Drinking liquids is twice as pleasant now
Ho ho ho! Christmas is coming, and Christmas is the time of presents. If you have trouble finding presents, here is an idea - a cool cup. It is very useful in the office, home, for decorative reasons, and here only the funniest cups are collected - for those who want to be original in their coffee-tea drinking ritual.
This is a plant cup - almost like from Alice in Wonderland times - it is big enough for a kitty to sit in it.

Interlocking mugs - for the whole family to tune in:
