The humble mug. A simple gift to get for somebody when you have absolutely no clue what to give as an alternative. Its emergency gift status has followed it around for far too long; many a cupboard is filled with mugs emblazoned with the banal \u2018you survived the toilet roll shortage of 2020\u2019 type quotes. Not to mention the various different ways to write \u2018you\u2019re a mug\u2019 upon the side of the porcelain. It\u2019s all very funny, ha-ha and all that jazz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, there are more interesting things out there; Mugs that go a bit further, interactive mugs, mugs that aren\u2019t going to gather dust at the back of a cupboard like that sad penguin thing from Toy Story. (I don\u2019t know his name, it’s been a while) But I digress, let\u2019s get started and take a look at 11 different mug ideas that will make great gifts for the hot beverage drinkers in your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1.)<\/strong>  The classic \u2018drink out of somebody\u2019s head\u2019 mug<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"

This mug comes courtesy of Paranoid Fish on Amazon, there are loads to choose from; Dumbo, Winnie the Pooh, and captain miserable himself, Eeyore but this one is my favourite. Baby Groot first blasted onto our screens in Marvel’s: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 and immediately stole our hearts. Now he\u2019s here in mug form for you to delightfully hoover up your hot beverage from his little wooden head. Perfect for Marvel fans of all ages. (Or anybody fond of monosyllabic, anthropomorphic pieces of tree).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2.)<\/strong>  Grow your own coffee Mug:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"

Here\u2019s one for the hip, trendy coffee drinker in your life. We love to save the planet nowadays and this Mug from Not On The High Street comes with its very own coffee plant for you to grow your own coffee inside; after drinking out of it to your heart’s content of course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recycling in action, oxygenating your house, growing plants, this all helps the planet, yes? I haven\u2019t got a clue but whatever. Send a letter to Greta Thunberg and tell her you\u2019re doing your bit, she won\u2019t know. You can choose whether you want to buy the Planter on its own or with the free coffee plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3.)<\/strong>  Magic Colour Changing Mugs:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"

Yes ok, \u2018magic\u2019 is a bit of a stretch to describe these mugs but the lovely colour change effect is enough to make a grown man go \u2018oooh\u2019 in wonder so that\u2019s something I suppose. These are always fun as you can see from the one above because I mean\u2026well just look at it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are endless opportunities for recipients: mum, dad, best friend or anyone that smells really!
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4.) Odd shaped Mugs that travel through time and space:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"

Image via Amazon<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Variations from the traditional mug shape are always a conversation starter, take this Tardis Mug for example, complete with lid and sassy handle. Its seemingly bigger on the inside design is also a bonus. Look at the size of it, you could store biscuits and all sorts in there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You could even throw it out of a window and see if it suddenly starts to make mechanical elephant type noises and whiz through space. It\u2019s unlikely and I wouldn\u2019t recommend it but you could give it a go, stranger things have happened. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5.)<\/strong>  Cake in a Mug:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"


Image via Etsy<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Mug cake? Erm absolutely yes please I\u2019ll have ten. The mug comes with a recipe printed on the side explaining exactly how to make the perfect quick and easy cake in a mug using simple ingredients many of us have probably got in our cupboards already. (Apart from cocoa powder, I\u2019m not Nigella Lawson). Again, available cheap from Etsy, so you save money and help out a small business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6.) Whacky, inventive Mugs<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"

This mug literally made me go wow. I was staring at it for a good 2 minutes, his little skew-whiff white and blue eyes penetrating my soul. What a marvellous invention, it\u2019s a mug and there\u2019s room for cookies or any other variety of smaller biscuity type snack. Perfection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

7.)<\/strong>  Fun Mugs for kids: (and big kids like me)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"

This beauty is ideal for kids because it comes with a 100-piece Minion jigsaw puzzle. (they\u2019re the little yellow guys from those films) If you think Minions are annoying then first of all; you\u2019re wrong and second of all, Minion mania is enough to keep your kids occupied for hours. Especially if you hide a few of the jigsaw pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Studio have plenty of designs but I have a feeling this cute, yellow piece of beverage holding yellowness is sure to make your little family members smile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

8.)<\/strong>  Iconic Artwork Mugs:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"

These mugs are for the more discerning, civilised beverage drinker. The kind of person who orders a soy latte and says words like \u2018bequeath\u2019 and \u2018minimalism\u2019. Zazzle has a wide range of iconic artworks to choose from, lovingly printed on an array of different products, such as the standard mug, paper cup, teapot, and their latte mug (I told you).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you\u2019re a neo classical kind of person or you\u2019re more of a Triumvirate of Philippine modernism type of gal, there\u2019s something there to suit all artistic tastes. Like this beautiful print of Van Goghs \u2018Starry Night\u2019, immortalised forever in mug form. I\u2019m sure it\u2019s what he would have wanted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

9.) Mugs that educate:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"

Dual purpose mugs are a big win in my book, especially these two; with the periodic table and King and Queens of the UK printed on them. Anything to help with stressful revision, learning about history or soaking up facts simply for trivia purposes can only be a good thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q from James Bond even had the periodic table mug on his desk in \u2018No time to die\u2019. Now if 007\u2019s right hand man is making use of this Mug then you need to get it pretty sharpish as well. You can pick it up from Zazzle, and if you fancy brushing up on royal history; get your King and Queens Mug from John Lewis<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10.) Cute hidden message Mugs:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"

A simple way of sending a bit of love to someone. Kate Ceramics has a whole range of Mugs featuring sweet hidden messages on the inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One review even mentions using the hidden message mug as a way of having a little bit of contact with a loved one during the pandemic lockdown. Now if that\u2019s not cute, I don\u2019t know what is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

11.)<\/strong>   Interactive Mugs:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"

You should know by now; I love me an interactive mug and this one fits the bill perfectly. What better way to alleviate the toil and boredom of work than to try and find the missing words on your very own word-search mug. Grab a pen, make sure your boss isn\u2019t looking and search away. (It might get boring after the first time but pass it around your friends, it\u2019s an ice breaker, a team building exercise, it passes 10 minutes.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, there you have it, I hope the choices above have inspired you in your Mug searching endeavours and convinced you that mugs CAN be cool. No more \u2018I survived the toilet roll shortage of 2020\u2019 and a lot more \u2018drinkable tree head\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
