Have you ever wondered what do coffee mug hoarders do with their coffee mugs?
It's a common understanding that crockery and utensils belong in the kitchenware section of your home.
But hey, wait! It's 2024! There's literally nothing stopping you from doing what you want.
So why not be creative with your home and organisation?
Make your home more practically & visually organised with Coffee Mugs!
If you are person who appreciates an everyday quirk in your lifestyle, this blogpost is for you! 😉
We're listing 5 creative uses for your coffee mugs that are aesthetically offbeat.
- Desk organisers
- Medi-kits
- Baking mug cakes
- Planting potter
- Makeup organisers
(and a bonus use at the end of the list!)
5 Creative Uses for a Coffee Cup (Other than Drinking Coffee):
1. Organising! A tidy desk = tidy mind
Clutter on your work/study desk affects the overall productivity
Although, with a quirky little organisation.. you can make your desk much much neater!
Get a favourite coloured mug, put up all the extra stationary in it, place it in a corner and just get to work!
Say, you own a Hogwarts House Mug as a potterhead student who goes to a muggle world University! It would make more sense to use your favourite mug as a stationary organiser since you get to see it at all times now!
2. A cold/flu recovery kit
Winters are about to commence and there's nothing worse than falling prey to those common colds!
Store some cough syrup or menthol tablets, a nasal spray, thermometer and some medicines in a coffee mug.
Pro tip: you can even take this recovery kit as a gift to a friend who is feeling sick.
In addition to being a smart holder, the cup also doubles as a soup drinking utensil (yes, our mugs are microwave and dishwasher safe)!
Every time your friend takes a sip, they'll be reminded of your thoughtfulness for sure.
3. Baking: 5-minute cup-cake bakes
Everyone who loves self-baked cakes knows how problematic living alone can get when you’re craving a homemade brownie.
This is when 5 minute cake bake recipes come to the rescue! Make only as much portions as you can have, nothing goes to waste that way!
Get, set, bake!
You just need some basic ingredients or a readymade flour-cake mix along with your microwave safe mug. Here’s one mug recipe to bake an eggless cake in Microwave.
This is a perfect use for your quality mugs.
4. A plant potter
If your mug's handle is broken.. you can still repurpose it for stationary purposes where you do not need it to be moved around a lot. Planting a mini plant in them is one we absolutely love!
For this, you do not require anything else besides a spare coffee mug, some potting soil and seeds.
Check out our best seller microwave and dishwasher safe ceramic mug.
5. Make up essentials organiser
If you are somebody who uses make-up occasionally but do not really own a lot of makeup accessories, use a spare coffee mug to organise them!
Make the dressing table pop-up with colour by choosing a mug that would suit your style!
We also have a dedicated piece for you make-up lovers!
Bonus Coffee Cup Use Besides Coffee: a candle container!
Scented candles make for excellent festive gifts!
A scented candle in a mug will not only stand out as a unique container, but will also bring a smile on the personalised mug-candle receiver’s face every time they see and light it!
Note that your mug needs to be strong enough to withhold extreme temperature. Most ceramic mugs that are microwave friendly will do that for you!
