What Mug?

Periodic Table Mug

For many of us, the periodic table is something we had to endure for a few years at school and have never had to think about it since, except for when trying to answer a question whilst watching Mastermind. But there are those amongst us - let’s call them geeks - who may have a fascination with the periodic table. If you are one, or know one, this mug which displays the full periodic table from Heals could make a great addition to the kitchen cupboard.

Other likely candidates for this mug include science teachers and indeed, GCSE pupils! It’s available for £6.50 from Heal’s.

Grumpy Old Man Mug

Grumpy Old Men was a hit TV show and gave men of a certain age the chance to be grumpy and proud. It let them positive affirm their grumpiness without shame or embarassment. That show has inspired a range of licensed products, including this: The Grumpy Old Man mug. This mug, currently costing under a fiver at Amazon, is perfect for the grumpy old man in your life.
