I’ve never been a big Jamie Oliver fan. Just so I don’t get bombarded with hate email, let me add that it’s not because I don’t like him. It’s simply because I’ve never really taken the time to watch him in action.

I have to tell you though; I absolutely LOVE his line of Bottoms Up Mugs… so much so that I plan on purchasing several of them to give as holiday gifts. Remember, it’s NEVER too early to start shopping.

As you can see in the photo, what makes these mugs unique is their bottoms. (It’s probably fairly obvious by their name.) They are geared toward men. However, a couple of them are suitable for women, as well.

I adore the color combination of blue and brown that was chosen for this particular line. (Secretly, I won’t be 100% satisfied with my life until my kitchen has been painted these two colors.)

The mugs, crafted by Royal Worchester, will accommodate 11 oz of java or your favorite beverage. They are dishwasher and microwave safe.

Each one comes in a gift box that enables you to read the entire saying, without removing it from the package. Two of my favorites are ‘Hot ‘n Steamy Like Me’ and ‘I’m Cooking You’re Cleaning Up’.
