Cool Gift of the Day

What it is:
A genius travel mug that keeps your drink as hot as can be.
Why we love it:
Commuting isn't fun, it's never going to be fun (well, not until jet-pack technology is perfected, at least). Commuting is, at best, a relatively painless experience, and at worst, a minefield of annoyances and inconveniences. There are pains of commuting which we have come to accept, but there are others that we simply cannot abide. Lukewarm coffee is in the latter category. There's nothing worse than taking a sip of thoroughly room temperature coffee as you inch your way through hellish morning traffic (okay, the traffic itself is worse, but still). Our disgust for cold coffee is beautifully addressed by today's cool gift, a travel mug that plugs into your cigarette lighter and keeps your drink piping hot the whole trip. For commuters, particularly those in cold weather places, this is an invaluable gift. They'll be guaranteed to think of you every time they take a sip of their nice warm no-fat decaf soy vanilla latte.
