Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a good funny retirement gift under twenty dollars?
A: A printed mug is the reliable answer, because it costs little, gets used constantly and carries a joke without any explanation. It also survives being posted.
Q: Is a short saying better than a long one on a mug?
A: A short line reads from across a room and stays legible at any size, which is why the best mug jokes are three or four words. Long sentences need both sides to breathe.
Q: Can I put this mug in the freezer or use it for cold drinks?
A: Cold drinks are fine, though sudden temperature changes are hard on any ceramic. Going straight from a freezer to a hot liquid is what cracks mugs.
Q: Which size is better as a gift when you cannot ask?
A: The 15 oz is the safer guess for most adults, since somebody who wants less can simply pour less. Coffee drinkers almost never complain about a bigger cup.
Q: Does the handle get hot in the microwave?
A: The handle warms along with the drink, so lifting it out with a cloth is worth doing. There is no metallic trim on it to spark.
Q: Is it worth giving a mug to somebody who already has plenty?
A: Everybody has plenty of mugs and almost nobody has one with their own situation printed on it, which is the one that gets used. The others stay at the back of the cupboard.
