Coffee bean cuff links? Lap and knee mugs? What?

While researching the Holiday Gift Guides, I came across some rather unusual coffee products, but nothing that compares to what I saw at Uncommon Goods.  I’ve come across some great gifts there, but that’s the first time that I’ve spotted any coffee related items there.

I know that for most people, the holiday shopping season is probably over, but I couldn’t wait until next year to share them with you.

What’s the most unique coffee item that you’ve come across?

Coffee Bean Cuff Links

I don’t wear cuff links often, but I do have a couple of cuff link shirts and I’m certain that these would look amazing on me. I’m just saying.

These coffee bean cufflinks are made from the molds of real coffee beans cast in solid sterling silver. An artist named Amy Pfaffman specializes in turning everyday objects into functional art and these coffee bean cufflinks are the perfect way to enjoy that morning tradition all day long.

Knee And Lap Coffee Mugs

These aren’t your average, every day coffee mugs and don’t even think about trying to rest it on the table. Resist the urge to live dangerously!

Turn that underutilized lap or knee into a cup holder with the help of these cleverly designed ceramic nestling mugs. Perfect for cozy couches, comfy chairs and messy desks – when a resting place for your drink is nowhere in sight.

As an added bonus, they have a couple of coffee treats.

The Roboostas is robusta coffee mixed with chocolate and the Java Rocks is finely ground coffee mixed with cocoa. I think both would satisfy my sweet tooth.
