A few weeks ago, my partners at Thermos sent me a Thermos Soup Mug and Thermos Travel Mug.
My kids are all in middle school, and they do not have a microwave in their cafeteria. They are able to bring lunch from home or get a hot lunch.
They primarily get the hot lunch, because it’s the “cool” thing to do, but they’ve figured out which items they like, which they can tolerate, and which they’d rather not eat.
If it’s something they don’t want to eat, they’ve been struggling to come up with ideas for things that sound appealing, and don’t require a microwave to heat up.
When I received the Thermos Soup Mug, there was a battle over who got to use it first.
We came to a resolution, and once the first child used it, declared that his soup was in fact hot and ready at his lunch hour and gave the approval, I ordered two more from Amazon, so we now have three Thermos Soup Mugs.
In the mornings, while they’re getting ready for school and eating breakfast, I’ll heat up some leftover soup on the stovetop. Next, I’ll ladle it into the Thermos Soup Container Mug and screw on the lid to keep it hot and ready until lunch time.
When they’re ready to eat it, they just remove the cap and foldable spoon, scoop some into the lid that serves as a bowl, and voila, they have a hot lunch from home.
Stainless Steel Travel Mug
I kept the Thermos Travel Mug for myself. I adore the cute plaid print, and it does a wonderful job of keeping my drinks hot or cold, depending on the contents.
Living in New England, there is a certain coffee company with a store on practically every block. Here’s a confession. I don’t drink coffee 🙂 I do like hot chocolate, but I’m picky about it, and I prefer to make my own at home.
It’s so much easier (and less expensive!) to make a quick batch at home, and fill up my Thermos Insulated Travel Mug before I head out the door.
I get the taste I want without having to wait in a drive-thru line, and it stays my preferred temperature while I’m on the go.
I also like drinking ice water, even in winter, and I’ve filled up my stainless steel travel mug with ice and water, and it passed that test too!
Typically, I take bottles of water with me, but it’s SO COLD here in the winter, that I’ve had them freeze up on me if I’m away from my vehicle for an extended amount of time. In my Thermos Travel Mug though, the water stayed cold, the ice didn’t melt, and none of it froze up!
While holiday shopping may be over, plan ahead for next year and stock up on these as great gifts for everyone on your list from Genuine Thermos Brand. They’d also make excellent wedding gifts, housewarming gifts, hostess gifts, or graduation gifts.
