Gift Mug Dad

We’ve always said, there’s nothing quite like a Father’s Day mug that doesn’t get hidden in the back of a cupboard by Easter. This one - our Gift Mug Dad - it’s been moving well for us all year round, not just on special occasions. It’s simple - classic white bone china, which goes anywhere, right - with beautiful gold script and little love hearts that bring out a bit of quiet sentimental charm. If you’re anything like us, your customers might raise an eyebrow at heart-shaped handles or bright blue stripes, but we’ve found that little details like these hearts keep things interesting without putting people off. We have heard a lot of people asking about bigger mugs lately and this one’s 9.5x5x9.5cm, so good for tea or hot chocolate too if coffee isn’t their Dad’s thing. We do advise everyone to hand wash it only since it isn’t microwave or dishwasher safe. The shape and colour just sit really well against darker cabinets - perfect for office kitchens, book nooks at home, you name it. It’s great as an everyday mug, especially for younger kids trying to save up their pocket money to treat someone special. No one looks twice if it’s used in the office either - the gold is more subtle and less shiny than you’d think. And again, there’s something timeless about classic white and gold mugs that we really enjoy seeing around kitchen counters. The feedback we have received so far has been pretty positive from friends and partners who have been gifted this over the last year or so since we stocked these mugs and we’re not surprised honestly (there are very few other options out there with designs like these that aren’t overly childish). And with the whole ‘get your Dad something he’ll use every day’ push during Father’s Day, these mugs become perfect impulse purchases around June. They also look great stacked beside biscuit tins and teddy bears on shelves next to seasonal displays for Mother’s Day or Christmas. We usually recommend hanging onto them for customers who want to get a little something extra alongside a larger purchase - they’re the kind of sentimental gift everyone can get behind. Oh and worth mentioning before I forget - the price point is pretty accessible for most families as well since these don’t feel flimsy despite being lightweight. They hold up really well even after weeks of everyday use - the mug my team has in our break room from March still looks brand new! If you were thinking about giving them a try this year, let us know how they go!
