Description
This off-white stoneware mug comes with its own rectangular plate, a small comfort for a hot drink and a treat. The mug is straight-sided with a neat rounded handle, and on its front a tiny simply drawn heart sits above the words "enjoy the LITTLE things" in fine grey lettering. The plate has a softly waved rim that lifts at the edges, and in one corner a matching heart sits above the words "eat the TREAT". The plate measures 21cm long, 12cm wide and 3cm deep. That gives the mug a steady spot at one end and leaves room at the other for a biscuit, a slice of cake or a square of chocolate.
It suits the moments in the day worth slowing down for: a mid-morning coffee at the kitchen table, a cup of tea on the sofa, or a hot chocolate carried up to bed. The plate keeps the treat and the drink together, so nothing ends up balanced on the arm of a chair. Its plain off-white glaze and grey script sit comfortably with most kitchens and tableware, from crisp white crockery to warmer cream and stone tones. Because the words are gentle rather than tied to any date, it makes a kind little gift to give whenever someone needs reminding to take five minutes for themselves.
Both pieces are made of stoneware with a smooth glazed finish in off-white, and the lettering and hearts are printed in a soft grey. As with any glazed stoneware, we suggest a gentle wash by hand in warm soapy water and a dry with a soft cloth to keep the glaze and print looking fresh. Setting it down gently on hard worktops helps avoid chips. For gifting, tuck a few favourite teabags into the mug or rest a bar of chocolate on the plate, and the words on both pieces will say the rest.

Frequently Asked
What size is the plate?
The rectangular plate measures 21cm long, 12cm wide and 3cm deep. That gives the mug a steady place at one end and room for a biscuit or a small slice of cake at the other.
What is the mug and plate made of?
Both the mug and the plate are stoneware with a smooth glazed finish in off-white, and the hearts and lettering are printed in a soft grey.
What words are printed on it?
The mug reads "enjoy the LITTLE things" beneath a small heart. One corner of the plate reads "eat the TREAT" beneath a matching heart.
How should I look after it?
We suggest a gentle hand wash in warm soapy water and a dry with a soft cloth. This is good practice for keeping glazed stoneware and its print looking fresh.
Does it make a good gift?
Yes. Its gentle wording suits almost any day, and it looks lovely with a few teabags tucked inside the mug or a bar of chocolate resting on the plate.
What colour is it?
Both pieces are off-white, a soft white rather than a bright one, with grey lettering. They sit easily alongside white, cream or stone-coloured tableware.
