Description
This square ceramic coaster brings a cheeky question to the Christmas table, printed right across its face: are we merry yet? The words run over three lines in chunky, rounded capitals in a deeper orchid pink, set against a soft purple ground with a matt finish. It measures 10cm across each way and half a centimetre thick, so it gives a standard mug or tumbler a generous footprint and sits low and neat beside a plate, a laptop or a pile of Christmas cards. The design is simple and graphic, which is exactly why the joke lands.
We think it suits anyone who meets the festive season with a raised eyebrow and a hot drink in hand. Set it on the coffee table in the living room for long December evenings, beside the kettle in the kitchen, or on a desk at home where the countdown to the holidays is the main topic of conversation. As a Christmas gift it slips easily into a stocking or a hamper, and it takes up almost no room once the decorations come down. The soft purple makes a welcome change from the usual red and green, and it sits happily alongside pastel or modern festive decorations as well as traditional ones.
The coaster is made from ceramic, with the words printed onto its matt surface, giving a firm, flat base for a mug or glass. To keep it looking fresh, wipe it with a damp cloth and dry it straight away, and dust it with a soft dry cloth between uses; we would avoid soaking it or scrubbing at the print. At 10cm square and half a centimetre thick it tucks flat into a drawer when the season is over, ready to come back out next December. For a gift, pair it with a favourite mug or a packet of hot chocolate and let the question do the talking.
