A Gift for the Modern Man
summarizeEditor's Summary
I was on a mission to find the perfect gift for my partner on Men's Day without breaking the bank. I browsed through a marketplace and stumbled upon wooden mugs, but they were pretty basic and not very expensive. That's when I found this beautiful ceramic mug that caught my eye. The design is sleek and modern, making it a great addition to any home or office. I was a bit hesitant at first, but I'm glad I took the chance. The gift has already been given, and I'm thrilled with how it turned out. The mug feels premium in my hands, and the price is very reasonable, especially considering the quality of the product. I'd definitely recommend this mug to anyone looking for a great gift.

Hello everyone!
I was on a mission to find the perfect gift for my partner on Men's Day - February 23rd. As women, we often struggle to decide what to get the men in our lives.
I didn't want to break the bank, but I wanted to get something that would show my appreciation. I browsed through a marketplace and stumbled upon wooden mugs, but they were pretty basic and not very expensive. So, I kept searching and eventually found a few more interesting options. I had originally ordered a different one, but the seller cancelled my order after three days, claiming they were out of stock. Then, I found this one and immediately ordered it.
The gift has already been given, and I'm glad I chose this one. I actually gave it to him for a different reason, but I told him it was for Men's Day too.
Product Code: 172297721Price: 2450 rub (it was 2050 rub at the time of purchase)Volume: 600 ml
Packaging
I was a bit worried that the mug might arrive broken or chipped, but the packaging was top-notch. The box was the perfect size for the mug, so it didn't move around inside. Plus, the mug was wrapped in craft paper and a bubble wrap, which was a nice touch.
There was also a postcard with Peter inside. It was a nice surprise - I love those little touches.
Mug Description
This mug is seriously a real man's mug! I don't see myself drinking out of it, haha.
The mug is actually quite heavy, even without any contents. It weighs 600 grams, so with some liquid inside, it'll be over a kilogram! You could even use it as a dumbbell while you drink, I guess.
I have to say, the style of this mug is really unique - it's like something out of a Viking's treasure trove. The vendor even called it a 'Viking's mug', and the vintage vibe is spot on.
The mug's design is seriously cool - it's got these metal-looking strips on top and bottom that are actually made of poly stone. It's a really clever touch.
I was totally convinced that this mug was made of wood - I mean, the exterior looks like it's been hand-carved or something. But nope, it's all poly stone. I was blown away when I read the description after I bought it.
Poly stone is a composite material made from pigments, acrylic resins, aluminum hydroxide, and mineral fillers.
Poly stone is a respectable alternative to expensive natural stone.
The poly stone material itself is actually really durable - it won't crack like wood would. But I'd still be careful not to drop it, just in case. Apparently, it's supposed to be pretty tough, though.
There's a black glossy decal on the bottom of the mug with a pint of beer inside. I'm not sure how long it'll last, though - it looks like it might wear off quickly.
The handle is sturdy and made of poly stone, just like the rest of the mug.
To be honest, it looks like they've designed it with a metal base at the bottom and wood on top. I was actually on the hunt for a gift, and I came across these tiny mugs with teeny-tiny handles that only fit three fingers. The idea is that your thumb goes on top and your pinky goes on the bottom, but I think that's really uncomfortable. I've seen other reviewers agree with me on this. So, I made it a point to look for a mug with a big handle that's easy to hold.Inside, it's made of stainless steel. And get this - it's even got a SUS304 marking, which means that
This grade is part of the 300 austenitic series, with a chromium-nickel composition of 17.5% chromium (Cr) and 8% nickel (Ni). It's corrosion-resistant, indicated by the SUS prefix. The added elements increase the metal's viscosity, its ability to withstand deformation and wear, and its strength. This is one of the most popular types of stainless steel, and it's often formed through forging.
The characteristics of SUS 304 make it suitable for producing the following items:pots, other kitchenware;
liquid and solid containers (including wine materials, beer, and milk);
dairy equipment, sterilizers, pipelines on dairy farms and production facilities;
heat exchangers;
welding hardware, ignition spark plugs, welding electrodes;
medical and household tools;
decorative panels, railings, and trim;
screens for the mining industry;
less often - hardware used in seawater.
Maintenance
My husband was really excited to try out the mug before Valentine's Day. At first, we thought it was a wooden mug, but after washing it, he made sure to dry it thoroughly with a towel. He was being really careful with it, to be honest.
But then we discovered it's actually a synthetic stone, so it's not a big deal if it gets a bit wet on the outside.
My impression of the mug
My husband loved this gift. He's into that sort of theme, and when he drinks from it, he feels like a real Viking!
The mug is great for any liquid, but it's perfect for beer. You can also use it for hot drinks like tea or coffee. However, my husband doesn't use it for everyday cups of tea, so he sticks to his regular ceramic mugs. And yeah, this mug is actually stored separately from the rest of our dishes.
This type of mug would make a great gift for any man
This type of mug would make a great gift for any man, not just on Valentine's Day, but for any occasion. Even if he's not a big beer fan, the unique design alone makes it a great present. You could even use it as a decorative item or it would fit right in with a themed party.
Honestly, if I were a guy, I'd be stoked to receive this as a gift.
I hope this gives you some inspiration for an original gift idea.
Thanks for reading!
