This delightful mug design by Sabrina Fossi allows [coffee and tea drinkers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/temperature-control-smart-mug) to keep their hands extra toasty while enjoying their beverage of choice. At first glance these cleverly designed mugs look almost like small bowls, but in actuality the sides of this sleek mug have been hollowed out to perfectly fit a pair of hands.

This is the perfect mug to use on cold winter nights while you sit by the fire. Sabrina Fossi has aptly named this design the 'ToastyMug.' The hollowed out hand spaces help to keep in the heat from coffees and teas, which makes this mug a better [hand-warmer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magnetic-hand-warmers) than almost any [set of gloves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fingermittens) on the market.

This chic and functional kitchen accessory is perfect for ladies who can't go a day without their coffee.
