Retro Revival: The Craze for the $10 Kmart Glass Mugs
- Replies 3
As we grow older, we tend to develop a special appreciation for nostalgic throwbacks; don't we? Whether it's relishing our beloved childhood TV shows, rediscovering tunes from our past that used to make us groove, or witnessing vintage trends resurfacing, it elicits nostalgia.
These throwbacks transport us to simpler times and evoke warm memories that bring joy to our hearts.
Recently, Kmart captured this mood perfectly when they launched their retro-themed Amber Double Wall Mugs.
We're always on the lookout for products that combine style, functionality, and value for money, and these mugs, priced at $10 for a set of two, tick all the right boxes.
Kmart’s Amber Double Wall Mugs rocketed to stardom on social media, causing quite a stir among online home decor enthusiasts, after a woman shared her delight at owning a pair on a Facebook group dedicated to Kmart fans.
She proudly showed off her mugs filled with steaming hot coffee and posted, 'How stunning are these glass mugs from Kmart?' adding a snapshot of her stylishly arranged mugs on her kitchen counter.
As expected, the response was swift and full of admiration.
One lively member declared, 'Right then, I'm off to Kmart!' while others echoed their appreciation with comments like 'Love them' and 'Oh my goodness, they are beautiful.'
Of course, there's more to a good mug than being easy on the eye, right?
Questions popped up about their size, as it's been noted that double-walled mugs, though chic, often compromise on internal space.
The member who originally posted promptly settled those concerns and reassured the group, 'I thought they looked too small, but they fit exactly the same as my other mugs. Perfect.'
They also stirred nostalgia for several group members, reigniting memories of similar mugs from their childhood.
'These are a flashback; my parents had mugs like that when I was about 6 or 7.' shared a sentimental member.
In the face of such high praise, it was natural that questions about their durability in a dishwasher arose.
Although one member reported some water seeping between the double layers after a dishwasher cycle, another confirmed having put them through the dishwasher without encountering any difficulties.
Despite some minor hiccups, the collective sentiment remained positive.
Even the member who experienced the water seepage issue confessed, 'I love them even though I now just hand wash them.' This is a testament to the absolute charm of these on-trend glass mugs.
However, we recommend some caution. A well-meaning group member warned others, 'The glass broke in mine when pouring in boiling water. I loved them too. Be careful, though.'
For those of you eager to snag a pair (or two!) Kmart's website offers specific guidelines to preserve the longevity of the mugs and prevent any unwanted mishaps, such as avoiding using metal spoons or ice cubes to prevent damage to the inner wall.
