Guest Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 Belated Happy New Year wishes to everyone! Does anyone know where we can buy plastic cups or mugs with handles? How done a "Mr Google" search without much success! Hopefully someone can help. Oh and OFSTED looming Thanks Bren
AnonyMouse_19762 Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 Hi - mine came from 'Whittards' - but that was many moons ago........they are really good - very wide - therefore less likely to spill if you see what I mean...........wonder if they still do them........
AnonyMouse_3735 Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 and ours from the poundshop.. again wide at the bottom.. they still have them occasionally... or look in supermarkets at picnic items.. we had some melamine ones which were good one year from there (may be a bit early though)

Didn't Whittards go out of business last year?
AnonyMouse_19782 Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 Have I missed something as usual - do the children have to have cups with handles now?
AnonyMouse_19762 Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 Didn't Whittards go out of business last year? No.......at least......I don't think so...... Have I missed something as usual - do the children have to have cups with handles now? No.....at least.........I don't think so
AnonyMouse_13453 Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 (edited) I've had a few lots over the years from ebay. They are melamine ones with handles - I'll have a look on there for you 20 of these? Edited January 20, 2011 by Cait
AnonyMouse_3735 Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 just a point of interest.. Whittards went into administration when the Iceland banks had their crisis.. but were sold off and closed about a third of their chops.. but they are still there and supposed to be recovering ..
AnonyMouse_13453 Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 'Chops'? Inge - what you having for supper?
AnonyMouse_3735 Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 comes of typing in the dark..and not checking before posting.. or even after come to that .!! of course I meant shops and no chops here.. chilli and rice tonight...

AnonyMouse_3139 Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 We need some too, I believe Hope have some but they were about £50 for a pack of 50. We dont need that many and dont really have that to spend so any more ideas anyone?

Guest Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 Thank you for replies. The cups are for the children. We find ones with handles are good for the younger children who are learning how to drink from cups. Will keep searching!! Bren
AnonyMouse_12960 Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 (edited) Our children use a version of these from Baker Ross. We've had ours for more than 10 years now, so do last. Baker Ross Small plastic mugs Ours are the Jungle Chums type. Edited January 21, 2011 by eyfs1966
SueFinanceManager Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 For plastic beakers non handles and jugs Ikea takes some beating if you are near one.....Happy Maz is the Ikea expert so she may know if they have handled ones (sorry Maz if I just let everyone know about your Ikea habit )
AnonyMouse_8466 Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 (sorry Maz if I just let everyone know about your Ikea habit ) Just so long as you keep that other thing secret, that's fine Sue. As far as I'm aware Ikea don't do children's cups with handles, I'm afraid. I'll have a look when I'm there next!

Guest Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 Thank you EYFS1966, have just checked out mugs from Baker Ross and these will be perfect! Bren
AnonyMouse_19782 Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 They look great - but with our children they would all be arguing over who's having the tiger, or the crocodile etc. we have even had to take out the pink Ikea cups from our selection because they caused so much hassle
AnonyMouse_3735 Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 we had to do similar with plates.. no pink ones... always reminds me of the child we had who would not sit on a chair unless the colour was the same as his jumper... was fine to begin with but became a bit obsessive and cause no end of issues.. we spent about a week watching him arrive and then removing all the chairs that colour, if they were not there he did not bother! now back to plastic cups with handles
