Description
This cheerful stoneware mug brings a little Christmas humour to the morning cuppa, with a smiling elf at the centre of its white body and the words "Believe in Your Elf" arched around him. The lettering mixes soft green and festive red, and several letters are dressed with tiny Christmas details, including stockings, a Christmas tree and a bauble. The handle and the inside of the mug are a bright, glossy red, which frames the design and gives the whole piece a warm, seasonal look. It stands 9.8cm tall and 8.5cm deep and holds 11oz, a comfortable everyday size for tea, coffee or hot chocolate.
We think it earns its place in the kitchen cupboard from the first week of December, ready for slow weekend breakfasts, mince pies with a pot of tea, or a warming drink after a cold walk. It sits just as happily on a desk at work, where the pun is sure to raise a smile on a grey afternoon. As a Christmas gift it is easy to love: a small, useful present with a kind message, and one that comes back out each year when the decorations go up. Fill it with sweets or a sachet of hot chocolate and it makes a thoughtful little gift.
The mug is made from stoneware with a gloss finish, so the red handle and interior have a smooth, bright sheen. The elf and lettering are printed on the outside of the white body, and the large loop handle leaves room for a comfortable grip. For everyday care, we suggest washing it by hand in warm soapy water and drying it with a soft cloth, which is gentle on the printed design. Set it out with a plate of biscuits on Christmas morning, or give it a spot on an open kitchen shelf through the festive season.
