I bought two of these after deciding to buy one as a gift for someone. I'd been wanting one of my own for ages and decided to get two after looking for a gift. Both mugs look great! They were packaged very securely, and shipping was super fast. Definitely going to order more from here.

Beautiful colors looks well made. Gave as a gift. She loved it.

Ordered this as a graduation gift. Nicely made, cute mug! Our woman of science loves it!

very handsome well made made a great gift

Got this for a med school grad heading into cardiology - it is a great size, will hold up well, keep the coffee warm, love the graphics. After some fiddling, the top now fits firmly.

Purchased this for someone who will soon be studying to be a neurologist, seemed like the perfect little thing to send her for encouragement.

Super fine holes, stainless steel. Fits the flask perfectly. What else do you need?

Great for use in a lecture theatre if you don't want the noise of unscrewing the standard lid. Just make sure you open it all the way or you'll get a drop of tea/lesser beverage on your nose :).

It's not often you find a tea-themed thermos like this in the US, so I was thrilled when I came across this "Chemistry of Tea" flask. The pictures don't do it justice at all. The slightly raised ink of the design is crisp and gorgeous and the size is excellent. But the optional infuser, because 18oz is too big for a standard tea bag to be strong enough. You want to go for leaf tea with this little beast (with milk, of course). Thoroughly delighted.

It's beautiful. I love it. Makes my day everyday.

I love these mugs! Perfect to nerd out at the office :))

Purchased as lab week gifts. Awesome quality. Received quickly.

I'm an old optical scientist with arthritic hands. So, I have a little trouble grasping such a wine glass with such a broad base. No worries. I will let others use it and I will explain the differences between the band regions!
