A Mug of Your Own
You caught the flu bug, and it?s a cold, wet night. You desperately need a break from your work. It?s breakfast time. In all these three situations, what do you reach for?
Regardless whether it is coffee, hot chocolate or a cup of hot milk, that irreplaceable cup of beverage is without a doubt a part of who you are and you cannot possibly go through a day without that gush of hot liquid surging down your throat.
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, 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?
Do you know that now you can create a personalized mug nowadays? If you?d like a simple phrase from the bible, some cute cartoons, a picture of your sports fan, loved ones, or even yourself printed on the mug, now you can! The technology is so advanced nowadays that you can create those mugs in a blink of an eye. The image printed on the mug won?t fade whenever you rinse or wash them, and the images on the photo mugs will stay vibrant like the very first day you got it, even after you use it for 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.
My dad and I used to love to share a great cup of coffee brewed to perfection before we start the day. That short but meaningful moment is the true essence of our relationship. Now that I?m out of town, I miss him as much as he misses me. So, I decided to take a picture which is of him and me when I was around four years old, fishing together, and make it into an 11oz photo coffee mug. This way, whenever he drinks his favorite cup of beverage, he?ll be seeing me and thinking of me and vice versa. Isn?t it always better to share that special experience with someone? When we are alone, the smiling picture of your son will put you into a much better mood and draws out the cold lonely feeling of drinking a cup of hot chocolate on an empty piece of table.
So why wait any longer, get your own photo mug today at your nearest store. It is guaranteed to make that cup of coffee, hot chocolate or fresh milk taste much better than any you have tasted before.
