There are many items on the market today that allow for personalisation. These items will range anywhere from personalised T-shirts and other clothing to household goods and items. One of the most prolific specialised items is the photo mug. Photo mugs make for excellent gifts and keepsakes. They can be further specialised with a unique message and concept design to make them into intriguing conversation pieces.

Photo mugs are a type of creation that can used for a number of purposes from gifts to unique ways to remember family functions. A series of mugs with images from a favorite family vacation placed on a mug with a design that vividly recalls the spirit of that vacation, such as a seashore theme, can greatly enhance their usefulness. In this way the memories of a family are not placed solely in a scrap book. These images can also be utilized on a day to day basis as an item to contain a tasty beverage. There are few things in life better than a hot cup of tea or coffee in a mug full of good memories.

A photo mug can be utilize for many purposes. A family portrait can be placed on them and they can be sent out in large lots to distant relatives and friends. These items can be used instead of Christmas cards, for instance. Receiving cards and well wishes printed on them during the holidays is a heart warming tradition. However, consider the effect of receiving a Christmas card you can actually drink out of. This will greatly enhance the sentiment of the piece as it will be usable on a regular basis solely because of its utility.

Photo mugs can even be used as a gag gift. By taking a less than attractive picture of yourself, or a friend you intend to actually give the mug too, and placing it on a mug there can be a bit of fun by to be had by then offering it to that friend before saying, “Talk about an ugly mug!”

Photo mugs are useful as drinking vessels, memorable as methods to maintain memories, and thoughtful as a gift. The true beauty of a photo mug cannot be underwritten by price or utility. The beauty of photo mugs come from the act of their creation and the action of giving them. While some might think of it as a strange thing to do it can be quite the romantic gift to place an image of yourself onto a mug and offer it as a gift to a loved one while saying, “Think of me whenever you use it.” or “Now you can hold me whenever you want no matter how far apart we are.”

If you choose to give a personalised mug this year then make sure you get the best possible product by picking the highest quality photos you have. Images that are used with photo gifts should be 300 dpi or greater to ensure a clear and crisp picture on your personalised items.  Products such as personalised mugs and personalised keyrings may be small in size but low quality images can mean a disappointing final product. When selecting your image it is also important to think of the shape of the product being personalised. For example, if you would like a photo wrapped around a personalised mug, the image should be landscape – this means wider than it is tall. If your image is taller than it is wide then it may be best to pick a personalised mug that features the same image repeated on both sides, otherwise your image may appear streched or not fill the whole mug.

Taking all this into account buying a Christmas Mug is still a super simple task. Simply pick your photo, pick your mug, upload your image on personalisedmugs.co.uk, purchase the mug through our secure payment system and wait 1-3 days for your mug to arrive. Keep Christmas shopping simply this year!
