mug

These heat changing arcade mugs could be a lot like you in the morning: blank, dull, inanimate objects. However, fill them with coffee and they bring Space Invaders and Pac Man screens to life with ghosts, aliens and lines of Pac Man breakfast dots.  You can watch a short clip with a $1 budget after the break.

death-before-decaf

Regardless of whether that hot coffee poured into your mug is decaf or full-caffeinated bliss, this mug’s design will become animated by the hot liquid. Choosing death over having to drink decaf may seem a bit extreme, but you just can’t mess with a man’s coffee.

hangover-mug

With his confused expression and ice bag on his head, this mug will commiserate with you on those mornings that follow a night of overindulging. A little understanding along with a lot of hot coffee goes a long way toward helping you recover from a wicked hangover, though nothing is going to bring those lost brain cells back.

bangkok-nights

The Bangkok Nights Mug is not your typical heat changing mug where the clothes disappear when it is filled up with hot liquid. With this particular mug you can watch their faces turn from anticipation to sheer terror when they realize that the Thai lady on the mug is actually a man. Who knows, maybe they prefer what they are shown over what they expected.

stein 1

Not on the moon mind you—at the bar. This ceramic and pewter space stein commemorates the Apollo 11 mission to the moon with highly detailed reliefs. I’m sure it would be a pleasure to drink out of, but I would hesitate to buy anything from a website that still looks like it was made in the early ’90s.

totem-mugs

These mugs give you a little bit of a Native American flair when used individually, but when combined in one stack they provide you with a miniature, ceramic totem pole. One of the few accessories you can get that liven up the look of your cupboard interior.
