HOT Custom Mug Deal & Giveaway!

by Christie Bisbee on September 29, 2011

The great people over at InkGarden recently gave me the opportunity to order one of their custom mugs so I could see the quality of their products and I’m SO glad they did!

Designing the mug was easy, they have over 200 designs to choose from and they have such cute ones! It was hard to pick just one. I was able to quickly upload my picture, add text, and clip art and I was done in just a few minutes.

I choose to create a custom mug as a surprise for my hubby capturing our 10th Wedding Anniversary trip (it was freezing and we were trying to warm up with a café au lait and a crepe). I was a little worried because the picture I was using was taken with my phone by the French crepe making street vendor – who made awesome crepes but didn’t take very good pictures. 🙂

The mug turned out to be AWESOME! I swear the image looks better on the mug than it does as a photo. Shipping was very quick and it was SO well packed in a special Styrofoam container. My hubby loved it! 🙂 I plan to customize some additional mugs for holiday gifts this year and fill them with treats for a VERY affordable but VERY personal gift.

How to Get This Deal

Thru 10/30 you can design your own awesome Custom Mugs for Only $1.00! Shipping is not included but it was only $5.49 for me so $6.49 for a custom mug shipped. Pretty good if you ask me. This deal runs until 10/30 and it’s one per household.

-Just go HERE and click on “SEE MORE DESIGNS”
-Once you see one you like select and design your mug
-Use code: DOLLAR at checkout
– Select Ground Shipping for the best deal!
