From the outside it’s a lovely soft pink mug. Look in and there’s a small 3D bunny sitting in the bottom, which is a far better reveal than anything printed on the outside could manage.
It gets a reaction every time someone new picks it up, and the owner gets a small moment at the bottom of every cup, which is more entertainment than crockery usually provides.
The bunny shows through clearer liquid, so it works particularly well for tea, and the reveal arrives gradually as the cup empties rather than all at once.
It’s still perfectly good for coffee or hot chocolate — you simply get the surprise at the end rather than throughout, which some people prefer anyway.
The ceramic is substantial enough to hold heat properly, and the soft pink glaze looks considerably more expensive than the price suggests when it’s sitting out on a desk.
It’s a mug, so it will definitely get used, but it’s unusual enough that it doesn’t feel like the safe default option that mugs normally represent as gifts.
It suits tea drinkers, bunny enthusiasts and anyone who appreciates a small bit of whimsy. Strong for Easter, birthdays or a surprise for Mum with no occasion attached.
Worth mentioning when you hand it over that the bunny is in there. It sounds obvious, but a surprising number of people put a new mug straight in a cupboard without looking inside it first.
