For your monito or monita: something they will still be using in January, not leaving in a drawer.
The short answer. Every handmade mug in the AWIS house line is under ₱1,000: Juan ₱650, Briseo ₱700, Duke ₱800, Amado ₱850, Floresca ₱900. Boxed and tied with a ribbon, Juan is ₱800, Briseo ₱850 and Duke ₱950.
An exchange gift has two jobs. It has to stay inside the budget, and it has to still be wanted once the party is over. A mug is used every day, and a handmade one does not look like it came from the same aisle as everyone else's.
Every piece is high fired stoneware, made by hand in the Philippines. Each note gives the price boxed and tied with a ribbon.

Giving to everyone on your team? Choose one form in different glazes, so each person has their own.
Monito monita with a wishlist. If they wrote a mug, or anything for coffee or tea, you are done. Pick the glaze they would pick: Sand and Charcoal are quiet, Azure and Bamboo carry colour, Rust is warm.
Secret Santa with no wishlist. A mug is one of the few safe guesses. Everyone drinks something in the morning.
Theme days. If your exchange runs on themes, a mug answers "something you use every day" and "something for something hot".
For the boss, or a ninong or ninang. Go up to Floresca, the 480 ml mug, or give a pair. See pairs.
Every piece is wrapped in kraft paper and sent in a kraft paper bag, at no charge. For a gift, ask for our gift box: boxed and tied with a ribbon, ready to give, ₱150 a box. One box holds one mug or cup, or a pair for one person. Two people, two boxes.

Something they will use after the party. A handmade stoneware mug is one: Juan ₱650, Briseo ₱700, Duke ₱800, Amado ₱850, Floresca ₱900. Boxed and tied with a ribbon, Juan is ₱800, Briseo ₱850 and Duke ₱950.
Not in the house line. Our pieces start at ₱650 (Juan), so they suit a ₱700 or ₱1,000 exchange. Every house mug is under ₱1,000.
