Valentine's Day is around the corner and this Heart Mug is a great gift idea. It may not be the most romantic, over-the-top gift for your partner or spouse, but at $15.69 it could be a nice addition to a main gift. It also is perfect for teachers, mothers and children because it is pretty and sincere without being romantic or intense.
The Heart Mug is all white, but finds its uniqueness in its design. The natural arc of the mug handle is mirrored by a groove on the cup itself. The resulting image is a heart seated on the side of the mug. In all white, the Heart Mug is simple, elegant and sweet.
The Heart Mug is designed by Reiko Kaneko ceramics and is made of bone china.
