I bought these in winter. I had been using plain white mugs for a long time, but I got bored of them, and I wanted to get some exciting mugs! I also wanted to find some that were big enough to fit in my barista machine, but that were also affordable enough that I wouldn't mind if they broke. I bought one for myself to try them out, and I liked them, so I went to the store with my kids to choose colors and buy a bunch. I'm so happy that my cupboard is now so much cuter♪ The only thing that was a bit of a disappointment was that one of the cups I bought in bulk had a spot where the glaze had bubbled up and the color wasn't even. I'll be more careful next time and check each cup before putting it in the basket. But I still really like them, so I'll be buying more!
