Some of the most quiet moments are often the most difficult after a loss. Mornings, late nights, time alone. These are reflective moments that can bring thoughts of joy along with the heartbreak.
Do you sometimes yearn to have one more cup of coffee or tea with your loved one who has died? You can’t bring him or her back, but you can keep the memories warm and close by creating a custom photo mug. Start each day with your favorite photo and encouraging words in hand. A custom mug can be the perfect accompaniment to motivate you for your morning writing routine! Using your images or an inspiring saying that evokes a happy memory, mugs also make a great gift to commemorate dates or let someone know you are thinking of them and their loved ones.
With the SFH exclusive My Storybook Publisher you can make and order your photo mug online in a matter of minutes. It’s quick and easy! Take the video tour to see for yourself.
Here are some ideas for getting started on your project:
- Use your favorite photo and a caption. Don’t forget your photos on your wall – either in your house or on Facebook (you can even link your FB photos to your account)! Or, look for the iconic photo of your subject.
- Can’t think of what to say? Let the photos talk. Create a mosaic of memorable moments in pictures.
- Inspire! Find a quote, or place you own poetry, or scanned artwork on the mug. You can even make a mug with text alone. (Just delete the photo frame and resize the text frame!)
- Read the SFH photo wall on Facebook for some great quotation ideas!
- Don’t forget the pets! Honor your favorite beloved furry friend and memories with their photo.
- Mugs are not just for home. Your organization’s logo or motto can be used for staff or as a volunteer gift. Personalize your office cup, too.
All SFH products have easy to use layout themes for professional results every time. Our mug themes include:
- Photo Easy. Simple photo frames with some text. Includes single photo with text, collages and panoramic layouts.
- Scallop Frames. A group of scalloped shapes and sizes. One, two and three photos layout.
- Vintage Frames. Period art frames surround the photos you choose. Victorian edges, classic corners and unique vintage mats frame your photos old and new.
- Fully Customizable. Add, remove or move text, photos and art elements using advanced program features.
The SFH mug holds 11 oz of your favorite hot or cold beverage. Dishwasher and microwave safe ceramic. Images are 7 x 3.2” wrapped onto the mug using a dye transfer process which embeds the ink into the ceramic making a quality and lasting image for years to come.
