PTSD - Vintage Cup & Saucer

Don't Startle Me / Hypervigilant Sips Only

£12.00

For the hypervigilant tea-sipper who likes their brew calm and their humour dark. This vintage cup and saucer set from the We Are All Made Here range serves up some gentle honesty with a dash of sass. Featuring lilac polka dots, the saucer reads “Don’t Startle Me!” while the inside of the cup offers a pointed reminder: “Hypervigilant Sips Only.”

Made for those living with PTSD – whether diagnosed or just deeply traumatised by 2020 – this is a delicate nod to those who keep it together one sip at a time. Because healing doesn’t have to be serious all the time. Sometimes it comes with china and cursing.
