I started not buying any mugs this year!

I personally don’t think it’s necessary to own so many mugs. I used to buy mugs from everywhere, but then I realized it was excessive to keep buying them, especially since I have some mugs I’ve never even used. So, in 2025, I’ve decided I won’t buy any more mugs!

I too have an extensive mug collection, but I love drinking hot coffee and hot tea and a cup (plastic or glass) just doesn't feel right, In my opinion. Mugs are wonderful companions for hot beverages. Now as to your comment.. I have promised myself only one mug a year unless it's on sale or extra unique.
