I had a little accident with my husbands fav cup. Does anyone know where I can buy anything similar?

I'm pretty sure I had this mug in the 90s, seems familiar ; thanks for the nostalgia hit!

I feel like someone sent off coupons from the back of cereal packets. It a very specific feeling.

I have the red Mickey Mouse version, definitely bought it from a shop, just can't remember which one.

You've done him a favour! Time to get some grown up matching mugs

As a husband who’s wife has broken many a favourite cup. I just learnt to move on each time cos she clumsy af.

I feel seen! He doesn’t move on easily, but he is trying to, bless him.

As someone of the autism committee, I understand how critical this could be. My people are extremely serious about our cups, mugs, cutlery.

[-]

Icy-Hippopotenuse@reddit (OP)

It’s not something that goes away after childhood! (I have been told that all my life)

[-]

Can find the mug pretty easy on ebay. Cup was made by Kilncraft

Icy-Hippopotenuse@reddit (OP)

Thank you, unfortunately eBay/online isn’t possible. I doubt they deliver to the hotel! I will try and find something similar in the shops.

[-]

Carvery@reddit

You can have it delivered to a locker nearby. There’s plenty around. I use one called inpost.

[-]

nathderbyshire@reddit

I'd much prefer it but I rarely seem to be given the option. It's either a shop or home delivery. The only time I really get lockers is when it's smaller and shipped with InPost

[-]

Icy-Hippopotenuse@reddit (OP)

Thanks I didn’t know that was an option

[-]

CalderThanYou@reddit

Lots of delivery companies deliver to post offices, parcel shops and lockers. You don't need to have an address. How long are you in the UK?

[-]

Time-Caterpillar4103@reddit

Any decent hotel manages residents mail (for a fee) and I doubt eBay would have any problems with it.

[-]

Robtimus_prime89@reddit

Is click and collect possibly an option? Some of the sellers offer it, and you BBC old get it delivered somewhere near your hotel.

[-]

doomsdayKITSUNE@reddit

I don't have much to offer in the form of help, but it's fascinating how so many people have a favourite cup or mug. I have a whole cupboard full of mugs, but I have to use the same one every time.

[-]

Poo_Poo_La_Foo@reddit

I tried to make myself a coffee at my parents house recently and my dad made a sharp sucking in noise and alerted me to the fact I was using my mother's coffee mug. And there would be trouble.

[-]

MattGeddon@reddit

So it’s true. I heard the rumours. I’m so sorry about your… mug, u/DungasForBreakfast

[-]

jennyquackles@reddit

There's a few on eBay. There's this one and if you search the title you'll see more. https://ebay.us/m/Dy4qeZ

[-]

Icy-Hippopotenuse@reddit (OP)

Wow I never thought of eBay, because I live overseas I have no way to get it delivered in time unfortunately.

[-]

ThomasEichorst@reddit

Go on a side quest to Brighton or Basildon and collect from one of these sellers

[-]

barkyr2112@reddit

Basildon in particular is always a great place to visit anyway

[-]

Substantial_Camel233@reddit

that exact one they sent said delivery between 2-3 days, how long are you here for?

[-]

Icy-Hippopotenuse@reddit (OP)

I am there till Tuesday, seems a bit tight time wise. However, I am possibly too used to the super slow Italia post

[-]

ithepinkflamingo@reddit

Are you in London? Both are very possible to get to from there!

[-]

fickle_tartan@reddit

Will none of them ship to where you live?

[-]

jennyquackles@reddit

How long will you be in the UK for? Sometimes you can get them delivered to a shop or locker in a couple of days.

[-]

Longjumpin-2816262@reddit

That’s your good deed done for the day

[-]

Mother_Ad7869@reddit

I was looking on Ebay to buy all the available ones for a hefty ransom, but there's loads! Hope you get one, OP...and hubs doesn't notice 😆

[-]

Icy-Hippopotenuse@reddit (OP)

Well you buy it from eBay and I will pay for shipping to Italy haha.

[-]

AClockworkLaurenge@reddit

You can buy international items from Italian eBay. This one says shipping from the UK to Italy is €3, so the item plus shipping would be <€10: https://www.ebay.it/itm/397596882858

[-]

Icy-Hippopotenuse@reddit (OP)

It says €15.71 postage for me. EBay can be hit and miss here. Thanks for looking. I get different results when I search.

[-]

Mother_Ad7869@reddit

I was just googling the mug and maker and I think they were made at a pottery factory 8 miles from my house in Staffordshire I am currently sat in lol! 🤗🤯☕️

[-]

ParkingAnxious2811@reddit

A cup? Yes, you can buy them in almost any supermarket

[-]

RugbyEdd@reddit

Seems an extreme measure to get a free mug.

[-]

Icy-Hippopotenuse@reddit (OP)

It looks like postage will be the killer either way.

[-]

handtoglandwombat@reddit

Personally think this piece would look really cool with kintsugi

[-]

general_adm_aladdeen@reddit

This is was what I was about to suggest, I just had no idea what is it called (thanks btw :) It does not have to be gold, I guess silver works just as good.

[-]

handtoglandwombat@reddit

No it has to be gold. I want it to look as mad as possible.

[-]

Brave_Assumption6@reddit

George (Asda) always have Disney-themed mugs available!

[-]

Icy-Hippopotenuse@reddit (OP)

Thanks I think there is an Asda close by the hotel, I will check them out

[-]

cobbs_spinning_top@reddit

Look at this product that I found on google.com https://share.google/gav71B730M2eSMc12

How about this?

[-]

Icy-Hippopotenuse@reddit (OP)

That’s nice, eBay isn’t doable this trip unfortunately

[-]

either way can you not glue the pieces back together to keep as a decorative item rather than a functional cup? i’ve done this in the past cause i’d rather have it slightly broken than lose it completely

[-]

buy_me_lozenges@reddit

This cup is from the 80s, there are a couple on eBay, search for Kilncraft.

[-]

Icy-Hippopotenuse@reddit (OP)

Thank you for the manufacturer

[-]

tykeoldboy@reddit

Have you tried match.com? Oh! you mean a new cup :D. If this an old cup that cartoon design might no longer be available
