Can I use Smugmug's Images on my Blog?

I don't mean MY images--of course I use those on my blog. But, I'm thinking of adding a blog post with ideas for holiday gifts...and boy would it be simple to put some of Smugmug's photos of coffee cups, canvases, mouse pads, etc. on there, as I don't have photos of all of the items. Is it okay to do this, if I give credit to Smugmug within the post?

    I actually came across something giving permission to do this. The post from Andy is here:

    "A photo is like a hamburger. You can get one from McDonalds for $1, one from Chili's for $5, or one from Ruth's Chris for $15. You usually get what you pay for, but don't expect a Ruth's Chris burger at a McDonalds price, if you want that, go cook it yourself." - me
