Why should your horrible holiday fashion sense be limited to your Christmas sweaters? Now you can bring that lapse in good judgement to your morning coffee. The Christmas Jumper Mug can be your morning eyesore, while it keeps your coffee or tea warm. Sorry, it doesn’t light up like your Rudolph sweater.
The mug itself is sturdy ceramic with included knitted jumper.

Keep your coffee warm while you celebrate your geekdom, with The Yoda Coffee Cup Cozy. Crocheted to resemble everyone’s favorite backwards-talking jedi master, it’s brought to us by Etsy member CuddlefishCrafts. Fits over any standard coffee cup it does, keep you from burning your hand it will.
In keeping with the awesome new trend of finding alternative uses for the ubiquitous Ball Jar, the Holdster will help turn your jar into the coolest of drinking vessels. Each Holdster is handmade from genuine vegetable-tanned full-grain leather, and secured at the seam by either copper rivets or a cross-stitch.
Not only will The Holdster keep your mason jar secure and easier to handle, but it will help insulate, and will have your drinking hand smelling of rich leather all day. The Holdster is currently sold out on its site, but more extensive production is planned and looking for funding on Kickstarter.
We’ve all been there — having to use our finger to stir our coffee. Coffinger, an instant coffee packaging concept, actually supports our laziness. The design by Jaeyong Lee provides a convenient and eco-friendly solution when there’s no stirrer to be found, or when you’re in no mood to go digging for a spoon.
Simply tear the packaging, add coffee to hot water, turn the packaging inside-out over your finger, and stir. The inside of the Coffinger packaging is aluminum-coated — creating a sanitary and eco-friendly alternative to a non-biodegradable stirrer or your dirty digit.
For an even more convenient coffee option, check out Coffee On A Stick. Or, an eco-friendly container with I Am Not A Paper Cup.

Because our best decisions are always made before we’ve had our coffee, the 7-Election is back. With two coffee cups to choose from, blue for the incumbent Obama, or red for Romney — choosing a president has never been easier. Just stop by your local 7-Eleven to grab a coffee/cast your vote, and you can show off which party you roll with all the way to work.
As we speak, Obama leads the 7-Election with 52% of cup grabbers, over Romney’s 42%… There must be more tea drinkers in the red states. And, if you were thinking of voting for the Green Party, we’ve got you covered.
Because coffee without a cookie is just plain silly, The Cookie Cup is the design breakthrough that we’ve been waiting for. Created by Enrique Luis Sardi for Italian coffee company Lavazza – a cookie is shaped into a sweet drinking vessel.
The Cookie Cup is lined with a sugar icing to help keep the coffee in, and makes for a sweet treat when it’s empty.
