Cool crazy and funny coffee mugs make great gifts

Mugs and coffee cups like these always bring a smile to my face. My Mom collected them.

@teddletonmr that was the way I used to drink my coffee too, until sidelined by a bad reaction to a cup, resulting in a long course of antibiotics and water. I can still drink it if it's half milk and half water but it's safer to stick to tea these days. I like hot blackcurrant tea, red fruit tea left to go cold and weak hot green tea too. No good leaving green tea to stew as it makes me feel sick. Fruit tea must be served in a normal sized mug, green tea can be in something larger and black tea with milk, as before, is always in the biggest mug possible, as strong as possible. Unless you're my mum-in-law, in which case, no chance. Tiny mugs and weak-as-a-fortnight strength. I think the teabag might have seen the water for 30 seconds maximum!

@WordChazer, as a yank myself, I enjoy green tea a bit watered downed, lightly sweetened with a spoonful of Splenda these days, served over ice in a wide-mouthed quart mason jar. Coffee is another thing, I like it strong enough to walk by its self, with just a little hazelnut flavor as a kicker just to tantalize the ole taste buds up a bit.

@ologsinquito, it’s hard to beat a mason jar, putting a handle on the side of the jar makes it easier to hold, and protects the fingers from touching the hot mug full of coffee or tea.

I have a collection of giant teacups and overly large mugs. I'm a Brit, therefore I drink tea. Char. Stand your spoon up in it strength. Lead in your pencil style brew. My favorite mug is a beer tankard design of pot complete with the dimples and the handle. Looks just like the ones you used to be able to get in pubs, except it's thick black china. I like the mason jar idea too. That's my size of mug!

I like the Mason jar idea. My teenage daughter drinks her coffee from a Mason jar.
