Royal mugs are where it’s at! Not last Christmas but the one before I bought one of my sisters a selection mugs featuring the royal family as a Christmas present. The credit crunch had just hit and I was looking for creative and thrifty way to buy gifts that year. After giving it to her, to my horror she couldn’t hide the disappointment on her face and said “oh no karen these are so wrong, I don’t have a cabinet and I am not into displaying things and letting them gathering dust” Once I explained the concept behind the gift that they are not for display and are not for best but for everyday normal best, she got it! I recently found another 6 royal mugs for my own use at a boot sale in Surrey. I bought them for a £1 each from a boot seller who told me he had another 38 boxes of a collection to sell. So I say go buy royal mugs for a pound and have tea with the queen and the royals for everyday best!
