When we think of a mug we think of drinking coffee and tea from it and that’s really it.

Mugs can easily accumulate over many years and you can end up having a fair few that don’t even get used. Though they may represent places you have been, great times in your life and gifts from friends. So how could you possibly give any of these keepsakes up ?
