I have saved for what I love.
Royal Doulton mugs..
Personally I can't stand the weight of the 'cute' types, and when you drink out of them, they are so thick around the mug or cup.Spoils a good drink.
I have also good cutlery, because it is just something that makes a meal.
We use ours each meal, and no regrets for the last ten years, and non broken.
Thank goodness :)
