Not only can these creative cups make your morning at least somewhat nicer, but they are always a great gift idea for a friend.

Your morning blues will fade away at the sight of this adorable, monochrome mug and saucer set! Without its matching mug, this petite panda plate wears a frown. But finish your final sip and set this ceramic mug in its place, and this bear will instantly beam with a satisfied smile and lick of its lips.

Dutch illustrator Esther Horchner brought life back to a plain porcelain tea set by hand-painting girls inside cups and teapots. The girls are swimming, chilling, and getting comfortable in the interiors.
