I’m not a regular coffee drinker but, lately, I’ve been enjoying a cup every once in a while in front of the fireplace. It must be the chilly, snowy weather we’re having here. As of right now, I own a boring matched set of 4 coffee mugs. They’re nothing spectacular but, since Handy Hubby doesn’t drink coffee at all, we don’t really have a need for more. Still, I had fun rounding up several cozies and mugs available over on Etsy.
I’m not sure these cozies are necessary – or even practical – but they definitely have a way of dressing up an otherwise boring mug. If you can knit or sew, they’d be a quick DIY gift, wouldn’t they? {Note to self: make mug cozies as Christmas gifts next year.} The knitted sweater cozies add great texture while the sewn fabric wrap lends color and pattern. Adorable. Find them here:
1 & 3 – Natalya’s Studio
2 – Boutique Karma
These hand painted mugs are colorful and lively…just the pick-me-up to go along with a steaming cup of coffee in the morning. Again, a totally plausible DIY project that would make a great gift. {Another note to self: if the mug cozies don’t work out, try hand painted mugs instead.} See these bright and happy mugs here:
4 – A Quartzy Life
5 – Indobay Inc.
7 – McCheek’s Mayhem
So, the question of the day is…Do you drink coffee? If so, what’s your fave and how do you take it? Milk, creamer, sugar? Is a cup of joe part of your daily routine or do you only partake on special occasions? I’m into Archer Farms’ French Vanilla at the moment. {It’s available at Target.} I like it with milk and sugar. I drink maybe 3 or 4 cups a month and thoroughly enjoy them. Although, if this winter weather keeps up, I may find myself delving into it more frequently!
FYI – I was not compensated in any way for this post. I just love sharing yummy stuff.
