Mother’s Day is just around the corner, and while you may think the gift of a coffee mug may not seem very exciting, let me tell you that some of my very favorite gifts have been a uniquely chosen mug from one of my kids that speaks right to my heart and soul. It is something that I pull out of the cupboard every morning and without fail puts a smile on my face.
So rather than spending a lot of time and money searching for extravagant mother’s day gifts, I thought I would round up nine of the very best coffee mugs for mom. Whether you want to send a one of these as a gift suggestion to people in your orbit, pick up a few for you own mom, mother-in-law or best friend, or just pick up a new mug for yourself that is totally up to you.
Of course, you could consider combining a mug with either a coffee subscription like this one from Blue Bottle, or my favorite tea subscription service, Sips by. Or print off a few of these free Mother’s Day Coupons from Happiness is Homemade that can be redeemed for an afternoon coffee or tea date with your favorite person.
