Ah yes, the classic historian’s dilemma: you’ve got a mug full of coffee, and somehow it’s still not old enough to be considered a primary source. This ceramic beauty is the perfect companion for grading essays that confidently cite Wikipedia as 'the internet book.' Whether you’re deciphering student handwriting that looks like ancient cuneiform or lecturing on the French Revolution for the fifth time this week, this mug gets it. It won’t judge you for having your third cup before 9 a.m., and it definitely won’t ask if the Civil War was in the 1800s or the 1900s (it’s both, but that’s a lesson for another day). Made for the educator who’s seen it all—and has the lesson plans to prove it—this mug is a subtle nod to your favorite subject and your favorite beverage. It’s also a great way to signal to your colleagues that you’re fun, but only in a historically accurate way. If you know a teacher who could use a little liquid motivation, this is the gift that says, 'I appreciate your dedication, and also, please stop talking about the Ottoman Empire at dinner.'
