Before You Talk To Me... Don't Chicken Mug | Funny Grumpy Gift

Consider this a public service announcement. A gloriously grumpy cartoon chicken stands front and centre — feathers ruffled, eyes wide and slightly unhinged, red comb askew — radiating the energy of someone who has not yet had their coffee and is not responsible for what happens next. Elegant script above reads “Before you talk to me”, with a firm “… Don’t” below.

For the person who needs a moment before they’re fit for human interaction, or the person who buys gifts for them. A brilliant birthday gift, Christmas gift or Secret Santa for morning grumps, coffee addicts and anyone whose pre-caffeine personality is best described as “bird of prey”. Hand-pressed in our Sussex studio and finished with our 1-Year Print Guarantee — if the print fades or peels under normal use, we’ll replace it. Packed in double-walled smash-proof packaging and dispatched ready to gift.
