If you’re looking for a special gift for a writer friend or bookworm, grab hold of this mug! (Or maybe you’d like to treat yourself for all your hard work this year.)
Not your ordinary, everyday Hallmark gift shop kind of mug, this Bridgewater Pottery 8 oz. beauty is hand painted and hand decorated in Stoke-on-Trent, England. Each one is unique, and part of a limited edition.
I can attest to the high quality of all Bridgewater products; I’ve been an avid collector of their pieces for years. They are durable, dishwasher and oven safe, and don’t chip easily.
Look what it says on the back:
Along the inside edge, it reads: "Happiness comes in a mug."
"Happiness" is also spelled out along the handle.
The full range of Bridgewater pottery can be found at their website, but for ordering in the U.S., try Joanne Hudson. They ship lickety split fast; I received this mug in less than 24 hours.
Happy Holidays and Happy Shopping!
Aren’t the best gifts those we long for ourselves, often?
Every new picture you posted made me drool.
Thanks for the tip!

O.my.God. Perfect. I’m sending my husband to that link right away, seeing as how he asked me the other day what I’d want for Christmas. That mug is PERFECT.

Perhaps I should send you a bib since you’re doing all this drooling :). Christmas shopping is definitely dangerous. I have a hard time finding things for other people, but I always see lots of stuff I’d like.

Yes, I absolutely thought of you, Jules. Only, to be totally perfect, it would have had to say “And a piece of pie” on the other side.

I don’t drink coffee, but I love this mug. I have a set of Bridgewater mugs with the old holly pattern on it. They are my favorites, and I drink tea in them year round!

I’m not a coffee drinker either and I’m envious of your holly mugs! I don’t have any pieces in that pattern . . . yet :).
Bridgewater also has a Happiness is a Cup of Tea and a New Magazine mug,but I didn’t like the font as well as this one. I also love their line of deskware products — pencil cases, memo pads, etc., but haven’t found a U.S. retailer for them . . . yet :).
