"Final resolution? Drink less and understand what on earth a 'unit' is. Easy peasy with the AlcoholOmeter glass, which carries markings that display the number of units at varying strengths. Make's it a doddle to keep an eye on one's booze consumption. Perhaps not a good look in the pub though. Strictly for home use only"

Taste Explosion and the Knuckle Duster Mugs are featured in House & Home this month.

Next selected the CuppaCan, Taste Explosion and Knuckle Duster MUG! as 3 must have gifts this Christmas.

Recoil, the brand new quarterly magazine, features the MUG in it's first ever issue.

The first ever knuckle duster MUG! was originally covered in blood splatter (well, not real blood splatter of course, that would be unhygienic), but we decided it was too gory to release as our first ever product.

Now, however, we get so many emails from people asking if we can make the bloody mug a reality (you sick people), we thought what the HELL, why not... So here it is. The limited edition blood splattered mug - For that Killer cup of coffee. Mwahahahaha

Introducing CuppaCan, the mug that keeps your hot drinks hot while making you look cool and refreshed!

Like the Mood Mugs, CuppaCan is manufactured with double wall insulation meaning htere is a pocket of air between you coffee and your had. This eliminates the need for a handle! CuppaCan also has a removable lid which keeps your coffee in your mug and off your keyboard.

Bespoke black & gold Knuckle Duster MUG! designed for Rockstar Games to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of Grand Theft Auto.

Shortlisted for 'Gift of the Year 2010' by the Giftware Association, the Buckle Up Key Holder is a great idea for those of us who sometimes misplace our keys. Produced from discontinued car seat belt buckles, they can be mounted to the wall either by screws or the adhesive pad that's provided. A funlate eco-christmas gift for petrol heads.

Q. My Husband is forever losing his car keys. I am looking for a clever way to make sure he finds them where he left them.
A. The Buckle Up Key Holder is part of a key ring you can attach to his keys and when he comes home he clips it to the wall like a seat belt. Genius!

The Japanese really seem to love our quirky designs. Our Seat belt buckle key holder was recently featured on the gadgets section of a prime time show in japan.

Seatbelt keychain holder cleverly hangs your keys on the wall.

"It's tough to not like clever repurposed gadgets like this, especially when it would be so easy to do yourself. My one question: can the keychain double as a bottle opener? If so, I'm sold."

"Emotional Tea

Pick a mug to reflect your mood with these insulated porcelain mugs. Kitchen Genius."

"Today's buy comes from Thabto, whose design philosophy is "two heads are better than one". We couldn't agree more. This playful gadget, ideal for car lovers, uses seatbelt technology to ensure that your house and car keys are never lost again. It can be mounted to the wall in an appropriate place and offers a safe place for your keys. It's undoubtedly more convenient than down the back of the sofa or hidden in the wasteland that is the depths of your handbag."

After well over a year of trying to source a suppier for the Buckle Up Key Holder, we have finally got them in.
Produced from discontinued seatbelt buckles, this wall mounted key holder makes the perfect eco gift for anyone that keeps losing their car keys. Packaged in 100% recycled card.

Buckle Up - Keeps keys safe

"I had 26 units of beer last night!
Thanks to the clever chaps at THABTO, you can now measure every unit of booze in your drink. Cheers!"

These quality glasses have clever markings that tell you exactly how many units of alcohol is in your favorite beer, lager or wine. Probably not something you'd buy for yourself, unless you're a cautious drinker, or want a competition with your mates to see who can drink the most (We don't recommend that), instead they are the perfect quirky gift for anyone that likes a drink!

What's in your drink?

The Knuckle Duster Mug, Tom, Dick & Harry and Taste Explosion have been featured in a new book from Artpower International Publishing; Pack Your Life, which looks at clever packaging design.

Mood mugs are a a range of insulated porcelain mugs designed with simple facial expressions to reflect your mood, including Happy as Larry, Seriously Sleepy and Monstrously Moody. These mugs have been cleverly engineered to eliminate the need for a handle by using double walled porcelain to keep your drink warm and your hand cool.

The Wonkey table wedge was featured in Zoo magaine this month:
"Winner of our new unofficial never-to-be-repeated genious gadget of the week."

"If you're one of those people that always finds themselves lumbered with THAT dodgy table in every pub or restaurant you go to, then this little things a godsend. Just whack it under the offending table leg, stabilising your pint and shot glasses."

We're excited to announce that both the WonKey & the Buckle Up Key Holder have been shortlisted for the prestigious Gift of the Year awards 2010.

The WonKey has been selected for the Hot Product Of The Year and the Buckle Up Key Holder has been shortlisted for both Hot Product Of The Year and Eco Gift Of The Year.

WonKey is the answer to the hundreds and thousands of wobbly tables out there. Simply un-hook it from your keys and slip it under a wonky table to keep it stable

Thabto's Mood Mugs feature simple graphics in moods to reflect Happy as Larry, Monstrously Moody and Seriously Sleepy.
