If you like to start your day with a bit of building with your caffeine, the Build-On Brick Mug lets you have a different cup of coffee every day.

Well, technically you're always drinking a different cup of coffee anyway, seeing as how, once you drink it, it is no longer the same liquid, and you can't really overlap time. But if using the same old boring coffee cup every day gets you down, the Build-On Brick Mug lets you mix it up, Lego style.

Made of BPA-free plastic, the mug is covered in bumps and divots compatible with Lego, PixelBlocks, Mega Bloks, Kre-O and K'Nex bricks, so you can customise away to your heart's content.

Sounds good, right?

Well, what if you got a little set of wheels and a Mindstorms EV3 brick, and then you could drive your coffee around your desk just using your smartphone?

Or you could even make some sort of ledge sticking out of the side of the cup for your toast or biscuits.

Note: while the mug will hold a hot beverage comfortably, you should probably stick neither mug nor building bricks in the microwave.

You can grab the Build-On Brick Mug for US$19.99 (plus shipping) from ThinkGeek.
