I love photo coffee mugs. I’ll be honest. I’m kooky like that. Whether it be my dog dressed up like a ladybug for Halloween or my niece on her first day of school, I LOVE photo coffee mugs.

People who use mugs with pictures on them make me smile. I love that there is something so small as a picture to make their day. I know that for me when I look at the mug I smile so I’m assuming others do too.

Much like a picture in a frame, I have seen many people who use these photo mugs as desk accessories. Put your pens in it or paper clips. Then you’ll always have whoever or whatever is on the mug right there with you all day.

I like that. Even though you’re trudging away in the proverbial “salt mines,” you can still have a little bit of home there with you. Most photo websites offer photo mugs. All you have to do is upload the picture of your choice to their site and you can create it yourself!

Photo mugs also make great gifts! Grandparents love them. I mean who wouldn’t want a picture of their grandchild staring at them every morning? They’re inexpensive and very personal. I love to get them and give them. Like I mentioned before, you don’t have to use them just for coffee. They make great desk accessories and hold various knick knacks.
