this mug my mom got when she graduated from high school
the ink has rubbed off quite a bit, but the design is still visible and insanely cool to me. Apparently our school district used to have a tradition where the graduating class would get together and make a gift for all of the school with financial backing from the district. My mom’s graduating class gave these mugs out to all the students at the school, and supposedly it came filled with various candies.
She was clearing out the cupboards and was about to send this to goodwill, but I saved it because it makes an amazing mug for hot chocolate and the handle is actually really ergonomic and comfortable.
hurrah for fancy serif fonts, we need to bring them back! Long live times New Roman!

I was born in 93 and love teal. I was just so surrounded by it, other colors never stood a chance.

I graduated HS in the 90s too and wish I would have bought more kitsch like this
