Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.

Just an array of mappy mugs. It was a morning for manhattan Vignelli inspired tea.

Gromit (from Wallace and Gromit) showing Bristol street scenes, landmarks and cultural stuff.

Esri always sells drinkware at the User Conference in San Diego with some mappy theme. Just for fun.

Careful to say they brew beside the Thames (in Chiswick) rather than with Thames water though it’s a safe bet they do…with Pride.

As much for the pun “discover wine without parallel” as much as the fact it’s named after the 39th parallel.

Not even sure it’s a map – but it sure looks like a nice city plan.

Contributed by my dog, Wisley, who loves a ball dressed up as a globe. he enjoys gnawing off the countries to get it back to a bare globe, and playing with it in his favourite local park in Redlands.

This is a serious chunk of metal outside an office building.

Seen in a shop – the tube map metaphor extends to hanging up your coats.

The Rubik’s cube was a great toy in the 1980s. Here’s a lesser known version and equally challenging.

A nice ‘here you are’ map in Miami amongst the Art Deco buildings.

Just a mug. Guessing for coffee as they don’t drink tea out these parts.

Artsy world map in the American Airlines lounge at Dallas Fort Worth. If you look hard enough it’s a kind of distorted Mercator projection – very odd. Don’t look too hard though, just head to the bar.

Stopper in a bottle of wine. Often a pointless object – who leaves wine unfinished?
