Think outside the mug


With the big push on going green in the past year, many people are rearranging their lives to do their part and better the environment. Recently, reusable grocery bags have become popular, which begs the question: what else can be re-used?

A new product by D?(c)cor Craft Inc, called "Not A Paper Cup," provides all coffee and tea drinkers with an eco-friendly alternative to the Styrofoam and paper cups that litter their desks and cup holders.

The mug holds 12 ounces of any liquid but is ideal for hot beverages, since the double-walled body and silicon lid keep hot drinks at their hottest for a longer period of time.

The ceramic, double-walled mug resembles a Styrofoam coffee cup from any normal coffee shop.

Instead of Styrofoam, however, recipients get an environmentally-friendly, dishwasher-safe and reusable mug that saves money and cuts down on harmful Styrofoam and paper products.

The mug generally falls in the $18 to $20 range.

The only drawback to the mug is that it comes only in white, but it's easy to clean and not easily stained.

This gift is perfect for any coffee drinker looking to do their part in going green.
