A Mug of Your Own

You’re down with the flu bug on a cold, rainy night - what do you do? Your work is driving you nuts, and you desperately need that break, so what do you do? And what is that thing that you reach for every morning on the breakfast table?

Drinking a cup of beverage, be it coffee, hot chocolate or simply a cup of hot milk, is just one of those things that you do as part of your daily routine.

However, many of us have forgotten the other part which completes this special moment. That favorite mug of ours which have been stained by our lips, cleaned with water and again re-stained by our lips again. We human are creatures of habits. If you would notice, we would be using the same mug every time and would not part with it until the day it breaks or show signs of cracks.

However, we do get bored of using the same mug over and over again. So we hit the stores to search for that perfect mug to kick start our day. Although we are fully motivated to get some new funky mugs, eventually we will always end up looking at rows and rows of dainty floral patterns or one colored mugs. Alright, let us try the kids section instead. What do we see? “World’s greatest dad!” “My friends visited New York and all I got was this lousy mug!” Ah! The joy of living in a clichéd world. Is it so hard to search for something creative and unique just so we can enjoy that cup of coffee?

What if I told you that you are now able to create a mug personalized according to your liking? May it be a simple phrase from the bible, some cute cartoons, a picture of your sports fan, loved ones, or even you! The search is over! Technology these days are so frighteningly advanced that you can create these mugs in a blink of an eye. The quality of the imprinted photos does not fade with every rinse and wash. Trust me, these photo mugs still retain their vibrant image exactly like the day you got it although it has been coated with enormous amount of saliva and soap over the years.

Besides, these personalized 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.

It used to be a favorite habit of my dad and I every single morning, to share a great cup of coffee brewed to perfection which gave us a real meaning to our relationship. We do miss each other now that I’m out of town, which gives me this fantastic idea to take a picture of him and me on a fishing trip together when I was four years old, and put it on an 11oz coffee mug. When he takes a sip out of his favorite drink, we will think of me and be reminded of what a great time we had together on that fishing trip. Any father would be delighted, and perhaps lessen the loneliness that are felt whenever they are drinking a cup of hot chocolate alone, and a smiling picture of his son might just be the trick to cheer him up.

Don’t wait any longer, go get your photo mug now! Easily available at the local store these days, it would definitely make your coffee, hot chocolate or fresh milk taste much better than ever before.
