Let's have a nice cuppa tea

Anyone who knows me, knows how much I love a good cup of tea. And somehow I have quite a reputation for being fussy about it - ridiculous! I just don’t like much milk!

Anyway - a mug is always a brilliant present for yourself or anyone else who also loves tea (or, at a push, I suppose coffee drinkers too haha ;)

The mug is important too - the mug you have your tea in really makes a difference to the enjoyment of the tea! OK so hear me out with this - different mugs are ‘right’ for different times of day. Some are just the ticket for that first, all-important cup of the day. Personal preference counts for a lot - some people prefer thin china mugs, and I do get that - I don’t like a thick mug, I must say. And I don’t like a huge mug either - the tea gets too cold!

So my mug designs - these mugs are printed to order by Teemill. There’s no waste and no excess stock - far better for the environment. What’s the mug itself like? I would call these a ‘normal’ mug (sounds vague, but I’ll explain!) - straight shape, standard size, no frills, and a medium thickness - not a thin bone china mug but not a thick chunky one either. It’s a great daytime all-rounder, I’d say - the workhorse of the mug cupboard!

Oh - and they’re dishwasher safe. Ain’t nobody got time for yet more washing up.

My mugs are a retro illustrated range with a splash of sarcasm, designed to highlight the mental and physical load carried by women and mums in the home. They are humorous designs with a knowing wink for women everywhere - every single working woman and/or mum will ‘get’ these.

Buy them here on my homeware page.

  • A mum with young kids and babies at home? Her ‘hobbies’ are weightlifting and juggling. All day long.

  • A woman working from home? We know that working from home means we’ll get a load of washing on, get the dishwasher done, feed the cat, pick up stuff left around the house - working from home never only means paid-job-working.

  • A busy working mum? Yep we’ll gladly smash a glass ceiling at work - but right after we’ve made the kids’ tea (cos they gotta eat - all the time!)

  • And the laundry fairy, whose treadmill of washing clothes, sheets, towels etc literally never ends - she’d smash a glass ceiling if only she didn’t have a washing basket in each hand! (I think of this one EVERY time I’m lugging huge baskets of washing to and from bedrooms and the washing machine - which is basically every. single. day.)

I hope you enjoy these - I guarantee they will raise a smile from any woman you know. I send them to the sisterhood with a fist bump and a supportive ‘I get it’.

Treat yourself to a sarcastic cuppa
