Creating a Stir

Self-Stirring Mugs

Nobody wants to settle.

You reject it in your career (assistant to the assistant to the assistant? No, thank you), your love life (flirting so does equal cheating), and, lately, in your beverages. Seriously, who wants clumps of cocoa resting at the bottom of her cup? Certainly not a go-getting overachiever like you.

But just because you weren’t born with a silver spoon in your mouth doesn’t mean you should have to use a plastic one. Instead, rely on the little propeller in the base of the Self-Stirring Mug to blend milk with coffee, sugar with tea, or hot water with packaged chocolate.

Simply pop some batteries in this stainless-steel vessel and consider your bev hands free (except when you’re sipping, of course). Plus, the lid becomes a coaster, so your drink can hit the spot without leaving one on the table.

Don’t be surprised when word starts to spread about your new toy. Just give your cardboard-cup-carrying friends a warm, satisfied smile.

Then tell everyone to settle down.
