However, these iconic mugs are now making their way from the campsite to the kitchen and country-themed living rooms all over the country.
To me, these mugs will always be the “camping cup.” I have fond memories of using them on family camping trips, sipping hot cocoa around the fire, and enjoying my morning coffee while taking in the scenic views. But as with any popular item, it’s always interesting to see how trends evolve. And now, these handy campfire cups are being transformed into campfire candles.
