FQotD .... do you have a favorite mug?

Yep - just got it. Oval/egg shaped in comparison to straight-sided regular mugs, red with white dots. DS (age 5 1/2) gave it to me for Christmas - the first present he ever picked out for me by himself. (need the :cloud9: here!) He has informed me though that it is only to be used during the winter because the dots are like snow (it IS similar to some snowman mugs we have which are also red with white dots LOL)

Besides that one, my mom gave me a big one last year with a beautiful painted pattern of 4 horses in a stream. It has the words "reflection" down the side. I love that one both because of its large size and (more importantly) the horses. The only thing that would make it better is if the horses were Appaloosas (like my Abner) - beautiful horses in the painting but no Appaloosas.

No... but I do love my starbucks Vancouver mug b/c a friend gave it to me... and it is BIG

I have a few depending on my mood.

I have a double wall glass one that I love because it keeps my drink warm longer, but it doesn't get warm on the outside. My boss bought two of them off the clearance rack for me because she knew that I wanted them. It was sweet.

I love this one for tea because it's big! My brothers girlfriend (who is also a good friend of mine) bought it for me before we moved.

My DH surprised me with a trip out to King Arthur Flour for Christmas last year. Among other things, I purchased this mug. It's my favorite.

Oh dear. I'm going to sound like a sap..

I have a particular mug I use for my morning tea every day. It's pink, purple, blue... baby colors. It says, "NEW MOMMY".

I received it as a gift from dh's sister nearly 20 years ago when I announced my first pregnancy. I was so touched to be thought of as a mommy even though I was merely pregnant.

In the subsequent years, every time I became pregnant I would bring that mug back out and start using it again.

When we packed up the RV for our long trip, dh and I each chose one mug to bring along. That was the one I chose.

I still use it every day.

This is my favorite mug. I use it every single morning for my coffee unless we're not home. It's exactly the right size, and exactly the right shape. I love it. I have other mugs, but I only use them for tea or hot chocolate, which I don't have super often. But the Happy Coffee mug gets used every morning.
