Today crystal gifts become popular as the crystal glass printer exist here and there. Printing on glass is a fashion trend for gifts. Crystal printing methods are not very complex. And now you can make it yourself. Funny mugs, gift crystal mugs both of them you can print with this printer. Unfortunately, not all of this diversity is a good thing. Everyone wants to get a unique looking mug out there since there’s hundreds of thousands already out there and “unique” can mean a lot of things. Glass printing is a digital printing technology.
It isn’t just for station wagons from the 70s anymore, and if you thought wood paneling ever went like I did, apparently we’re completely wrong. Yes, woodgrain coffee mugs. Why does anyone want one? I don’t think anyone does, but it seemed like a good idea to whoever designed it. Even if you could choose the color of the “wood” look on the mug (which you generally can’t) and get it to match the wood on your desk, I can’t imagine you still really wanting one. Wood really looks good in some situations, but fake wood finishing on anything except furniture needs to go away forever!
Cups and mugs with special shapes are another bad idea. Lots of the custom shapes I see are, strangely, heads of famous people or heads of characters. Patriotism at its finest! As an added bonus, even when they’re not intended to be a caricature they inevitable look cartoony or ugly… or both.
Here’s another great example of a cute idea for some other product, but a bad shape for something someone will be drinking out of: ski boot shaped mugs. I want nothing more than to imagine the sweat build up of a nice pair of warm and tight ski boots mixing with my morning beverage of choice.
How the heck are these supposed to be washed, either? They have lots of little nooks and crannies and heaven forbid it sits in your sink long enough for your remaining drink to stain or harden. Plus, I don’t really have enough cupboard space the way it is, and I’m not sure how the heck I’d find a space for one of these creative mugs that isn’t on the top shelf and guaranteeing I’ll never use it more than once.
