Getting Personal

                More Than A Hug In A Personalised Mug | Personalised Mugs from GettingPersonal.co.uk
            
                When it comes to personalised mugs certain people benefit from receiving them more than others. For example, someone who has never liked hot drinks probably won't need one! However, there are some people, as we will explore in this article who practically cannot live without one. 

If you know some of these types of people, you should definitely consider getting them some personalised mugs. In this article, we'll tell you just a few of the people in your life who would probably love to receive personalised mugs as Christmas or Birthday presents...

The Student
So, the students in your life are going off to university. They're going to study hard and probably have plenty of hangovers (for which we know a big cup of coffee is the only cure!) However, university digs are cluttered and kitchens tend to be shared by as many as 20 students at a time.

It's not uncommon for students to 'borrow' each other's bowls, plates and cups and then 'forget' to wash them up or even pile them high in dorm rooms. By getting the students in your life personalised mugs they'll literally have a mug with their name on it which they can hang on to and wash up after each use which can be a lifesaver. Even students who don't love hot drinks can use personalised mugs for everything from cuppa' soups to a well deserved, post-study vodka and coke!

The Office Worker
So your friend gets to work for 8.30am and leaves at 6.30pm when he or she claims to work a 9 to 5 job? Sometimes they get stressed out and tell you they'd like to move to a country where they could drink Sangria all day or play endless rounds of golf. 

Office politics need not be worsened with washing up worries. We've all seen it, the pile of mugs in the office kitchen with no-one willing to get on with it and wash them up until mid afternoon. If you give your office-worker friends personalised mugs they can wash up their own after using it each time and won't have to fish around in a dirty sink whenever they fancy a cup of tea. Its great starting your day with a clean mug that has your name on it, it's much less fun starting the day by washing up (and invariably also making teas) for 23 other adults.

The Retired Tea Drinker
Retired people love relaxing with a mug of tea or coffee and a few biscuits. In fact they're almost famous for it with the stereotypical English tea room full of charmingly elegant older women most weekday afternoons.

Snuggling up with a cup of tea before walking the dog or taking a nap can be a real pleasure for granddads and grandmas everywhere. So if you know someone who has recently retired or is enjoying their retirement at full throttle why not get them a mug with their name on it. That way when they open the cupboard to get it out and make a brew, they'll think of you and how much you care about them! 

The Work-from-Homer
People who work from home seem to have a great lifestyle to those who work elsewhere, but the problem with working from home is that you end up doing even more work that way! Every hour you can cram in seems to be grabbed and used up so having time for a cup of tea can seem like a luxury. 

Get your friends who work from home to calm down and slow down by reminding them that there's always time for a cuppa'. The best way to do that is probably by getting them a big chunky mug. Don't you think?

Simple Benefits
There are some simple benefits to giving personalised mugs for you as well as the receiver, they're cheap and cheerful and can be picked out in a theme which suits the recipient. There are actually hundreds of designs and styles out there. 

You could pick out football personalised mugs for the footie fans in your life or personalised mugs with more feminine designs such as flowers for your aunts and sisters. Whatever interests your friends and family have there is probably a mug out there for them. 

In terms of fun for your friends and family it can be lovely to come home and snuggle down with a mug of something you really fancy and if the mug was a present from someone you love, then it's even better!
