{"product_id":"personalised-teacher-off-duty-mug-two-tone","title":"Personalised Teacher Off Duty Mug | Two-Tone 11oz | Teacher's Name \u0026 Year","description":"\u003ch2\u003ePersonalised Teacher Off Duty Mug — Because They've Bloomin' Well Earned It\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere's a very particular kind of exhaustion that only teachers know. The sort that comes from thirty kids, a mountain of marking, three parents' evenings, and roughly four hundred questions about when it's lunch. This mug is for that person.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Teacher Off Duty mug is personalised with their name and — optionally — the year, making it a genuinely thoughtful end of term gift rather than another tin of biscuits that'll be gone by Tuesday. It's the sort of thing that sits on their kitchen worktop all summer and raises a smile every single time they reach for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat Does \"Teacher Off Duty\" Mean?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt's a little badge of honour. A reminder that outside the classroom, they're just a person — one who has absolutely earned the right to switch off, go for a wander, read a novel, or do precisely nothing for six weeks without a single hand going up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdd their name to make it personal. Add the year if you'd like to mark a particular milestone — their first year teaching, their last year before retirement, or simply the year their class finally pushed them to need a mug this good.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAbout the Mug\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo-tone ceramic, 11oz — a proper, satisfying mug. High-gloss white exterior with a gorgeous hand-drawn evergreen forest border, paired with a contrasting coloured interior and handle. The print is crisp, vibrant, and built to last through daily dishwasher cycles without fading or peeling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMicrowave safe too, which matters when you're a teacher who makes a brew and then completely forgets about it because someone needed help with their spellings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEnd of term gifts from a class or individual pupil.\nThank you gifts from parents who genuinely mean it.\nRetirement gifts for a teacher who's given everything.\nNQT survival gifts for someone just starting out.\nHonestly — any teacher, any time of year.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy This Works as a Gift\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePersonalised gifts land differently to generic ones. When a teacher sees their own name on something — especially paired with a message that actually acknowledges what they do — it feels considered. It feels like someone paid attention. And after a full school year, that means more than most people realise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCustomers tell us this one gets displayed proudly on the shelf, not tucked away in a cupboard. That's exactly the point.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare Instructions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDishwasher safe — top rack is best. Or hand wash with warm water and a drop of washing-up liquid. Either way, the forest design and personalisation stay looking brilliant wash after wash.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSize \u0026amp; Dimensions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e11oz capacity (approx. 330ml) — the ideal size for a proper cuppa or coffee. Comfortable C-shaped handle, sturdy ceramic body, and a two-tone finish that looks far more premium than it costs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alley Crafters","offers":[{"title":"Black \/ 11oz","offer_id":54203899871574,"sku":"25896375891565766821","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0829\/9793\/6470\/files\/mrs-wilson-macro-close-up.png?v=1781557033","url":"https:\/\/alleycrafters.com\/products\/personalised-teacher-off-duty-mug-two-tone","provider":"Alley Crafters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
