About this design

Every family has a road trip story about Grandpa's shortcut, the one that saved ten minutes on paper and added forty in real life. This design is a loving tribute to that confidence.

A folded three-panel road map with a blue river and green patches carries a dotted orange route that loops back on itself before finally reaching a red-orange X. Below it, a tilted gold rubber-stamp box with a distressed finish reads “GRANDPA” in small capitals and “KNOWS A SHORTCUT” in bold slab letters, with “(ADD 40 MINUTES)” underneath in cream capitals.

The mug fits the gas station coffee stop that happens halfway through the shortcut.

Who it's for

Give it to grandpas, papas and pop-pops who still trust the paper map, or to a dad in training for the role. It works for Father's Day, Grandparents Day, birthdays and Christmas.

About the mug

11 oz glossy ceramic mug with the design printed on both sides, so it shows whichever hand holds it. Dishwasher and microwave safe.

Care

Top-rack dishwasher safe. Hand washing keeps the print bright the longest.
