Dec 13, 2024

Whether you’re a fan of hot chocolate with marshmallows or you prefer it via Peppermint Mocha lattes, there’s no wrong way to celebrate hot cocoa day! We’re celebrating with another great gift guide, and we’ve got to say – these have been a lot of fun to assemble for you this year! Today’s gift guide is all about the best travel mugs on the market for commuters and travelers to keep your iced coffee as cold as the Arctic and your cocoa as hot as the fires of Mordor. You’ll also find a variety of shapes, sizes, colors, and price points to match just about every gift giving budget from frugal to splurges.

The Commuter Cup by Corkcicle is cupholder friendly, has a non-slip bottom, swiveling spill resistant lid, is ceramic coated for insulation and protective barrier from the stainless steel interior, and keeps your drinks hot for 5 hours. We also love that it comes available in a wide range of colors to suit everyone on your gifting list!

This LL Bean Insulated XL Mug comes in 6 different colorways to match your rugged outdoor gear. We love the leak resistant press fit lid, and the fact that its easy to hold handle is elevated high enough for it to still fit in most vehicle cupholders. Plus, it conveniently keeps your drinks hot or cold for up to 7 hours.

The Owala Coffee Tumbler is an all-year option that keeps cold beverages chilled for up to 24hrs and hot beverages insulated for up to 6hrs. It is cupholder friendly, has a stainless steel interior, leakproof slider lid and splash-resistant lid. It is readily available in multiple color options.

The Zojirushi Stainless Steel Vacuum Insulated Mug comes in more than a dozen colors and three convenient size options (12oz, 16oz, 20oz). It comes with an impressive 5 year warranty on heat retention, and keeps your drinks warm up to 5 or 6 hours. It’s also quite affordable and accessible via Amazon.

The BurnOut Temperature Regulating Mug comes in two colors and 16oz capacity, and was designed by Rocket Scientists (literally!) This engineered mug perfectly cools your hot drinks down to a drinkable temperature and maintains that temperature. It’s got a springloaded lock button so you can text in one hand and open your coffee in the other, talk about convenience! It’s a great mid-range price point option.

The GO Heated Mug by SmrtMugg is a budget-friendly rechargeable heated coffee mug comes in 5 different colors, offers a magnetic charge cable, can hold about 13 ounces, and keeps your drink in the perfect temperature zone for up to 90 minutes.

If you’re looking to splurge on yourself or a special someone, we think the Ember Travel Mug 2+ is going to be the perfect choice. You can set your preferred heat level, and the battery operated heating element will keep your drink perfectly warmed to your specifications. The Ember App even allows you to adjust and monitor your beverage and remotely adjust the temperature as you see fit. Constantly losing your mug at home or in the office? This mug has even got its own Apple Find My tracking capability, so you’ll always know where your beverage is! It can’t be microwaved and must be hand washed, but we think the convenient trade off of a perfect temp beverage all day every day is worthwhile.
