You can never have too many mugs. There’s always room for just one more, right? Thankfully, Target has just rolled out a new set of adorable drippy glaze mugs that look significantly more expensive than just $5, so your collection can keep growing in style. They have a bit of a modern, artsy feel and come in a variety of fun colors that you might just feel compelled to collect them all.

Genesis from Target Is Everything spotted them on an aisle endcap, and the drips look even better in person than they do on the Target website. In the video, Genesis highlights a few fun mugs up for grabs, and the commenters were quick to call out the drippy glazed mugs. 

“The donut one,” one person commented on Genesis’ post about the drippy mug. Another person wrote, “Do I need a mug? No, but I do!”

What Makes Target’s Drippy Glazed Mugs So Fun?

The glazing technique on these mugs, paired with the circular handle, gives off cartoon glazed donut vibes (especially the pink version!). The mugs hold 16 fluid ounces of the beverage of your choosing, are dishwasher and microwave-safe, and come in colors like bright orange, muted pink, ivory, bright orange, and a stunning cobalt blue.

If you’re looking to buy in bulk (or if your local Target sells out!), Amazon has a similar set of mugs that also feature a dipped glaze effect. They’re from a brand called Mora Ceramics and come in similar bright and cheery colors. They’re not as modern in shape as the Room Essentials version, but you can never go wrong with a classic tapered mug design!

The mugs from Amazon also hold 16 fluid ounces of liquid and are also dishwasher and microwave safe. You can also pick up a set in a variety of neutral tones, spring colors, white, or gray.

Check out the Room Essentials drippy glaze mugs and grab a couple before they’re gone. They definitely won’t last long on Target shelves, so add them to your collection ASAP!
