Gift Guide 2015 | Mug Shot

In Britain, we throw away 2.5 billion disposable coffee cups a year! Help save the environment and help caffeine withdrawal by giving someone a reusable cup this Christmas.


1. Daily Tumbler 20 USD by Miir. Available in a range of colours, comes with lid, double wall insulation, and clean conscience as the cost of the cup includes clean water for a person in need for a year.

2. KeepCup ~£10 on Amazon. Wide range of colours and various sizes, BPA free and also available in glass. Only needs 15 uses to break even in terms of embodied energy.

3. S'Well Water Bottle £29.95 500ml. Featuring double wall insulation, a screw-top "leak proof" lid, and a huge assortment of colours, textures and patterns.

4. Joco Cup £18.99 225ml, £19.99 340ml, £22.99 500ml. For coffee lovers who fear that plastic and paper can affect the taste of coffee. Ideal for taking to coffee shops to ask barristas to fill, however it can't be thrown into a bag when full.

5.. The Mighty Thermos £23.95 470ml. Famous for it's insulating power. Thermos have a range of shapes and sizes online.

6. Zipcup just finished an Indigogo campaign to bring the world a collapsable, portable, reusable cup to save space when it's not being used and can hold 500ml when expanded. For a daily coffee drinker, the Zipcup pays for itself in two months. However, it is not yet available in stores or online, but watch this space.
