10 Adorable Mugs That Will Make You Smile Every Time You Use Them (Perfect for Your Dorm Room!)

For the BookTok lovers and ardent readers, this novel-themed mug is right on brand. It features pretty illustrations of classic books like Wuthering Heights and Little Woman and is on the larger side at 16 ounces, meaning you can pour a generous cup of tea and curl up in a cozy corner with your book. I almost can’t think of anything better! This one isn’t microwave-safe so just be sure to sip your bev while it’s still hot.

This pink-and-yellow mug has a contrasting dark blue handle and interior, but the cutest part has to be the graphic of a tiny skier sliding down the side outside of the mug. Whether you love winter sports or simply enjoy the aprés ski part of it (think: sipping hot cocoa in a cozy lodge), this 10-ounce mug will make you feel right at home.

This borosilicate glass mug is perfect for especially aesthetically pleasing drinks since you can see right through it, and it’s suitable for both hot and cold beverages. It’s 14 ounces, so it can fit a heavy pour of coffee or extra iced-filled matcha, and it comes in colors like translucent yellow, pink, green, blue, and a classic clear.

If you’ve gotten a cup of bodega coffee in New York City, you’re probably familiar with this mug’s “We Are Happy to Serve You” motif. Rather than disposable paper, though, this one is made of ceramic and is fully dishwasher- and microwave-safe. It doesn’t have a handle, in keeping with the faux paper cup aesthetic, so be sure to pick it up carefully, and prepare to feel like a real New Yorker.

This two-pack of coffee mugs will come in handy for you and your roomie. The clear, striped glass cups each come with their own little stirring spoon and a bamboo lid, which you can use to carry this mug around without liquid sloshing out or simply place it on top between sips to keep the steam inside.

Quit sweating the small stuff with this cool cup emblazoned with a mug-worthy motto: “less regrets, more baguettes.” I love to pair my morning hot tea with a pastry and oatmeal as a way to kick-start my day, and this feels like the perfect mug for the job.

Adorable animal lovers (it’s me), this one’s for you. Take a look at this white-and-yellow striped mug, and you’ll spot two cute bears resting in the crook of the handle and popping out over the top of the rim. The mug comes in three other cute designs, too: a floral print with a cat, ruby with a squirrel and a frog, and yellow with flowers and those same animals.

Though it’s not an official piece of Ralph Lauren merch, this mug dons a dignified and adorable-looking bear wearing a preppy outfit: a red and black scarf, tan trousers, loafers, and a sweater with a picture of himself on it. The rest of the mug is also red-and-black plaid, lending it a wintry look without being overtly connected to the holiday (see: you can use it all year long).

With its perfectly round handle, this hand-painted mug is perfect for storing on a mug tree or hook, and its colorful design is sure to make your morning routine that much brighter. Its simple, rounded look is so whimsical, as are the three bright colorways it comes in: white and green, blue and yellow, and pink and orange. To top it off, it comes with a matching coaster to prevent your homemade latte from leaving a ring on your desk.

Have you ever found yourself wishing you could live in the Stars Hollow utopia of Gilmore Girls? Well, this mug that lets you pretend you're a regular at Luke’s Diner is the next best thing. Jump-start your day with a little caffeine boost and who knows, maybe some of Rory’s studious nature will put you in the headspace to write that paper. It's unclear from the Etsy listing description if this mug is microwave-safe, so be sure to check the all the product details when you receive it.
