When you have received a personalized coffee mug from someone – you must have felt special and loved. So, what do you do with that coffee mug? Most of you would generally respond that “sip tea/coffee/beverage”. And some of you would say that “they are kept safely in a cupboard as a memory”. But are sipping tea/coffee or being another showpiece – the only goals of a coffee mug? There are lot many other creative ways to use these mugs. When you learn these creative ways to use a mug, you will be thrilled to take out those unused mugs too and put them to various uses.
Place A Plant
Place some soil with pebbles and grow a lucky bamboo, money plant, Syngonium, or jade plant in it. You can keep this coffee mug cum planter on your cupboard, office table, bedside table, or side table. Your personalised mug will now work as an oxygen enhancer and remover of harmful toxins.
Artificial Cactus Décor
Take the mug and fill it up with pebbles. Wash and pat dry the pebbles before that. You may also colour these pebbles and dry them up before filling up the mug. Now take a cylindrical or elongated piece of rock and paint it green (just like the colour of cactus). After the paint dries up, you can use a white marker to draw the small thorns or shoots of cactus. Then place it on the pebbles filled coffee mug. It would be a simple and zesty home décor item.
Spoon Holder For Dining Table
You can add a bit of thrilling memory of happiness on your dining table too. Put the personalised coffee mug at the centre of your dining table. Keep your spoon, forks, and other cutlery items here. Those family members who stay away from you will also be present through this mug. Isn’t that a cool idea?
Bake A Cake
Baking a cake isn’t always a tiring task. You don’t always need a huge amount of flour, milk, butter, etc. to prepare a cake. For all those midnight cravings for something sweet, you can prepare a cake in a mug. The whole process won’t even take you more than 2 minutes. Just take flour, cocoa powder, milk, sugar, choco chips, egg (optional), vanilla essence (optional), etc. in your mug and give a nice stir. Now, put this mug in your microwave and bake for 1 minute. You can top this cake with a few scoops of ice cream.
Smart Pen Holder
On a study table or on the office desk – a personalised mug can be kept to hold all your favourite pens, pencils, markers, and sketch pens. It will keep the desks or tables organised and clean. Plus, your table will also radiate the best memories of your life.
Coffee Table Décor
Take your personalised mug and place it on your coffee table. Now insert some artificial flower or fresh flowers in it – won’t that look simple yet elegant? You can also keep colourful paper flowers or woolen flowers inside the mug. This would enhance the great looks of your coffee table.
Cute Piggy Bank
Measure the round mouth of your personalised coffee mug and cut the cardboard. Now, decorate this cardboard the way you want. You can simply sketch with colour, draw patterns, or glue some decorative stars. Now make a small opening of about the size of a coin (just like the one piggy banks have) on this cardboard. And now glue it atop the coffee mug. Keep it beside the study table or on the side table to store your coins.
A Bright Candle Holder
Melt a candle, mix colour if you want and pour in your personalized coffee mug, holding the wicker at the middle. It will look amazing and due to the high sides, there won’t be any fear of leaking into the surface. During power cut or when you want a warm, cozy, and dim setting for your evening soiree – then lit up this candle.
