This niece mug lets you tease her and tell her you love her in the same line: “Being my niece is really the only gift you need.”

Her name sits above the line, and your name signs it below, under a small heart. Put “Auntie” or “Uncle” in front of your name if that’s what she calls you, or just use your first name.

The joke makes you the present. The truth underneath runs the other way around, and she’ll know it.

It holds 11 oz in glossy ceramic, with NIECE printed in large letters, and it goes in the dishwasher and the microwave. Coffee, tea or hot chocolate all fit, whatever she likes.

Picture her unwrapping it, reading her name and then yours, and laughing out loud. By the next morning, it’s the mug she uses first.

If someone’s giving it with you, add their name to yours with “&”.

It works for a birthday, for Christmas, or for no reason except that you thought of her.
