If the cabinets in urban office kitchens are any indication, it’s clear that no two coffee mugs are quite alike. Some are emblazoned with logos for local banks and physical therapists, some have punny (or downright inappropriate) sayings printed on them, and there even may be a random holiday mug with dancing candy canes and snowmen. However, now that the weather is starting to get chilly again, do you really want to put your Pumpkin Spice Latte in a mug that some ex-coworker’s kid made in middle-school art class? Probably not. So consider some of these cool cups instead.
