Can I give it before the person retires?

That's the idea. It reads as a countdown, so it works any time in the run-up to the big day.

How is it different from the 2026 version?

Only the year on the banner; the clock and lettering are identical.

Is the design on both sides of the mug?

Yes. The design is printed on both sides, so it faces out whether the mug is held in the left hand or the right.

About this design

Some people are retired. Others have a countdown app, a spreadsheet and a date circled in 2027. Here's one for that second group: officially off the clock, just not quite yet.

The same sleepy setup as the 2026 edition, one year further out: golden “RETIRED” lettering, a red banner marked “2027” between gold stars, and a red alarm clock dozing under floating Z's. Its face skips the numbers and just says “WHENEVER,” with “OFFICIALLY OFF THE CLOCK” in cream and red below.

Kept on the work desk, the mug makes every coffee one fewer before the last day.

Who it's for

Wrap it for Christmas or a birthday for someone who has already given notice for next year, or to cheer on a spouse in the home stretch. It also fits a party for anyone whose last day lands in early 2027.

About the mug

11 oz glossy ceramic mug with the design printed on both sides, so it shows whichever hand holds it. Dishwasher and microwave safe.

Care

Top-rack dishwasher safe. Hand washing keeps the print bright the longest.
