2. Dimbleby Ceramics Black Labrador Mug

What a charismatic little lab! His sweet smile and pointy nose makes him the handsome star of this high-quality white fine bone mug, which would be a great present for any friend or family member this year to enjoy that essential steaming mug of hot chocolate/tea/coffee/mulled wine or apple this Christmas.
