Setting aside some time from even your most hectic days to enjoy your favorite tea or coffee is a great way to reset and refresh, but being greeted by an adorable friend every time you look down at your drink and take a sip makes it that much better. That's what the adorable "Friends of the Sea" cup series seeks to do and pulls off in spades.

The series, available from grape SHOP to order, includes five stylish cups that feature adorable renditions of sea animals rising up out of the "sea" of your drink to greet you and brighten your day.

When you pour a drink into the cup, you can enjoy the cute little figures peeking out from the surface of your favorite beverage. The series includes whale sharks, killer whales, pufferfish, squids, and whales.

Each semi-porcelain cup is handmade to order, meaning each and every sea animal is made with a slightly different, but unique design. In the crafting process, a transparent glaze is applied, which makes the surface smooth and stain-resistant, and they're both dishwasher and microwave-friendly.
