Next time you are looking for a cost effective and easy gift for a relative or friend, consider the personalized coffee mug. Here are some customization ideas and options that are worth trying out.
The Picture Mug
You’ve likely seen novelty booths that allow you to make a personalized coffee mug. Unfortunately these rarely turn out well. Instead of having a picture taken on the spot like you would at the DMV, try using a photo of a unique memory or vacation. Put a picture on there that means something to the person for a more meaningful gift.
Today it couldn’t be easier to put your own picture on a personalized coffee mug. Today is the digital age. You can simply upload your favorite picture to one of the websites specializing in personalized coffee mugs. This is a convenient and affordable option for just about anyone.
Not Only Pictures
Why limit yourself to the mugs in the store with generic quotes on them? You can put whatever you like on that mug! Have some favorite song lyrics? Perhaps a little Shakespeare? The options are limitless when it comes to putting words on a personalized coffee mug. Again, many websites will help you layout a thoughtful design for you words. Choose something special for yourself or for a friend or coworker.
Personalized Coffee Mug Art
If you really want to go all out on your personalized coffee mug then try integrating some original artwork. There are many home kits readily available online or even in local stores that allow you create art and insert into a mug with a viewing window. This is ideal for young children or anyone with a creative side and can make an excellent present for a parent or grandparent that will appreciate the effort put in by a cherished child.
For a more professional looking personalized coffee mug, consider finishing a clay mug made in an artist’s studio. Many artists will make you a mug and allow you to stencil on it or decorate it with colorful glazes. They can then fire the clay mug in the kiln and provide you with a beautiful gift.
