Description
This green stoneware mug carries a gold cross wound with a sprig of leaves, set between two lines of words that make it a keepsake as much as a cup. Godfather is written in a flowing white script above the cross, and beneath it, in neat capitals, THANK YOU FOR BEING PART OF MY STORY. The outside is a glossy sage green, the inside and rim a soft cream, and the cross sits slightly raised from the surface so it catches the light. It stands 8.7cm tall, 8.5cm wide and 11.2cm deep, with a rounded handle that leaves room for the fingers and a gently flared base that sits square on the table.
We see it as a thank-you gift for a christening, a confirmation or a communion, the kind of present that marks the day and then stays in daily use long after it. The words on the front say who it is for and why, so it needs little more than a card beside it. On the kitchen shelf or a desk at work, it can become the mug reached for first with the morning tea or coffee, a steady reminder of a role that matters and of the family who are grateful for it.
The mug is made from stoneware, a type of ceramic, and the wording and cross are applied as a decal over the green finish. To keep the print looking its best, we would suggest washing it by hand in warm soapy water and drying it with a soft cloth rather than scrubbing the design. Because the message is already on the mug, it wraps in a box with tissue, and it sits nicely alongside a christening card or an order of service. For a fuller present, fill it with a few favourite teabags, a bar of good chocolate or a small bag of coffee before you wrap it.
