The sarcastic line is front and centre, so the laugh happens before the glass is even out of the box. If you’ve got someone in mind who’s had one of those weeks, you already know this is right.
It’s relatable rather than mean, which is the line you want to stay on. Everybody has had the day this glass is describing, which is why it lands with practically anyone.
Stemless glasses are considerably harder to knock over and far easier to fit in a dishwasher, which means this one stays in the cupboard rotation instead of being saved for special occasions.
That’s what separates it from the novelty glassware that gets used once and then lives at the back of a shelf. It’s practical enough to earn its place.
It’s also a sensible pour size rather than one of those joke glasses that holds most of a bottle, so it’s usable on an ordinary evening rather than only as a gag.
Drop it into a birthday present, a Christmas hamper or an office gift and it does the heavy lifting on its own. You don’t need to pair it with anything for it to land.
It suits coworkers, work besties, mums, friends and anyone who’s earned an end-of-day reward. Simple, funny and dangerously relatable, which is usually all you need.
If you’re buying for a workplace Kris Kringle, read the room on the wording first. Among friends it’s perfect, and in a more formal office you might prefer to hand it over privately rather than in front of everyone.
