Design of the Week (No.9)

Stir-ring my imagination this week is:

(No.9) Creature Cups

It's been more than several weeks since my last 'Design of the Week'. For this I apologise. I went on holiday in October, got food poisoning, had a nasty incident with lawyers and turned 30, so I hid myself in a cupboard for 3 months. 

But I'm back! (hooray!...) and here's my favourite design this week; the Creature Cups (click to enlarge).

These little critters are great fun! I'd love to try them out on my gran: 

Me - "Here you go love, a lovely steaming hot brew. I've put two sugars in it just like you like it. I love you Nan..."

Nan - "Oh you are a dear, you've always been my favourite..."

"You do know I'm diabetic?..."

(Sip, Sip, Sip)

"Arrrgggghhhh! What the what?!!" (Nan collapses) 

Only joking! But it would be ace to prank people. My favourite has to be the Octopus - please feel free to buy it for me (they retail at around £10). Sadly the cups don't come with a saucer (not very British) but this can be forgiven as the designers, known as 'Yumi-Yumi', are based in Brooklyn!

So, kudos to you 'Yumi-Yumi', I love 'em!
