relative or an old friend, name the particular memory that brought you to Schaumburg. That note can make a practical gift feel unmistakably theirs.
