Ideas for use of Sports Direct Mug

[girliepop]

Such a big ugly mug but with potential, bit like me really. All suggestions welcome. I have enemies if it helps

Love them. Saves me getting up for another coffee.

Tea

The bin. Acceptable in an office for a cab firm or builders yard. But no fucking way would it see the light of day in my house.

Plant pot?

Pen holder

The bin. I am aware this sounds insane but I couldn't enjoy my drink from such a monstrosity.

Make tea in it for the builder or bin men

Never seen one

If you use it for tea or coffee is it not luke- warm or cold by the time you reach the bottom?!

Absolutely no place for it except the bin or maybe a charity shop!

Smashed up and used to line a plant pot

To heat up beans in the microwave

Keep your false teeth in it.

lol. We use it as a pen pot - think it’s in DS’s room.

Toothbrush mug?

You give tea to the bin men?

Absolutely this

Ours is used to store random bits in the cupboard so they don’t get lost or keep falling out. Or to put gravy in at Christmas.

Offer it on FB for free. When no one wants it, bin it with impunity.

The only other thing I can think of is put it inside a tall drawer (so it's hidden) and use it to store spatulas etc upright. Marie Kondo would approve of the upright storage, but would disapprove of keeping something that brings so little joy.

Had to post this

I received one recently with and order and contacted them to ask to return it - not for a refund (it was free) but because I don’t want their clutter in my house and don’t want to go to the effort of finding a way of getting rid of it without it going to landfill.

Their first response was than it was a “thoughtful gift”. I pointed out it wasn’t thoughtful, clearly, since I didn’t want it.

They then said they couldn’t accept a return because it would be dangerous for their warehouse staff to handle ceramics. Clearly they haven’t considered the safety of their customers when sending “dangerous” items without warning.

I accept the level of annoyance I feel is irrational, but I make a deliberate effort to keep my house clutter free and to only have things that I like and are useful in it, plus I don’t have a lot of spare time for donating mugs to charity (as they suggested I do with it).

I plan to hand it over at a Sports Direct shop next time I’m near one.

We use them for chocolate microwave mug cakes, yum!

Give it to me. I covet one. But I have no reason to go to Sports Direct, and I can't find a mug of a similar size. I could use a bucket, but it might make my tea a bit plasticky (or metal-y).

Plant pot for a Runner Bean 😉

Love mine for vats of green tea all day. Keeps me nicely hydrated. If I could find a nice mug same size I would use that instead.

Have a craft session and paint it. Then use it to store pens or make-up brushes?
