It started as a serious trend report on how handles are no longer the thing on your (hot) drinking receptacles. It evolved into something more special after a conversation about that Mums net story. Without further fuss here’s our 10 best Penis Beakers –  perfect stocking fillers for that special man in your life.

At 10 and 9 for the rustic bearded earth guy…

…beakers by Tim Hurn from The New Craftsmen and Jennifer Lee.

At 8 & 7 for the outdoorsy camping guy, by Falcon Enamelware and by Abbeyhorn from Makers & Brothers.

At 6 for the guy who loves Japanese design, but prefers to buy local, by Devon-based Keiko Hasegawa from Margaret Howell. 

Number 5 for the glitzy guy, the bling man who likes shimmer – by SUS Gallery from Mint and 4 for the understated glamour guy, from French Connection Home.

In at 3 & 2 for the sharp-dressing John Pawson-loving ‘gent’ guy, from Heath Ceramics and Omoi Zakka Shop.
Finally at number 1 for the special, likes to bathe in style and expects a lot to be spent on him guy, oxidised silver and gold-plated copper beakers by Malin Winberg from Sable & Ox (£425 each).

We hope you found this useful.
