The Quirky MugStir is a spoon that hugs the side of a mug or cup when not in use. The spoon has a curved, rubber coated handle and is intended to replace communal work and disposable plastic spoons in a way that is easy to keep at a work desk. Because the MugStir hangs on the cup, it can be positioned so it won't drip on your desk and it can be left in place while drinking.
The crowdsourcing designers at Quirky have put their latest product up for pre-sale in packs of 3 for $7.50 US with free shipping. Once a sufficient number of pre-orders are received, the MugStir will go into production.
