The Hibernation Kit

A large ceramic mug, a pair of fluffy socks and a satin eye mask. Which is, when you think about it, the entire equipment list for writing off an evening properly.

The mug is 500ml, so it is a two-teabags-if-you-like mug rather than a polite one. The socks are the thick sort. The eye mask is for whoever falls asleep on the sofa at nine and denies it.

Why we love it

• Three things that actually get used, rather than three things that look nice
• A proper big mug — 500ml, dishwasher and microwave safe
• Arrives as a set, so it gives well without wrapping
• The gift for someone who says they do not want anything

Lovely for

• Secret Santa, where it will be the one people want
• A student, a nurse, anyone on their feet all day
• The first properly cold week of the year
• Someone recovering from something
