Best for the commute
The mug from the intro: it keeps coffee hot for up to seven hours and the Snapseal lid locks, so it can go in a bag. The listing confirms a vacuum-insulated steel body and a lid that goes in the dishwasher. The mug itself is hand-wash only. See it against the rest of Gifts for men he will actually use →
Best for hot drinks
New mums are known for finding their tea cold an hour later, and the listing says this keeps it hot for up to 7 hours. The lid slides open and shut with one hand and locks leakproof, which matters with a baby on the other arm. Only the lid goes in the dishwasher, so the steel body is a hand wash.

Best budget gift
Cuts the coffee-shop habit that a first salary invites. The listing confirms 470ml, drinks kept hot for up to 7 hours and a lid that locks shut, so it can ride in a bag. Only the lid is dishwasher safe; the steel body has to be washed by hand. See it against the rest of Graduation gifts for a new start →
