Some gadgets just make me grin.
Perhaps it is their uniqueness; their originality; the fact that they blend something useful with something entertaining. The reasons can indeed be various but my current favourite definitely combines both originality and usefulness.

I am, in the first instance a confirmed coffee drinker. If the doctors told me I had more coffee than blood in my veins, I’d not be in the least bit surprised!
I also like doodling. It kicks off my creative juices quite nicely and what can start off as a bunch of squiggly lines can eventually transpire into something vaguely recognisable – to me, at least.
Nice pig, Alex.
It’s a horse.

To allow me to indulge in both delights (coffee and graffiti), along came the Graffiti Mug – an excellent little gadget. It’s a coffee mug with a Graffiti Wall coating, supplied with 3 pens (Black, Pink and Green) and you can doodle away until your heart’s content. I discovered my whiteboard markers also work well on it too – although perhaps wouldn’t have done on the next step...

If you find yourself creating an absolute masterpiece of graffiti you need never lose it. You only need to pop the mug carefully into the oven, bake it for a short while and voila, your image is permanently captured.
For a rather funky and unusual gift that will appeal to the geek in most, this makes an ideal gift.
Would I buy one – yep and not just for myself but for friends too.
