Description
This stoneware mug says what every tired dad is thinking before the kettle has even boiled. Bold black capitals across the white body read "FUCKING EXHAUSTED", a blunt two-word confession for the mornings that come round far too soon. The inside and the handle are black as well, so the lettering ties in neatly with the dark rim you see each time you lift it, and the whole mug carries a glossy finish. It holds 11oz, a proper full cup of tea or coffee, and stands 10cm tall, 11.5cm wide and 8.5cm deep, a comfortable everyday size that sits easily in the cupboard with the rest of your mugs.
We see this as a gift for dads with a dry sense of humour, and it makes a cheeky Father's Day present for the one who has done the night feeds, the school runs and the weekend lifts without complaint, or at least without much. It sits as happily on a desk at work as it does on the kitchen side at home, though with that wording it suits a workplace where the joke is shared. As the slogan uses strong language, it is best kept for grown-ups who will laugh at it rather than wince.
Made from stoneware with a gloss glaze, it has a rounded loop handle with room for your fingers and a straight-sided body that sits flat on the table. To keep the white body bright, rinse it soon after use, wash it gently in warm soapy water and dry it with a soft cloth. For Father's Day, fill it with his favourite tea bags or a bag of ground coffee before you wrap it, and the words on the side will do the rest of the talking.
