Why give a mug as a Christmas gift? Simply put, mugs are very much a part of our lives. From that early morning coffee to bedtime drink, we use them at home and at work. Mugs connect us to people and to places and can give us comfort.

To present a mug to someone special at Christmas and the holidays, not only embodies the festive custom of giving, but adds a personal touch with meaning. If you need more convincing, have a read of 5 Reasons Why Giving a Mug as a Gift is a Perfect Idea – Jin Designs

Christmas Mug Ideas

A mug at Christmas is a gift that keeps on giving. Mugs have so many alternative uses. Think about that someone special in your life and the best Christmas mug to give to them for the holidays. You can fill the mug with sweets, chocolates, hot chocolate stirrers, even a gift voucher. The lucky recipient of the gift gets to decide how to use their mug.

It can be used for hot beverages of course, keeping pens and pencils in or stationery items such as paper clips and staples. The festive mug can be used at home or in the workplace, and if that special person is a collector of mugs, they will be delighted to add the one you give them to their collection.

Mugs are thoughtful and practical gifts. They are easily wrapped with festive paper, bows and tinsel, and fit neatly into a Christmas stocking.

Look at some other alternative uses for mugs for more inspiration. 

In addition, mugs can be used for mulled wine, a popular seasonal drink in some countries. Because mulled wine is served warm a Christmas mug is a perfect drinking receptacle adding an extra festive touch.

Robin in the Window Mug

For a small bird, the robin is a special part of the winter and Christmas season, although they do visit parks and gardens all year round. Often depicted on gift wrapping paper, and Christmas cards, its vivid red breast is a beacon against a snowy back drop, reflecting warmth and comfort during winter months. As Christmas is during the month of December the depiction of this symbolic bird, seen through a window, is charming.

In Christianity, the robin is regarded as a messenger for renewed hope and renewal. In folklore, when a robin visits you, it means a lost loved one is nearby.

Robin in the Window Mug encapsulates the festive message of hope and joy. It is a perfect gift to give to someone as a reminder of their loved ones and for hope and joy. This is a traditional and touching Christmas message to someone who means a great deal to you.

Reindeer in the Window Mug

In many parts of the world the reindeer has become synonymous with Christmas. The story goes back to the legend of Santa Claus also known as; Saint Nick, Father Christmas, Kris Kringle or Santa, a figure originating in Western Christian culture.

Santa brings gifts on Christmas Eve with the aid of reindeers who pull his sleigh. This mug not only shows a delightful reindeer with its festive red nose, but it is also a gift for someone who treasures childhood memories of waiting for the sound of sleigh bells as the sled flies high above on Christmas Eve.

Reindeer in the Window Mug would make the ideal secret Santa gift for a colleague at work as it is fun and festive. Be sure to see if they remember the names of all the other reindeer. *There is a clue at the end of this blog post!

Made from fine bone china, Reindeer in the Window is part of the Jin Designs Christmas Collection, and it comes in two sizes, standard and large.
