When you have that flu on a cold wet night, what do you do? When you just need a break from the endless paperwork, what do you do? When you wake up every morning, what do you reach for on the breakfast table? It does not matter if it’s coffee, hot chocolate or simply a cup of hot milk, but having a mug of your favorite drink is a must to complete your daily routine. However, we usually do not realize what it is that helps make this moment a good one. It is of course, none other than that favorite mug that each of us definitely own. As we are creatures of habits, we tend to use the same mug every single time we have our drinks, till the mug sees its first crack sign or till it’s broken. However there might be a possibility of getting bored of the same old mug that we use daily. So there we go, searching high and low in that store for a funky new mug. Sad to say however, we always end up seeing those dainty floral pattern mugs or colored mugs, or those “World’s greatest dad!” or “My friends visited New York and all I got was this lousy mug!” types of mugs. Such mugs are so easily available that we begin to wonder, is it that difficult finding a mug that is creative or unique enough to go with our coffee? These days however, you can have your own personalized mug! Whatever you like, you can have it imprinted on your mug, be it a simple phrase from the bible, some cute cartoons, a picture of your sports fan, loved ones, or even a picture of yourself. Creating these mugs is pretty fast with the technology that we have nowadays. Don’t worry, the images imprinted on the mug wont fade as you wash or rinse them, and they will still look the same as the day when you first got them even after years of using them. Besides, these pers
onalized photo mugs are way better in the sense of functionality than those normal picture frames you can get over the counter. Not only they are cute and innovative, you can even use it as decorations as they don’t gather much dust and don’t need regular cleaning. These mugs won’t have you worrying over that t-shirt with your best friend picture on it getting all spun and squished dry when you throw it in a washing machine, and what’s even better is the mugs don’t fade or wrinkle like t-shirts do! These mugs certainly make a great gift whatever the occasion may be – birthdays, weddings or just as a token to celebrate the greatest of friendships. However, in this materialistic world that we live in nowadays, it is important to remember that it is not how expensive a gift is that matters, but rather how personal it is to the person. You can give someone a mug with his or her most favorite moment captured and imprinted on that mug, and that gift will be most appreciated more than an expensive gift. Last time, my dad and I would share a cup of coffee brewed to perfection every morning. These moments definitely meant a lot to us and are a true essence of our relationship. Now that I am out of town, we do miss each other which gave me this great idea of a personalized coffee mug. I had taken a picture of him and me when I was about four years old, on a fishing trip, and put it on an 11oz coffee mug. It’s a great way of reminding him of our special moment together, and when he drinks his favorite cup of beverage, he’ll instantly think of me! It will definitely put a father in a better mood and eliminates the loneliness whenever he’s drinking alone, when he sees the smiling picture of his son. So don’t wait any longer, get your photo mug at the nearest store now! It will definitely bring you new experience with that favorite cup of coffee, hot chocolate or fresh milk of yours.
