Silver Desk Mug with Strainer
The Silver Desk Mug with Strainer makes a wonderful gift for everyone in your bridal party. Give each member of your wedding party their own Silver Desk Mug engraved especially for them, and the thank-you outlasts the flowers, the suits and the playlist by about twenty years.
Nothing warms you up like a steaming hot cup of coffee or tea. Wrap your hands around the Silver Desk Mug with Strainer and feel the heat resonate through your body. The strainer is the part people fall for: loose leaf goes in, hot water goes over it, and the leaves lift out when the tea is where they like it, so there is no bag tag dangling over the side of a conference call. At 4.5" high and 3.1" across it is a proper mug, not a token one.
Use it at home or at the office. No matter where this Silver Desk Mug with Strainer is found, it will look beautiful and provide years of use. Place it on a shelf next to your other treasured keepsakes or use it every day; it is a gift that can be enjoyed no matter what you serve. Surprise a friend or family member this holiday season by giving them their own Silver Desk Mug with Strainer along with the Holiday Tea Set with Gift Box.
The engraving is what makes it theirs. Two lines of twelve characters are engraved on the front in-house by HansonEllis, which is room for a first name, a pair of initials, a role or a short line that only the two of you understand. Give the newlyweds a set of their own with their new initials engraved on the front for all to see. Offer it as a birthday gift, an anniversary gift, or even a gift to a colleague who lives on tea between meetings.
HansonEllis has been engraving gifts in-house since 1999. Raise your spirits and those of everyone you know by giving them the Silver Desk Mug with Strainer. Add your engraving text above, choose your quantity, and put the kettle on.

Which one should I choose
A desk mug is usually chosen against a plain mug bought off a shelf or a tumbler that travels, and they answer different questions.
| Silver Desk Mug with Strainer | Choose it when the mug lives on a desk or a kitchen shelf and the person drinks loose leaf tea as well as coffee, with their name engraved on the front. |
|---|---|
| A plain unengraved mug | Choose it when it is a stocking filler; it carries no name, so it ends up in the office cupboard with all the others. |
| The Holiday Tea Set with Gift Box | Choose it to go alongside the mug when you want the tea to arrive with it rather than giving the mug empty. |
For a gift that names the person and still gets used every morning, the engraved Silver Desk Mug with Strainer is the safer choice, and the tea set pairs with it.

How big is the Silver Desk Mug with Strainer?

On the front, so the name or initials face out while the mug sits on a desk or a shelf.

Can I see a proof before the mug is engraved?
Yes. Proofs are optional and available on request for a $35-55 service fee per proof, and a proof adds extra days to production. Changes after a proof has been sent carry a $40 minimum updating fee, so check your wording before ordering. Customer Support is at 310-878-9429.
