 Dunkability guide Are you a biscuit dunker and do you have a favourite biscuity tool of the trade? The chances are it could be included on this fab biscuit dunkability mug!
The colourful and fun mug design, which celebrates the highs and lows of dunking different types of biscuits in drinks.
There are 15 favourite biscuit varieties included in the chart on the mug, such as custard creams, bourbon creams, rich tea, choc chip cookies, chocolate fingers and pink wafers (the latter not being the best dunking tool, in our opinion).
A great gift idea or treat for yourself, the dunkability guide mug is £9.99 from Culture Vulture.
If that’s not enough, then you always try the good old Dunk Mug that we featured a while back!

 Contemporary black plate It’s somewhat unusual to find plates that are predominantly jet black in colour, but that’s the case with this one.
The black plate is part of a sophisticated black and white ceramic collection by Miss Blackbirdy (aka Merel Boers).
The jet black of the centre of the plate is offset by a delicate white contemporary floral border design around the edge, which adds just the right amount of colour.
The black flower print porcelain plate measures 16.5cm in diameter and is priced at £7.50 from Liberty. Other coordinating pieces are available.

 World rivers cups and saucers These lovely cups and saucers designed by Snowden Flood celebrate some of the world’s greatest rivers.
Each of the bone china cups and saucers features a different famous river, with the design showing the river from start to finish. To incorporate the whole river, the design runs on both the cups and saucers and they’re very elegantly produced.
Here’s a close up of the Mississippi river cup and saucer:
Choose from the Loire, Mississippi, Nile or Yangtze river, or buy a set of all four.
The world river cups and saucers are available directly from Snowden Flood or via their store on Not On The High Street.
