For the geekiest person on your holiday shopping list, this Ctrl-Alt-Del Soft Reboot Cup is the perfect choice.

Great for [coffee or tea](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cuptone-teacup), the cups in the set are shaped like the Ctrl, Alt, and Del keys on your computer. A matching tray with a [circuit board pattern](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minitoo-retro-pc-style) is included in each Ctrl-Alt-Del Soft Reboot Cup Set, which is available in black and white.

The set is actually kind of cute, as far as [geeky kitchenware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mario-mug) goes!
