It’s winter time and we all know what the means, Christmas! For most of us it also means time off work and a chance to see the whole family. However, all this festive joy comes with a price, the weather. Being cold is a horrible feeling, your fingers go numb and you shiver yourself to sleep at night. It’s important to stay warm this winter, so it makes sense to drink hot drinks such as tea or coffee, and what better way to drink one than out of a fantastic novelty mug!

Mugs have become quite a popular choice of gift in the last few years. You can get personalised mugs, singing mugs or mugs that do strange things. Below is a list of what we believe are the top 3 Novelty Mugs this winter.

If you or someone you know is an avid photographer, then they will love the Camera Lens Mug. This brilliant mug’s design is based on the Canon EF -24-105 mm camera lens and it’s practically identical. Watch people’s faces as they see you drinking from what looks like an £800 camera lens but in actual fact it’s just a brilliant mug. Not only is the mug great fun and great to drink from but it also comes in handy too as the lid (disguised as a lens cover) doubles up as a plate for your biscuits!

This mug will make the perfect gift for anyone who enjoys a laugh, a cup of tea or wants to confuse their work colleagues in the office.

Pac Man is still one of the best games to date, at some point in your life you will have played it, and if you haven’t then stop reading this and go play it. At first this mug looks like your ordinary Pac Man maze design, but add a hot liquid and watch as Pac Man and the ghosts slowly appear on the mug! The mug reacts to a change of temperature so if you want to see Pac Man appear again, just keep putting hot liquid in the mug. This mug would make a great gift for anyone who loves Pac Man or just cool mugs.

Shopping, one of the things we have to do whether we love it or hate it. Some of us love zooming down the supermarket aisles filling the cart up with all sorts of goodies. For those of you that do then this rather cute mini shopping trolley would be perfect for a whizz around your desktop mimicking your supermarket experience. It’s okay we can all be bit mad every now and again, and why not, craziness can bring tons of excitement while at the office, just don’t let your boss find out.

You’ll hardly fit a jam jar in the mini shopping trolley but it’s a great way to store your pens, pencils and many other small gizmos. Certainly different to the majority of pen holders out there.
