Mugs with personal touch

By: Elizabeth Ellis

Mugs or drinking cups are defined by the Oxford English Dictionary as a large round straight-sided cup typically made of earthenware and having a handle. These drinking utensils have been an indispensable part of our lives for centuries, both as a mundane tool for storing and drinking fluids or as significant gifts and even as vessels of religious significance such as the Christians’ Holy Grail or Odin’s Drinking Horn of Norse myth.

Recently the advent of modern thermal printing technology in the field of transfer of photos to ceramics has made it possible to print small batches of personalized photo mugs at low prices, thus giving rise to the possibility of giving personalized photo mugs as gifts for the masses. This technology was previously rather costly. Custom mugs are great for many occasions be it as personal presents to a loved one or as a promotional item for companies for their valued clients or to attract potential clients. Mugs today are available in a wide variety of materials, including ceramic, bone china, earthenware, metal, acrylic, frosted glass, recycled plastic and even treated paper.

People use mugs on a daily basis. Therefore it is a great way of reminding someone you love of how important they are and what they mean to you. It is delightful to use mugs with your favorite images and words of motivation especially at work. A photo mug will also be a great way to promote your company and its product.

A new development in the area of photo mugs, are the color-changing coffee mugs that metamorphoses dramatically when a hot beverage is poured into it. These astonishing mugs make use color-changing or "thermo chromatic" ink that changes color in the presence of hot water inside of them. If you're looking for a unique and romantic gift for your partner, there is no better way to remind them of your love every day! Another beneficial use of these specialized photo mugs is to publicize your company’s motto or merchandise. The clients or customers will be able to see it everyday as they will be likely to use these unique utensils.

When unable to make a decision on what gift or souvenir to give during a special occasion (such as a birthday, anniversary, annual dinner, birthday, baby shower and so on) the perfect choice would be a custom photo mug. Just by changing the photos and wordings on it, the cup automatically becomes suited to the occasion. Think of it as an all purpose all occasion gift at a very small cost. Like a mannequin in a storefront the clothes or in the case of the mug, the wordings and pictures make it relevant to the occasion. These personalized drinking utensils rarely offend the recipient as it is useful and they show that the giver has taken the time and effort to make it special.

Mugs are great for everyday use in the office or at home. Why not add a little something in others’ usual coffee break with personalized photo mugs. That way, presenting gifts will truly be special.
