One record, one tape and one heart holding them together.

This cassette tape mug is for mix-makers, playlist creators, and old-school music romantics, the people who believe the order of the songs matters. It holds the day's opening coffee, and it makes a fitting thank-you for whoever once made a tape just for you.

The design: Love the Mix, a record and a tape in one heart

At the center sits a heart drawn as one thick pink outline. Tucked into its upper left is a vinyl record: a pink disc with a pale shine mark, a teal center label with a small spindle hole, and a dark lower half traced with thin purple groove lines. A tonearm in teal and orange drops in from the upper right, crosses the edge of the heart and sets its orange head down on the record.

On the right, a cassette tape overlaps the heart's edge, with a teal shell, a purple label area, an orange window showing two round reels and an orange strip along the base. The point of the heart is filled purple and holds two small orange circles. A thin orange shield outline runs behind everything, four cream four-point sparkles sit around the badge, and an orange ribbon with notched tails carries the words LOVE THE MIX in heavy block capitals, with a small THE tucked between its two larger neighbors.

It is drawn flat, like a retro sticker, in pink, teal, orange, purple and cream. The record is the music you put on for the whole room, and the tape is the one you made for a single person. Neither carries a label, so the mix is whichever one you remember.

A glossy cassette tape mug for the daily listening session

• Glossy black ceramic, so the bright colors of the badge stand out against a dark background
• Both sides carry the badge, which keeps the heart in view whichever hand lifts the mug
• Dishwasher safe, so washing up is quick
• Microwave safe, so a second warm-up is no trouble
• The ceramic is lead and BPA-free, good to know for the mug you use most
• Sturdy ceramic that earns a regular spot in the cupboard

Who it's for

Mixtape makers, crate diggers, DJs, radio-show hosts and anyone who still arranges songs with care. It suits a desk beside the turntable, a studio shelf or the kitchen, wherever the morning playlist starts. Consider it for an anniversary, Valentine's Day, a housewarming for two people merging their record shelves, or a birthday for the drummer who guards the aux cord.

Quick answers

Is the record or the cassette from a real album?

They are generic drawings with blank labels, so you can read them as whatever album or mix means the most to you.

Can it be a romantic gift?

It can. A heart wrapped around a record and a tape reads like a love note to someone's taste in music, and it works just as well between friends who trade playlists.

Where do I find the measurements?

The size guide next to the size options lists height and diameter for each one, and the art is the same on all of them.
