The First Sip of the Day Deserves a Better Mug
Share
Coffee Mugs is the Fun & Sassy Gifts collection for the most sacred ten minutes of her day. Every Whatever design comes on a classic mug here, big enough to wrap both hands around and loud enough to say good morning on her behalf, since she is not speaking until the cup is half gone anyway.
Designs that get the morning
Some of these mugs understand her before she is fully awake. Whatever Opens Your Eyes is a pair of dramatic violet eyes with sweeping lashes, which is roughly the goal of the first cup. Whatever Shorts Your Circuit shows a little robot whose head has burst into flames, a very honest portrait of a Monday. Whatever Shuts Your Mouth is a shark with every tooth showing, and it is best placed within view of anyone who tries to chat before eight. Whatever Steams Your Coffee keeps it pretty with a steaming cup framed in autumn leaves and coffee beans.
Breakfast, basically
A few designs are already thinking about food. Whatever P&B's Your Jelly stars two slices of toast smiling at each other, one peanut butter and one jelly, with a little cloud of hearts. Whatever Peels Your Banana has a banana mid-peel and mid-grin. Whatever Quacks Your Duck brings a tiny yellow duckling who looks like he would like to share your toast. And Whatever Sizzles Your Bacon sends a pig chef flipping bacon over open flames, which feels a little complicated, but he seems fine with it.
Mugs for the long afternoon
By the second refill she wants company. Whatever Sings Your Carols gathers three penguins in knit hats, mid-song. Whatever Shiver's Your Timbers bundles a snowman in a plaid scarf and a red cap. Whatever Rocks Your Boat tosses a little boat on a curling wave, and Whatever Ruffles Your Feathers offers a choice: a rainbow bird in full flight or a duck who has clearly just heard some news.
For the woman whose mug is basically a personality
She has a favorite mug and everyone in the house knows not to touch it. She notices when someone gets her a new one, and she will judge it by one standard: does it sound like her. Picture which of these she reaches for first on a slow Sunday, and which one lives on her desk at work to warn the coworkers. Our money is on the flaming robot for Monday.
