Due to the fact that we use them every day, mugs have proven to be an incredibly popular gift option. Having something beautifully decorated to drink can help lift our spirits if we need a pick-me-up, and can brighten our mornings considerably when it comes to that first cup of tea or coffee.

We spend so much time trying to meet the needs of others (whether that means taking care of our families or making sure we do well at work) that it’s nice to treat ourselves once in a while.

So, if your mug collection is looking worn or sparse, it may be time to invest in a new one for that all-important morning cuppa.

You may decide to purchase a unique and special mug for yourself, or you may choose to invest in matching ones for your guests to use as well. Some people even choose to bring their own mug to work so they have something to remind them of their home life to cheer them up during coffee breaks.

Whether you’re looking for that special mug or a whole new set, you can’t go wrong with a cute and quirky design from Anita Jeram. There are several to choose from based on her personal preferences, but the most popular varieties are the ones featuring her infamous Two Bad Mice watercolor drawings.

If you like mice, the Chocoholics design is for you. The beautiful porcelain shows a row of sweet little white mice carrying chocolates, including one on the inside rim of the cup. It is made from the finest bone china with a 300ml capacity making it small enough to fit under most coffee machines. This means that it could be ideal to take to work with you.

An alternative mouse design is the Sugar Mice mug, which shows a group of mice carrying cakes. This cup of tea would make the perfect accompaniment to your afternoon serving and you could even buy a few if you have friends coming over for a visit. Again, it’s a small size cup that you’ll be able to easily fit in your hands and use with most coffee machines.

Anita Jeram also specializes in bunny designs, some of which come with sweet little sayings.

The Some Bunny to Love design is equally charming, showing two kissing rabbits, one holding a carrot. On the back is a sweet bunny nibbling on a carrot. Like all Two Bad Mice mugs, this one comes in a beautiful gift box, so it will feel like a real treat when you open it.

If dogs are your thing, the Laid Back Kind of Guy design is the one for you. It shows a dog sleeping both in the front and in the back, one in an armchair and one in a stirrup. Inside the cup, there is another sleeping pooch spread out that will make you smile every time you put it to your lips.

This gorgeous design is perfect for sleepy afternoons on the sofa with a steaming cup of tea or coffee, and will make the perfect gift for your loved ones. Alternatively, you can buy it for a parent or partner, or buy the entire Anita Jeram collection for when guests come over for tea.
