Christmas Could Be Worse Travel Mug

A Christmas version of our almost-famous Things Could Be Worse travel mug. This porcelain mug is decorated with reminders that there are worse things that an imperfect Christmas. Your new travel companions include pterodactyls, Sasquatch, giant frogs, dubious musicians, walking fish, robots, the grim reaper, quadrupeds, pirates, UFOs, voracious sea monsters, zombie poodle, dinosaurs, a nutcracker, and maniacal snowmen—all decked out with holiday cheer.

Designed to fit in most cup holders and comes with a slosh-resistant plastic lid with a silicone seal.

Holds 18 ounces.

Designed by Don Moyer and initially launched as his 78th Kickstarter project in 2025.

• 18-ounce (532 mL) capacity to the tippy top, 6.5"H (16.5 cm)
• Carry the mug upright. The lid fits snug with a silicone seal and will prevent most irksome sloshes. But lid isn’t fully watertight. So you cannot just toss a full mug into your backpack without dire consequences.
• Not insulated. But thick walls hold heat longer if you pre-heat the mug by filling with hot water for a minute before dumping and then filling with hot coffee or tea. If your beverage gets cold during the journey, consider moving closer to your workplace.
• Porcelain, so no metal or plastic flavors imparted to your beverage. But the mug will probably break when your chauffeur drops it on the driveway or garage floor.
• Red images on white porcelain.
  
• Produced using the in-glaze decoration process. That means the image is slightly melted into the surface like the fine porcelain you see in museums.

• Comes with a description card.

• Made by wizards in China, where they have been producing porcelain for 3,000 years. These wizards do a great job maintaining precise dimension, such as when a lid needs to fit correctly.

Travel Mug:
