Each year, we wait with bated breath for Oprah's Favorite Things to drop because we know it'll be chock full of swoon-worthy, highly giftable goodies. And if you're still on the hunt for a last-minute Mother's Day gift (you only have until May 12, after all), these wildly affordable Sister.ly Drinkware Double-Wall Glass Mugs — which were sold out for quite a while — made Ms. Winfrey's discerning cut. They'll have Mom sipping in style and keep her hot and cold drinks at an ideal temperature longer than just any old mug. They're only about $13 each ($25 for the set), so grab a pair for Mom and another for yourself.
These insulated mugs caught the attention of Oprah, who included them on her Favorite Things 2023 list. "Is lukewarm tea anyone’s favorite? I don’t think so," she says. (And we're inclined to agree.) She continues: "Two sisters created this shapely double-walled design that keeps coffee, tisanes and hot chocolate warm to the very last drop." Oprah-approved, affordable and Mom is sure to adore them.
"My grandma and I wanted to feel like the Hallmark Christmas characters with their clear hot cocoa mugs," shared one happy sipper. "These are great! Warms up hot in the microwave, but not hot to hold because of the double wall. Highly recommend as a gift!"
This sleek gadget has three temperature settings to choose from so Mom won't have to keep making trips to the microwave.
"I love this mug warmer," wrote a content shopper. "I'm working from home and don't always have time to go into the kitchen to warm up my mug. This now keeps it warm for a good four hours at a time, which [is] absolutely perfect for me. It's not burning-your-mouth hot, but it is a good temperature that holds steady."
"Is lukewarm tea anyone’s favorite? I don’t think so," says Oprah. (We're inclined to agree.) She continues: "Two sisters created this shapely double-walled design that keeps coffee, tisanes and hot chocolate warm to the very last drop."
An Oprah endorsement of any product is enough to make our ears perk up, but when she recommends something as useful and affordable as these Sister.ly mugs, consider us sold. And there's a lot to love about this set. The chic clear design goes with everything and will let Mom see how much she's pouring into each cup. Plus, they have wider bases for added stability, and they're dishwasher-safe.
Of course, the fact that these mugs will keep her coffee, tea or cocoa at the right temperature for longer than the average cup is their biggest selling point. They're made of premium lead-free glass, and since they're double-wall insulated, Mom's hands will be spared from holding a piping-hot mug.
Oprah's not the only one who loves these mugs — reviews are coming in from happy Amazon shoppers, too.
"My grandma and I wanted to feel like the Hallmark Christmas characters with their clear hot cocoa mugs," shared one happy sipper. "These are great! Warms up hot in the microwave, but not hot to hold because of the double wall. Highly recommend as a gift!"
"My daily go-to mug while I am sitting at my home office," wrote another. "Love to hold it up when I'm on video calls. My colleagues always say, 'That's a nice glass.' It makes me feel fancy."
"These beautiful mugs are as pretty as they are functional," gushed a third buyer. "The double-walled insulation keeps hot beverages hotter for a longer time, just what I need while browsing the news on my iPad at breakfast. But the best thing is that they are simply lovely and a joy to use."
"They are a bit fragile, but once you get used to them they are perfect!" shared an otherwise satisfied shopper. "They do a good job keeping my coffee hot longer than traditional mugs and they look so pretty. I actually like how lightweight they are."
And for a little reinforcement, this popular mug warmer also makes a great Mother's Day gift for a coffee lover:
