The answer is FACETATS.
The clue "Decorations for a mug?" with the answer "FACETATS" refers to plays on a double meaning of the word "mug." In this context, "mug" refers to a type of drinkware, while "FACETATS" is a pun derived from the word "facets," which means the different sides or surfaces of a gemstone.
The term "facetats" is a playful combination of "facet" and "tat" (short for tatting, a form of lace-making). Essentially, "FACETATS" suggests decorative elements that might be found on the facets of a gem, cleverly connecting to the idea of "decorations" for a "mug" (or surface). This wordplay turns the literal "mug" into a metaphor for something adorned or decorated, much like a gemstone is embellished with facets.
