40th birthday · given to a colleague · under £50

He had complained about his chipped office mug for most of a decade, to the point where it had become one of the three things everyone knew about him. So for his 40th we had it copied in bone china, with the chip painted back on in gold.

It cost less than the card-and-collection would normally come to. He used the original for one more week and then retired it to the shelf above his desk, where it still is.

The joke was the gift. The mug was just how we told it.
