Do you have your own special mug/cup that you drink out of at home or work?

I don't have my own special mug that I drink out of. When I was working (teacher at Primary school) alot of the teachers always had their own mug, which is a good idea as you don't want to be drinking from other peoples cups, I always forgot to bring one, so I drank from the spare mugs. When I am at home, I just use any mug for my cup of tea. So how about you, do you have a special mug that you like to drink out of? Please describe this special mug to me and what makes it so special, lol.

Yes ma'am , I have a special mug for my coffee. In the first place, I am a coffee addict. I take about five cups of coffee per day. And, here comes the miracle, my coffee tastes and smells better in my special mug ! I don't exactly know why ! Have a nice day !

Oh yes, I have my own special mug, it was brought for me a few years ago by my Mum and it is pink striped with blue stars on it. It has a picture of cartoon girl with wild hair and features and above her it says "Wild child". Mum said it was me, as I was one up until a few years ago. It is the perfect mug for me and I always use it, even though I have been bought other mugs since then I still come back to my old mug.

Dear friend, When I was in school we all had a glass that would be kept specially for reach student we have to bring it from our home. At Home when I was a child I used to have a special cup and a plate whic my mom used to serve only for me in that not only for me my sister and brother too had had their own speicl plates and mugs. Even medicines were given in that cups and mugs which could be easily taken by us even though it was sour. May be a special attachment could be make more likeing to have food on that particular plate may be not in everyone case.

Yes I think children like to have their own special plate and mug, makes eating more exciting for them I think.

I also do not have any special mug/cup for consuming tea/milk etc. I do not mind takeing milk etc. in any of the cups. But given the choice, I prefer taking milk in a normal than bigger cup, which when you hold in your hand, look different from others. Trendy mugs do enhance the beauty of the drink, I believe.

I have a set of special mugs that I enjoy drinking coffee and tea out of. I looked and looked until I found a potter who made mugs just like I like them and I bought a set. I think a mug should fit your hand and your mouth just right. I love my set of mugs.

Yes. We all have our own special mug at home and in the office. It's more hygienic in this way. My children all follow this good habit.

I actually have a special spoon I use for cereal, soup and/or ice cream. If the spoon is dirty I have to wash it before I can eat. It;s just the perfect size
