Bob Ross is having a renaissance. Or Ross-isance? Twenty-two years after the famed artist's passing, the man who taught the world to paint with The Joy Of Painting is having a comeback, with a slew of products honoring his years on TV. There's a board game, paint sets, a vinyl figure. Even the Deadpool sequel was announced with a short video spoofing Ross's show.

But, if you're a fan of the artist's work - particularly his "happy trees" and other quips - there's no better gift than this heat-change mug from Urban Outfitters.

BUY IT NOW: Bob Ross mug, $14; Urban Outfitters

The ceramic cup features Ross's mug against a black background. On the other side, there's his famous quote (and your soon-to-be life mantra): "There are no mistakes, only happy accidents." When you pour a hot drink in it, be it coffee, water, or a hot toddy (no judgment here), the black background gradually transforms into one of Ross's landscape paintings.

Craggy mountains, wispy trees, and swirling clouds all come into view, creating the same surprise-and-delight factor you had when you watched Ross turn what looked like a spiky blob into the happiest damn tree you ever saw.

At $14, it's pricier than your typical mug, but it's practically guaranteed to be the most fought-over gift at your office's white elephant party. Trust.
