Fab Five Mugs: Over Ten Pounds
It was only when I was drinking my Earl Grey from my current favourite mug the other day (a West Elm one picked up in the sale a few weeks ago and sadly no longer available, damn it!), that I realised that they they're a pretty particular and personal thing.
My perfect mug, might not be yours, and yours might not be mine.
I once had the father of a friend of Edie's ask for his tea not to be made in the mug I was about to use because he liked them to be white inside (I know). In hindsight, I do actually get that. And I hated those mugs anyway, so....
Anyway, as promised, following on from my current favourite mugs for ten pounds and under, here's my round up of the best five mugs currently available at over ten pounds. It's a bit of a splurge if you want a set of six matching ones (or an actual investment if you like a particular one!), not so much if not. And given, as I said in my last post that you use them every day at least once, if not constantly, I put them in the important purchases category.
Remember, one persons splurge, is another's affordable, which is why I generally try to avoid using that terminology - we're all working to different budgets.

1. Halycon Days Tiger Mug £35 - Harrods *
2. Emma Lacey Everyday Mug £36 - The Conran Shop *
3. Hay Wood Mug £15 - Liberty *
4. Pink Landcape Mug £25 - Reiko Kaneko
5. Gucci Lion Print Hand Mug £225 - Matches *
I know, I know, £225 is quite a lot for a mug, but LOOK AT IT! It's gorgeous! It has a lid! With a hand on it! Just don't smash it okay? And if you buy one/some, can you invite me over for tea? I'll bring the cake...
