What about a tiny lazy susan, with velcro glued to it and velcro sewed to the mug holder? Some crafty lady could make them. Just use a router to make a deep circle in it, then fill it with steel marbles and put a bottom on it with small lifters less high than the marbles. Paint first.

Found a link to the pattern number:

Hancock Fabrics or Hobby Lobby usually run patterns on sale for a couple of dollars.

That sure is a pretty and very practical gift, and I'd like to make one for me. I also have far too many coffee mugs, some of which are man sized.

I vowed never to make anything but quilts as my attempts at all else were met with failure. However, this is so cute and looks easy enough... I am going to attempt. thanks for the idea and those who provided links
