The Self-Stirring Camera Lens Mug is just as the name sounds; a self-stirring coffee cup that is able to keep a warm beverage moving while concealing it to look like a photography lens. The design offers a creative mug that is ideal for artists, creatives and photographers alike to use in the morning.

The illusory cup is a thermos mug that features an exterior that is an exact replica of a camera lens with a black design complete with buttons, numbers and dials. The base of the cup is fitted with a battery as to create a constant stirring action inside the mug. A fitted lens cap is also part of the cup's design, to complete the deceiving camera lens appearance. The stainless steel mug keeps beverages incredibly hot or cold.
