Keeping a set place for your keys prevents them getting misplaced and possibly causing you to be late for work or school.

Unique Uses For Your Mug Tree #5: Housewarming Gift. You can present a fun and functional Housewarming gift with a mug tree and colorful coffee mugs. After purchasing a mug tree, choose six interesting coffee mugs. If you know the gift recipient's color scheme in the new kitchen, you can purchase mugs that will match the decor. If not, choose mugs that reflect your friend's or relative's personality and taste. After unpacking the mug tree, wash the new coffee mugs thoroughly and place on the mug tree.

You can hang a small card from one of the posts of the mug tree with a ribbon thread through a hole punched through the envelope. You can now present a fun and unique housewarming gift that can immediately be placed in the kitchen and put to good use. Just be careful when transporting the mug tree gift to your gift recipient's new home that the mugs do not fall off and break. To ensure the gift's safe arrival, you can loosely wrap the entire gift with strong wrapping paper and tie the ends of the paper with a bow on top.

Pick up a extra mug tree or two at your local department store where kitchen accessories are sold. Instead of just using them to store your everyday coffee mugs, think outside the box and use them for one of these unique ways or create your own.
