Cookie Mug

Sitting down with a nice cup of tea and a few biscuits is one of life’s greatest pleasures. The problem is you need somewhere to shove your biscuits prior to dunking. And who can be bothered with all that plate palaver?

We certainly can’t. Because as well as the extra washing up, it’s a bit fiddly holding a mug and a plate simultaneously. Well okay, it’s not that taxing but the sophisticated layabout needs all the help he/she can get. And transporting custard creams in your gob is never a good idea, as it’s impossible to resist scoffing them before you sit down.

Enter the forehead-slappingly ingenious Cookie Mug (Cookie Pocket Mug). Loaded with why-didn’t-I-think-of-that factor, this smart ceramic mug features a special compartment in which to store your beloved biscuits. Clever, eh!

Just think, with a couple of Cookie Mugs in the cupboard you’ll never have to run back to the kitchen to fetch your digestives, or crack out the carpet cleaner when your attempts to balance biscuits on the rim of your mug end in tea-spattered failure.

The Cookie Pocket Mug is also ideal for tea and biscuits in bed, because carrying two things at once up the stairs is always a tricky proposition first thing in the morning or last thing at night.
