Orange Cat and Plants Mug with Spoon

A chubby orange cat sipping a drink among lush plants looks like it has no intention of answering emails. That is an agreeable desk companion for someone whose two main interests are keeping houseplants alive and showing people pictures of their cat.

The design is printed on both sides, so you do not have to turn the handle a particular way to show off the scene. The 11-ounce capacity keeps the serving modest; anyone who wants a giant morning coffee will need something bigger. It measures 3.82 inches tall and 3.25 inches in diameter. A spoon is included for stirring in sugar, a useful extra if this is headed to an office kitchen.

Plan on gentle handwashing for the ceramic, so this belongs with someone who will take that extra minute at the sink. For a cat-loving coworker who also names their plants, the subject matter does most of the gift-giving work.
