We would recommend to anyone who likes beautiful cups. This was 1 gift of 4 different Christmas design mugs for a family member and I only know she loves each of the them. She would celebrate Christmas everyday if possible, so with four special mugs, she will celebrate each morning with her selection of coffee or cocoa in one of her favorite cups from now through the New Year at least! 
I have only seen the description of these, but I purchased them because they were both attractive and functional. Microwave and dishwasher safe porcelain are a plus, making them the perfect gift in this instance.
