Product Insights
The Squirrel In A Tree Mug by Simons Maison offers a playful hidden squirrel alcove at a price below printed mugs, with a 12 oz capacity and 3-inch diameter that fits cup holders, stays stable, and reduces tipping and wrist strain due to a low center of gravity, but requires hand washing and careful cleaning to preserve the 3D detail, and must reach room temperature before hot liquid to prevent thermal shock.
Verified claims
- Design novelty
- Hidden squirrel alcove creates a playful surprise at a price below printed mugs.
- Usability
- Listed at 350 ml (12 oz) fill capacity, but the sculpted squirrel indent reduces usable liquid volume; the 3-inch diameter fits cup holders and the low 4-inch profile keeps it stable.
- Care
- Requires hand washing and careful cleaning to preserve the 3D detail.
- Balance
- Low center of gravity and 12 oz fill reduce tipping and wrist strain.
- Fit
- 3-inch diameter fits standard car cup holders and provides a natural full-hand grip.
- Dishwasher safety
- Hand-wash recommended: normal dishwashing can corrode the glaze and stress the attachment of the squirrel figurine.
- Thermal shock
- Let mug reach room temperature before adding hot liquid to prevent cracks.
- Cleaning practices
- Use a soft brush and mild soap; avoid abrasives to protect the glaze.
- Squirrel construction
- The squirrel is a sculpted 3D figure attached to the mug, not a printed image.
- Storage
- Store the mug upright with a soft liner between it and neighboring mugs to protect the protruding squirrel.

Squirrel cup
So cute and great size.
Squirrel mug
This is a beautiful mug. Only down side is the indent from the squirrel definitely takes up space inside the mug. So the mug doesn’t hold much liquid. It isn’t practical, but it is cute :)
Best company ever
This order made it to me so quickly!
Tres beau!
Tres belle tasse pour les amoureux d'ecureuils comme moi. De tres bonne qualiter.
Cutie
As advertised. The lil guy takes a bit of volume out of the mug but it's worth it.
Love it
My new favourite mug. Was afraid it would be hard to clean, but it's pretty easy to hand wash.
