For someone who is objectively not a morning person, the only thing that gets us up at 8 am is the promise of coffee. And one way we've found to make the start to our day even brighter is with this oh-so-pretty glass cup lined with real flowers.
These are not printed on - they're actual dried flowers placed inside the double-walled borosilicate glass mug - they move around too! We have the same mug at work too, and it never fails to start conversations at the office pantry, with everyone asking where we got it.
We got a pair of 250 ml mugs from Nestasia for Rs 800, although they also come in a larger 350 ml version. The borosilicate glass is sturdy enough to handle hot liquids and gentle handwashing, but don't bang it on the counter or put it in the microwave. Pretty things do need gentler handling, after all.
