Black, Red and White Tumbler With Lid and Straw, 20oz Stainless Steel Tumbler, Slim Coffee Mug, Cold Drink Cup

Every family has one relative who treats the holidays like a haunted house, and Uncle Dale had decorated his entire living room to match: black garland, red lights, a fog machine he insisted was for the fireplace. His niece Josie, age thirty-one and tired of sipping from a chipped mug, wanted a cup that would fit right in at his place.

She found one. Skeletons dance across the front in Santa hats, twirling around a Christmas tree, tripping over wrapped gifts and stretching toward a fireplace with Merry Christmas stitched above it, all on a red-to-black glitter background with snow falling over everything like confetti at a very quiet funeral. At the party, her aunt took one look and asked who died. Josie said the dancing skeletons, thank you, and they seemed to be having a better time than anyone in the room. Uncle Dale, who had never once complimented anything, circled the cup twice, squinted at the skeleton by the tree and quietly asked where she had found it.

Here is the moral. Some of us feel merry in the usual way and some of us feel merry in a spooky, sarcastic, black-lipstick kind of way, and both kinds deserve a good cup. This 20oz stainless steel tumbler comes with a lid and a reusable straw, so you can carry the party all over the house without leaving a trail of cocoa. Buy it for the goth cousin, the night-shift nurse or yourself, and enjoy the dance every time you turn it around.

Carry the party wherever the day goes. The black-to-red glitter hides coffee drips on the way to work, and the straw lets you sip through a conference call without looking up from the spreadsheet. Fill it with something dark and strong, like cold brew or black cherry cider, and let the skeletons judge the rest of the room. It sits happily on a nightstand next to a horror paperback, at the edge of a bonfire, or beside a gingerbread house with questionable foundations. Turn it slowly and the whole dance routine plays out around the cup, ending in a tree that someone clearly tried to decorate in the dark.

Your goth cousin Mira will hold it up at the family gathering and announce that she has finally found her people. The night-shift nurse who survives on gas station coffee and spite will take one look at the skeletons and say, that is a Tuesday. And your sister, who insists she loves Christmas but cries at every ornament, will laugh so hard that the straw falls out. Tuck it in a gift bag with black tissue paper and a pack of candy canes, and let the skeletons do the talking at the white elephant swap, where it will be stolen at least twice.
