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?
