It's all about minimising bulk when you go camping, which often means swapping your ceramic mugs for aluminium / enamel / titanium versions. It's all fun and games, but lighter cups tend to get very hot, which often means you end up burning your lips. Ouch.

Don't worry, as Snow Peak, one of the most recognisable outdoor brands from Japan, has the solution – and it's pretty cheap, too. The aptly named Hotlips 2-Piece Set consists of two heat-safe silicone lip protectors that slip onto single-wall mugs.

Upgrade your camping mug for less with Snow Peak's Hotlips 2-Piece Set. These food-grade silicone clips attach to the rim of titanium mugs, protecting your lips from hot metal while adding a splash of colour. At just £4, they're an easy camping essential.

It's a simple yet elegant solution, exactly what I would expect from Snow Peak. It is one of Japan's most respected outdoor brands, renowned for minimalist, beautifully engineered camping gear that blends functionality with timeless design.

Founded in 1958 in Niigata, the company helped pioneer premium "camp life" culture, with products ranging from titanium cookware and Takibi fire pits to technical apparel.

Its focus on craftsmanship, durability and creating meaningful experiences outdoors has earned it a cult following worldwide, including the UK. I sure am a huge fan of the company and adore its products.

Better still, the company has a ton of gear on sale, not just the Hotlips set. The gorgeous Campi Mittens are also half price at £35 (only a few left, though). The Mesh Folding Chair, which looks like a director's chair from a movie set, is also currently 50% off, down to £80.
