12 Alice In Wonderland Mugs

When I was a child, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland was one of my all-time favorite books, and to this day it holds a special place in my heart — and a spot on my bookshelf. I love the magic and whimsy of the book, and I get inspired every single morning when I take a sip from my Alice in Wonderland mug. I hope you will, too.

Alice in Wonderland just happens to be the perfect literary inspiration for mugs. After all, when Alice isn’t falling down rabbit holes or listening to strange poetry, she’s drinking tea. Or at least trying to drink tea — the Mad Hatter and March Hare aren’t exactly the best hosts, as they never seem to get on with their actual party. But as the March Hare says, “it’s always tea time,” and that’s a sentiment that Carroll fans should definitely take to heart.

If you agree that it’s always tea time, and if you can’t get enough Alice in Wonderland, travel down the rabbit hole with these amazing mugs. They pair perfectly with tea, a blanket, and a hardcover copy of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland :
