Mama You Are Blooming Lovely Mug

Ceramic Mama mug with a message in gold

A mug to give to a mother, with the word written in gold on pale ceramic. The metallic finish is what separates it from an ordinary printed message mug: you feel it under your fingers, it shifts with the light through the day, and it makes the piece look a good deal more expensive than it is.

It holds 500 ml, breakfast-bowl measure rather than ordinary mug measure. It takes a generous white coffee, an afternoon tea, or Sunday hot chocolate in winter, and it doesn't have you getting up to refill after five minutes. The design is restrained, with no drawings and no long phrases, so it suits a modern kitchen as readily as a traditional one.

When to give it

Mother's Day is the obvious occasion, but it works just as well for a birthday, at Christmas, or on the day a grandchild is born. It is also one of the usual ways of announcing a pregnancy: you hand over the wrapped mug and let the person put it together for themselves. It sits well inside a hamper with speciality coffee, chocolates or a scented candle, and the price leaves room for another detail without stretching the budget.
