History of the cup

The mug as the perfect gift for everyone

 

The main way to personalise a mug is by writing designs and texts on it.

For example, you can write motivational phrases, photos or drawings or your company logo. This boosts self-esteem, especially if the object is a gift and has a special meaning.

 

Although it is a common object, the mug, the best coffee cup to buy on Gifts-custopolis.com, is a remarkable gift. Our custom mugs are gifts that you can use to please a loved one, friend or colleague. With a little imagination, these personalised mugs can become a source of joy and memories. Indeed, mugs are generally very affordable and easy to obtain.

Our cute mugs are original gifts that can be personalised for the person who will receive it.

A morning coffee and hot chocolate lover would love to have her own unique and inspiring mug. You can have cool coffee mugs : a mug printed with funny jokes or pictures or a mug with a photo.

It is also possible to have something that is particularly appreciated by the individual printed on it. For example, flowers, favourite animals or characters from comics and science fiction or a personal photo to personalise magic mug

Oracle

It can be said that an oracle is someone who calls himself divine and practices divination.Divination is the ability to augur, to predict, to speculate, to foresee events that could happen in the future. The oracle transmitted predictions that are most often peremptory and absolute... The oracles date back to ancient Greece and Zeus was undoubtedly the first oracle in history. By extension, it can be said that the prophets, in the Judeo-Christian tradition, were oracles who brought divine messages from God.

Our game is based on the same principle of transmitting divinatory messages. However, with our Oracle, we talk more about fun than about real divinatory messages. Our Oracle allows you to have fun without any pretension and thanks to chance... The goal here is only to have fun thanks to a big magnetic ball which stops on a funny and not serious answer to a question you ask. Will I win the lottery in the next draw?

Are you finally going to clean your desk? Will I meet the woman of my life? Will I win the most beautiful cat competition? The answers are far from serious. This game is an unusual gift idea, a Kdo idea for a teenager, for the office, an original gift idea for a woman, a man or for whomever you want.

Square cushion with...

How to combine mismatched cushions? 12. Limit the number of mixed cushions. Obviously, the more cushions you mix, the greater the risk of a bad combination! You can limit this risk by limiting yourself to three cushions, for example: one cushion with a small pattern, one cushion with a large pattern and one plain cushion with a particular colour theme. 13. Without resorting to monochrome or cameo, it is possible to harmonise mismatched cushions with colour. How can this be done? By choosing fabrics of the same shade. Dark only, 100% light or pure pastel, a common colour intensity is enough to unite mixed patterns! 14. Use plain cushions to combine mismatched cushions. We don't think plain is necessarily the same as monochrome. To achieve a successful mix of mismatched cushions, you can easily reduce the number of prints: you combine different colours in a theme and place a single matching pattern in the middle. 15. Match the textures of the different cushions. Choose them all in the same or similar material. Choose cushions in leather, fur, velvet, knitwear, lace, and have a family of colours, different sizes, etc. 16. Contrast mismatched cushions with the seat. Mix and match, as long as the intensity of the cushions contrasts with their support. For example: light cushions on a midnight blue armchair, dark cushions on white bed linen! Cushion: essential object, essential to the well-being, to the decoration of all good houses of today and cushions with multiple use and thanks to the team of Gifts-custopolis can be personalised for a birthday: mum's birthday, mami's birthday, dad's birthday or any other birthday to celebrate.

Magic mug with label to...



You would like to offer a magic mug to a loved one and you would like to explain how it works. Here are some explanations on the action of the thermo-reactive paints that cover the magic mug. This action is similar to that of glasses that are automatically tinted (photochromic glasses).  The transformation is due to the tinting activator.


The silver halide molecules in the glasses release metallic silver when exposed to the sun's ultraviolet rays. This component is black and the lenses darken. When UV exposure is reduced or stopped, the silver is absorbed by the halide ions and the lenses return to their original state.

UV radiation therefore changes the structure of certain molecules and affects their optical properties as well as those of the lens itself.


A similar phenomenon can be observed with heat-reactive paints: a molecule used in the paint changes its shape when heated to a certain temperature.


The same effect can be seen in mugs.

So, thanks to this thermo-reactive coating, our magic mugs to which a boiling drink is added can make your text, your image or your photo appear. This happens very quickly. 


However, in order for the mug to fulfil its magical function, it must first be well made and then it is essential to take care of your magic mug, 

A cool magic mug with a label to personalise is an original magic mug idea for any occasion. A custom ceramic magic mug is a great idea. The best magic mug to personalise for your loved ones or to treat yourself, beautifully decorated and enriched with your most loving words or wishes, certainly a cute magic mug.  On Gifts-custopolis.com you will certainly find original magic mug ideas and THE custom coffee magic mug.
