A vintage chalkboard christmas teacher mug with hanging string lights and hand-chalked lettering that says what every teacher deserves to hear. Printed on premium ceramic in a warm retro screen-print style, this funny teacher Christmas mug turns the classroom blackboard into a holiday keepsake. The kind of end-of-term gift that actually gets used every single morning, not shoved in a drawer.
Christmas gifts for classroom teachers, teaching assistants, tutors, daycare and preschool staff, substitute teachers, school librarians, principals and coaches. Works for secret santa at school, an end-of-term thank-you from one student, a group gift from the whole class, or a teacher gifting a colleague across the hall. Also a good self-buy for anyone who spends December grading papers with a coffee going cold beside them.

Good quality ceramic and the chalk lettering is crisp and easy to read. Worth knowing the artwork is on one side only, so from the handle side it is plain white. Still a solid gift for the price.
Ordered as a secret santa gift for a colleague and ended up buying a second one for myself. The jingle bell and snowflake doodles are subtle enough that it does not feel over the top festive in January.
My wife runs a preschool and I got this as a stocking gift. She says it is the only teacher mug she has been given that does not look like it came from a bargain bin. The dark board stays properly dark, no washed out grey.
The red chalk TEACHER under the main line with the gold underline is what sold me. It reads warm and funny rather than sarcastic, which matters when you hand something to a teacher in front of the class.
Design is lovely and the string lights across the top are a nice touch. I went with the 11oz and honestly wish I had picked the 15oz, it empties faster than I expected during morning grading.
