Christmas mugs: material, size and care

The mugs here are made of ceramic, porcelain, stoneware, fine china, bone china, glass or earthenware, and one gift set adds a melamine tray, so two mugs of the same size can differ in weight and care. Capacities run from 180 ml on a gift-set mug to over 600 ml on a latte mug, and most hold 300 to 400 ml.

Prices run from £6.95 to £38.99, with a median of £14, and buyers rate the mugs 4.7 out of 5 on average.

Choosing Christmas mugs by size and set

Capacity

A gift-set mug of 180 ml suits a small coffee, 300 to 400 ml is a standard mug for tea or hot chocolate, and a 480 ml breakfast mug or a latte mug of over 600 ml is for large drinks. Some listings give ounces instead of millilitres: 12 fl oz is about 340 ml and 14 fl oz about 400 ml. Single mugs weigh about 280 to 400 g in the listings.

Single mug or set

Sets of 3, 4 and 6 suit a table or a family, and one four-pack holds one of each design. Single mugs are easier to give, because several come in a gift box, with a coaster or on a tray.

Designs

Designs run from snowmen and Christmas trees to reindeer and gingerbread men, with artist-illustrated animal and bird ranges and a toy shop relief pattern. One mug changes colour with the heat, and another is a joke mug sold in a gift box.

Dishwasher and microwave labels

Check both labels. Most ceramic, stoneware and bone china mugs say dishwasher safe, but the double-wall glass mug says hand wash only and not microwave safe.

Mugs as gifts

Several single mugs cost under £10, which fits the budget in our guide to Christmas gifts for teachers, and Christmas gifts for mum has more ideas for the home. Cushion covers, bedding and other home items are in Christmas home decor.
