There is nothing like Daylight Savings time and darker evenings and chillier nights to remind you that Winter is coming and so his Holiday Gifting season. Parents often want to give their child’s teacher a nice gift as a thank you for the school year.

This funny mug by Tekoware is microwave and dishwasher safe and is a clever take off of the “tears” drinking-memes in the Internet e.g. drinking the tears of someone who is whining or complaining.
