Description
This stoneware mug marks a 40th birthday with a large gold 40 on the front and the words "making amazing memories one laugh at a time" printed beside it. Next to the number, two illustrated figures raise their arms in celebration, one in a gold patterned top, surrounded by tiny gold stars, hearts and confetti. The mug itself is white with a glossy finish, which lets the gold print catch the light, and the inside is plain white. Look along the top of the handle and there is one more message: "good times ahead". It stands 8.5cm tall, 13cm wide and 12cm deep, with a rounded body that narrows gently towards the rim.
We think it makes a lovely 40th birthday gift, something to hand over on the day that carries on being used long after the party is over. It suits a morning tea or coffee at home, a mid-afternoon cup at the desk or a hot chocolate on a quiet evening, and the cheerful message is a happy reminder of the milestone each time it comes out of the cupboard. Between brews, it would also sit nicely on a kitchen shelf as a keepsake of the celebration, or stand on a desk holding pens and pencils.
The mug is made from stoneware and finished in a smooth, glossy white glaze, with the gold print and illustration on the outside and a plain white inside. As general good practice for printed pieces, we suggest washing it gently by hand in warm soapy water and drying it with a soft cloth, rather than scrubbing over the gold. For a ready made present, tuck a few teabags, a sachet of hot chocolate or some wrapped sweets inside, tie a ribbon round the handle and pair it with a card for the big day.
