Put down roots. Then go after it.
This inspirational coffee mug turns a small pun into a send-off: a palm with its roots showing, and three words that say someone is on your side. It makes an easy gift for a person who is starting something new.
A palm, its roots and a low sun
The picture is a round badge with rough, brush-streak sides. At its center stands a young palm. Broad, veined green leaves fan out from the top of a slim, ringed trunk, and dark roots spread across the sand at its foot.
Behind the tree, a large yellow sun sits low over the horizon in a sky that runs from orange to red, crossed by a few dark, streaky clouds. Low red-brown hills line the distance. A teal sea carries yellow streaks of light, and white surf breaks on pale sand.
The words read "Rooting for Success". The first two arch over the scene in bold red capitals with a cream outline, and the last one sits underneath in large red script. The joke lives in the roots: the tree shows its own, and the lettering borrows the word to cheer you on.

Who it's for

Quick answers
What is the pun in the name?
To root for someone is to cheer them on. The tree in the picture has its roots on show, so the phrase works two ways: grow strong from the ground up, and know that someone is backing you.
Which hand is it made for?
Either. The badge is printed once on each side, so it faces out when you hold the handle with your right hand or your left. The area opposite the handle is left plain.
Is it a good-luck gift or a well-done gift?
Both work. Before a big step, the words say that someone is cheering. After it, they mark the result. A short note can tell the person which one you mean.
