Gifts for
Your Wife

You already know how she takes her coffee, which cup she reaches for, and where she sits with it. Start there.

FLORESCA handmade stoneware mug, a gift for your wife from AWIS

The short answer. Choose the cup by how she drinks. A long, slow coffee wants Floresca at 480 ml. Her everyday first cup is Briseo. If she likes something smaller in the hand, Amado. For tea, Juan, without a handle. Every one is made by hand in the Philippines, from ₱650.

A gift for someone close is judged on care more than on price. In a study in the Journal of Marketing, people found handmade objects more attractive than identical machine made ones, and the effect was strongest when the object was a gift for someone close. What they responded to was the care they read in it.

By how she takes it

Four of the house pieces, each suited to a way of drinking. Every one is wrapped in kraft paper, or boxed and tied for ₱150.

For the occasion

Christmas. Reserve early; pieces are prepared within three to five business days after payment, and December is our busiest month.

Her birthday. One mug in the glaze she would choose herself. If you are unsure, Sand and Charcoal are the quietest; Azure and Bamboo carry more colour.

An anniversary. The ninth is traditionally pottery. A pair, one for each of you, says the rest.

Giving it

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.

We ship anywhere in the Philippines, from ₱300 in Luzon, Metro Manila included, and from ₱400 to Visayas and Mindanao, or you can collect for free in Pasig. Pieces are prepared within three to five business days after payment. If a piece we ship arrives broken, we replace it or refund it. For Christmas, reserve early.

To order, message @awis.ph on Instagram or write to hello@awis.ph with the pieces and glazes. You can also add pieces to a reservation and send it when you are ready.

For more pieces by budget, see Ceramic Gifts. For how glazes vary from piece to piece, read Why No Two Are the Same.

Questions

Something she will use every day and connect with you when she does. A handmade mug chosen for how she takes her coffee or tea is one of the plainest ways to do that. At AWIS: Juan ₱650, Briseo ₱700, Amado ₱850, Floresca ₱900.

Flowers last a week. A cup she reaches for every morning lasts years, and each time she uses it, it is from you. If she collects, a piece by a named Filipino ceramic artist from the gallery goes further.

A single handmade stoneware mug: Juan ₱650, Briseo ₱700, Amado ₱850 or Floresca ₱900, boxed and tied for ₱150 more.

In the traditional list of anniversary gifts, the ninth anniversary is pottery. A pair, one for each of you, suits it.

Yes, anywhere in the Philippines: from ₱300 in Luzon, Metro Manila included, and from ₱400 to Visayas and Mindanao. Or collect it for free in Pasig. Pieces are prepared within three to five business days after payment.

Yes. They are high fired stoneware. The one thing to avoid is a sudden change in temperature, such as boiling water into a cold cup.
