Description
This red stoneware mug carries a cheerful embossed gingerbread man and a warm Christmas message for a special friend. The little gingerbread figure stands proud of the glaze in soft biscuit tones, with a dark bow tie, a smiling face, rosy cheeks and a neat row of coloured buttons. Beneath him in white lettering are the words 'Special FRIEND Christmas Wishes'. The outside is a bright, glossy festive red, the handle matches, and the inside is a creamy white that shows off your tea or coffee. It stands 8.5cm tall, 11.5cm wide and 8.5cm deep, a comfortable everyday size with a flared base that sits steady on a desk or kitchen table.
We think it makes a thoughtful Christmas gift for a friend, the kind of present that says you thought of them without any fuss. Tuck it in a stocking, add it to a hamper with good tea, hot chocolate or a bag of gingerbread biscuits, or hand it over at a festive get-together with a card. Because the message is printed right on the mug, it does the talking for you. Through December it brings a little seasonal cheer to the morning brew at home. It is as welcome on an office desk, where a friendly face and a kind word go a long way on a grey winter afternoon.
The mug is made from stoneware, a dense ceramic with a smooth glazed finish inside and out. The gingerbread man is raised from the surface, so you can feel his outline under your fingers. To keep the colours and the gingerbread detail looking their best, we suggest washing it by hand in warm soapy water and drying it with a soft cloth. Pair it with a festive tea towel or a box of biscuits and you have a ready-made Christmas present for the friend who always puts the kettle on.
