Lazy Leaning Mugs

The Lap Mug Sits Perfectly Still on Your Lap

— July 29, 2011 — Unique
It is not an everyday occurrence that most people get to sit down at a cafe or restaurant and enjoy a cup of coffee or tea. Most of the time, it is on the go or while lounging around on the couch at home, and that's where the Lap Mug comes in.

The Lap Mug is conveniently designed so that instead of a flat surface, the bottom of the mug is a small wedge so that it can sit perfectly still in your lap without running the risk of tipping over and spilling a hot beverage all over your clothes.

Whether you want to sip your morning coffee while in bed watching the news or on the couch with a cup of after-dinner tea, the Lap Mug lets you be lazy for a few extra minutes a day. Let's get real, who couldn't use some extra time in bed?
Trend Themes
1. Lap Mugs - The emergence of Lap Mugs represents an opportunity for coffee and tea manufacturers to offer a unique and functional product targeted towards the at-home lounging market.
2. Hands-free Drinkware - The trend towards hands-free drinkware products like Lap Mugs presents an opportunity for companies to create innovative designs that accommodate different types of customers, such as those with disabilities or busy on-the-go lifestyles.
3. Personalized Drinkware - Companies could potentially utilize the Lap Mug design to create personalized drinkware products that match different lifestyles or personality types of consumers.
Industry Implications
1. Coffee & Tea - This new trend represents an opportunity for coffee and tea companies to create new and innovative drinkware that caters to specific customer needs, ultimately improving brand differentiation in the marketplace.
2. Specialty Retail - Specialty retail stores and online marketplaces could capitalize on the unique design features of the Lap Mug to attract customers seeking out-of-the-ordinary gift items or products for personal use.
3. Disability & Accessibility - The hands-free design of Lap Mugs presents an opportunity for manufacturers and retailers to market this product to individuals with disabilities or limited mobility who may struggle with holding traditional drinkware.
