I do. My husband has put a limit on them, though. I started to get a bit crazy. :lol:

no, but I always have my own special mug (until it breaks). at the moment it's a cadbury's one from an easter egg. just the right diameter for biscuit dunking.

I buy vintage Santa Claus face cocoa mugs. They were very cheaply made and seldom survive in good condition, but I have about a dozen now. Thing is, I started "collecting" so long ago I can't remember if one of them is my own childhood mug, or if trying to replace that mug is how I got started in the first place.

Otherwise, I buy plain mugs in attractive or unusual colors. A set of Corning mugs in a deep coral is my favorite and is used every day.

I have a few mugs that I like a lot. I enjoy having momentos of trips which I use regularly, or mugs that I receive by supporting causes.

I have some really awesome mugs from the 50's, and 60's I use. My mom grew up with them, and I'm privileged to use them too
