PACMAN

Yes, I'm bringing back the heat changing mugs. I'm sorry. They are just too cool. Maybe it's because I want one myself. If I do buy one, it will definitely be this one. Why? Well because it has Pac-Man on it.

For all those gamers out there, this mug is really cool. This mug shows the arcade game Pac-Man. The game was first released in 1980 in the United States. It was immensely popular and still is. I think we can all appreciate a classic when we see one. When the mug is cold only the maze is seen but once it warms up Pac-Man and his enemies appear mid-game.

You can get it here

Tea Anyone?

To be quite honest, I'm not sure what the purpose is of this Tea Cup. You certainty can't drink tea out of it. It's pretty darn cute though.

This is The Storm in a Tea Cup. It plays on the famous idiom meaning a small event that is exaggerated out of proportion. Inside the tea cup, a golden boat rides on mechanical waves under storm clouds. When you turn the gold handle, the waves move and the cloud reveals a lightening bolt. It's very cute, but there really is no purpose for it. Just a cute nick knack. 


I thought my friend Kayla over at Sip Worthy would enjoy it. I certainly thought it was adorable.

I even considered buying it for my Godmother who collects teapots, but then I saw the price. My love only goes as far as my pocket book I suppose.

But, if you happen to be rich, then you can find it here

Wake up with your mug

   Good Morning Sleepyhead! Don’t you just hate it when it’s time to get up and start the day? Wouldn't you love to just say “Just five more minutes” all day long? Well, I've had those moments too. Usually, when I've only had two hours of sleep because I spent the whole night reading a book or writing a paper. I can’t make getting out of bed any easier (unless you want a run away alarm clock) but I can possibly make your morning cup of coffee or tea a little more enjoyable.



   This coffee cup, designed by Damion O’Sullivan, makes a morning cup of coffee a little interesting. When the cup is cold, it stays black with a white sleeping face, but once you pour in hot coffee, the mug warms up and the face changes. The mug wakes up with you and changes to a white smiling face. I can’t assure you your mornings will be pleasurable, but at least you can watch as your mug change colors.


   If you don’t like smiley faces, but like the idea of a heat changing cup then there is a cup for you too. Damian O’Sullivan also designed a hot and cold mug. This cup lets the drinker know if the liquid inside is hot or cold by changing color with the temperature.

Would a cup like this make your morning cup of coffee more enjoyable?
