Guitar Headstock Mugs
Invisible Friend has designed this set of four Guitar Headstock Mugs.
Each of the mugs feature illustrations of iconic guitars: Fender Telecaster, Gibson Les Paul, Fender Stratocaster and Rickenbacker 330. They are recreated in bright pop art colours against a neutral background. An ideal way for a budding guitar hero to take his (or her) tea.
The set of four mugs costs £29.50, available exclusively from Not on the High Street.
Debenhams Heritage home accessories range
If you like the style of Cath Kidston or Lisa Stickley, your fancy might well also be taken by the Heritage home accessories range, new in at Debenhams.
The range covers everything from mugs and side plates pictured to oven gloves and storage jars. Each item is decorated in the same college style way: pretty florals shown alongside printed bits of paper to give a vintage feel.
Prices start at £5 for the jars.

Eames House of Cards mugs
Though you won't perhaps get the reference at first glance, this new range of mugs uses images from Ray and Charles Eames's House of Cards.
The House of Cards was devised by the couple in 1952 and involves a series of cards that slot together. The images on the cards were taken from their own collections and were intended to be a nostalgic look at the everyday. It's those photographs which have been used to decorate this collection of mugs which are colourful and eye-catching in their own right.
The mug above shows a selection of pills while other designs feature things like cotton reels and crayons. The images were all intended to look good together, so buy a selection and your kitchen shelf will reap the rewards.
The mugs cost £14.10 each.

People Will Always Need Plates “Looking Up In London” Range
A new range from People Will Always Need Plates is always welcomed and their new “Looking Up in London” collection is in their quintessential style.
Printed on ceramic mugs, the illustrations are of well-known architectural landmarks, but from the perspective of someone at street level looking up. Choose from the Post Office Tower, Battersea Power Station, 1 Canada Square or Centrepoint.
The mugs cost £10 each from the People Will Always Need Plates website.
Cole of London’s London mugs
More products celebrating London, though Cole of London's London mugs are a quirky take on the trend.
There are four mugs available, each featuring a different London landmark – pick from Trafalgar Square, Buckingham Palace, Tower of London or the Houses of Parliament. Each place is depicted in a sketchy style which contrasts to the official looking title and facts that are listed on the side of each mug. It's a style that's reminiscent of the work of Royston Cooper, who produced many travel advertisements in the 50s and 60s – and that's a very good thing indeed.
Made from bone china, the mugs cost £10 each.
