A Tea Drinker’s Letter to Santa!

by Mary

Oh, hey, Santa!

It’s Mary! It’s been a while, I get it. If it helps, let me jog your memory: big curly hair, nerdy glasses, asked for a pet hamster every single Christmas from ages 4-7? Yup. I’m back!

This year, though, there aren’t any furry creatures on my wish list. (Okay, maybe a puppy. Always a puppy.) I’ve got a big ole’ tea cabinet full of goodies, Santa, and I need some things to compliment my cuppa!

First things first: I’m a girl on the go, Mr. Claus. And I’m sick of finding myself without easy access to tea whenever and wherever I need it. The perfect remedy? This adorable, snappy travel bag to toss some spare bags in for sipping anywhere!

Next, let’s talk practicality. Have you ever tried to hold a cup that you’ve just poured boiling hot water into? Exactly. Ouch. This adorable cozy knit mug sleeve wouldn’t just look cute on my cup, it’d be functional to boot.

Did I say I already had a packed tea cabinet, Santa? I mean, I could probably make some room for this Harry Potter-themed tea sampler in there. Especially with the recent release of Fantastic Beasts. Have you seen it? SO GOOD. Take Mrs. Claus on a date night! You know, after the 25th.

Lastly, Old St. Nick, what would my list be without an adorable new mug to sip my drinks from? I don’t know about you, but I like my mugs BIG. For lots of tea and maximum cozy-factor. This adorable ceramic hand-thrown mug checks all my mug-requirement boxes.

What’s that, Santa? I’ve got room for one more thing on my list? Twist my arm, why don’tcha. This gorgeous set of cream and sugar bowls would look perfect on the counter next to our teapot. And you know me– with how I take my tea, these bowls would never be full for long!

And BONUS, Santa– everything on my list is from independently owned Etsy shops! Support small businesses AND fill my Christmas stocking? It’s a win-win. And when you pop down the chimney on 12/24, I’ll be the girl with the big curly hair and giant nerd glasses in the corner sipping a cuppa. You’ll recognize me. 😉 Merry happy!

Love, Mary

Hi there! I'm Mary, a 27-year-old mental health professional living with my fiancé and our quirky kitten in the Midwest! I've loved tea for as long as I can remember-- in fact, I have vivid memory of being four or five in a tea shop and being mesmerized by all the tea flavors and proclaiming that I "was going to be kind of adult who drank tea, not coffee." A stint living (and tea-drinking my way through) London and twenty-some years later, I'm still channeling that sassy four-year-old and loving my tea habit. When I'm not sipping a cuppa, you'll find me reading, doing yoga, traveling, exploring my own city, planning our wedding and experimenting with different healthful and healing foods in my kitchen.

  1. I love the “big curly hair, nerdy glasses” description. For a moment, I was worried Santa would mix us up. But then you went in with the hamster thing, and I knew I was safe. I’m pretty sure I wanted to pet a whale. I asked for that a lot.
