Description
This cream mug carries a few warm words for the man who has always been there: on the front, written in a light, looping hand, it reads "A lucky few have a DAD like you", with "DAD" picked out in capitals and a scatter of little stars and sparkles around the lines. Look inside and there is more. Around the inner wall runs a longer message that begins "You always cheer me up and put a smile on my face" and teases that his dad jokes are questionable before thanking him for being the best role model and friend, and it ends "I love you lots." The back is left plain, and the handle curls neatly at both ends where it meets the mug.
It holds 400ml, a generous size for a proper tea or a big morning coffee, and at 9.8cm tall, 13cm wide and 8.7cm deep it sits comfortably in the hand and on a desk, a kitchen worktop or the bedside table. We think it suits any dad who has played taxi driver, handed out life advice and kept the family laughing. It is a gift that does the talking for you: the words on the outside say it plainly, and the message inside is a little surprise he will spot as he finishes his first cup.
The lettering is printed in a soft charcoal grey that sits quietly against the cream, inside and out, so the mug looks just as good on an open shelf as it does in his hand. To keep the words looking crisp, we would wash it gently by hand in warm soapy water and dry it with a soft cloth. For a gift he will reach for every day, tuck a pouch of his favourite tea or coffee inside, wrap it up and let him find the message for himself.
