Description
This stoneware mug says what so many grandchildren mean to say, with Grandad written in flowing green script and a warm message set around it in black typewriter-style lettering. The words run right round the white body, opening with "I just wanted to say, you are pretty special to me" and touching on the best life advice, being humble and kind, and all those 'back in my day' stories, before closing with "an all round good egg. Love you." It has a low, tapered shape, wider at the base and narrowing towards the rim, with a rounded handle, and stands 9cm tall, 13cm wide and 8.5cm deep, compact enough for a crowded side table.
It belongs wherever Grandad settles down with his morning tea or coffee, on the kitchen table, beside his favourite armchair or on the desk where he reads the paper. We think it makes a thoughtful Father's Day gift for a grandfather. Because the message is written in a grandchild's own voice, it suits a present chosen by the grandchildren, perhaps handed over with a card they have written themselves. It is also a lovely way to say thank you when words feel hard to find, since the mug says them for you, from the life advice to the stories he never tires of telling.
The mug is made from stoneware, with the name picked out in green and the rest of the message printed in black against the white. A gentle hand wash in warm soapy water, then a dry with a soft cloth, is good general practice for stoneware and helps keep printed lettering looking crisp. To make the moment, fill it with his favourite brew before you hand it over, or wrap it up with a packet of the biscuits the message cheekily hopes he will keep giving.
