Holiday Gift Guide: Handmade coffee mugs: $$
What: Handmade, wheel-thrown, kiln-fired pottery coffee mugs from Mug Revolution. They’re extremely durable, resistant to chipping, microwave and dishwasher safe, and you can even get them customized. A popular custom touch? Your pet’s paw print. Really.
For: All those coffee and tea drinkers (and pet lovers) out there.
Price: From $15 to 20, depending on the personalization options. (Not counting shipping.) – $$
Where: Order online through their site. If you’re local, you can contact them to set up a time to stop by their studio to pick up your mug(s) in person.
Trivia: Each 16-ounce mug is kiln-fired at 2,350° F for 10 to 14 hours. Mug Revolution was also featured in a nice write-up in the Bulletin last month.
Seriously, my "most favorite-est" coffee mug, is from Mug Revolution. They have that "just right" shape for keeping your hands (oh yeah, your joe too) warm on a cold Bend morning!
