A personalized magic mug is a unique and customizable gift idea that adds a touch of magic and personalization to an ordinary coffee mug. These mugs are made with a special thermochromic coating that changes color when hot liquid is poured into it. They are a perfect way to surprise and delight someone with a special message or photo that appears magically as the mug heats up. The process of creating a personalized magic mug is fairly simple. First, the mug is made from high-quality ceramic material and coated with a thermochromic layer. This special coating is sensitive to temperature and changes color when it comes into contact with heat.
This special coating is sensitive to temperature and changes color when it comes into contact with heat. To personalize the mug, a design or message is printed onto a transfer paper using specialized printers that use heat-sensitive ink. The design can be anything from a simple name or monogram, to a full-color image or photo.
Lisa Morales releases "She ought to be King"
Lisa Morales announces the release of her new LP, She Ought To Be King , due out on August 26th. The 12-track bilingual album includes brand new songs as well as tracks from Morales’ celebrated EPs released earlier this year. She Ought To Be King features collaborations with Americana icon Rodney Crowell, Santana co-founder Gregg Rolie, Los Lobos’ David Hidalgo, and includes Tim Lefebvre, Rachel Eckroth, Elizabeth Goodfellow, Ephraim Owens, and Raul Pacheco. The album was produced by Davíd Garza (Fiona Apple, Sharon Van Etten), and recorded at the renowned Sonic Ranch Recording Studio in Tornillo, Texas, which gave Morales an isolated and creative environment to focus on making music. Like her cousin Linda Ronstadt, Morales and her sister Roberta grew up in a musical family in Tucson, Arizona, learning to perform traditional Mexican music while developing broad-ranging musical taste prior to moving to Texas. She recorded six albums as “Sisters Morales,” the beloved sibling duo in which she partnered with Roberta, who passed away from cancer in August 2021.
The album’s new songs include “She Ought To Be King” (the title track), and the swinging “Fly with Me.” The new LP showcases Morales’ songwriting talents in both English and Spanish and brings to the forefront her powerful vocals and her belief in the power of women. “I’m at this great time in my life where I am in awe of us as women,” says Morales. “I was marvelling at how wonderful we are, reading back the list in this song, and blurted out ‘She Ought to Be King!’ I love the tone of this sentiment, and once the song came together it was easy to see that it would be the centrepiece of the album.” The song highlights the powerful qualities of women, and what might at first sound like a sexy old standard, on closer listen, is actually an empowering blues anthem with a seductive backbone of a rhythm section. The majority of this new album, Morales’ first LP in three years, was written during the height of the pandemic. “The way people were separating and segregating,” she says, “it was like we stepped back a hundred years, and spotlighted we had never really grown out of racism like we wanted to think we had. ‘Freedom’ and ‘Reach Out’ are a calling out to everyone to love one another. Love thy neighbour as thyself. It’s that simple.” The swinging “Fly With Me” is a playful track, recorded live and co-written with Raul Pacheco from Ozomatlí. Morales says, “This song is a conversation to a lover saying step out on a ledge and learn to really give love instead of staying on the periphery. Get in, get wet — it’s amazing if you dive in.” The inclusion of El Amor No Es Cobarde’s Spanish-language tracks represents Morales’ Mexican-American heritage, and the songs have resonated throughout the Tejano community and beyond. Kelly Trevino, of Tejano Backstage Magazine, says “Her vocals and lyrics on ‘Suéltame’ speak to anyone that has ever loved so deeply, that they beg to be released once that love is lost.” In between her two EPs, touring, and new album news, Morales is a leader in her community, honoured to serve as the newly elected Secretary of The Recording Academy’s Texas Chapter. She “looks forward to joining a diverse group of leaders in serving and advocating for our greater music community.” Morales — who produced fellow-Texan Hayes Carll’s debut album Flowers and Liquor — also continues to produce and collaborate with other artists. Dubbed “an absolute enchantress on the stage” by Austin Woman Magazine , Morales will showcase her music magic at AMERICANAFEST 2022 in Nashville (Sept. 13-17). More tour details are forthcoming.

Once the design is printed onto the transfer paper, it is carefully applied to the mug using heat and pressure. The ink on the transfer paper adheres to the thermochromic coating, resulting in a personalized design that is revealed when hot liquid is added to the mug. When the mug is cold or at room temperature, the design is hidden and the mug appears to be a regular black or dark-colored coffee mug. However, as soon as hot liquid is poured into it, the magic happens. The heat causes the thermochromic layer to change color, revealing the hidden design underneath. The transformation is truly magical and adds an element of surprise to the drinking experience. Personalized magic mugs are not only great for personal use but also make fantastic gifts for birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, or any other special occasion. The ability to customize the design with a special message, photo, or artwork makes these mugs a thoughtful and personal gift choice. In addition to personal use and gifting, personalized magic mugs are also used for promotional purposes by businesses. Companies can customize these mugs with their logo or message and use them as a unique marketing tool. When the mug is used by the customer, the hidden design is revealed, creating a memorable and engaging experience that can leave a lasting impression. Overall, personalized magic mugs combine technology, creativity, and personalization to create a unique and enchanting drinking experience. Whether used for personal enjoyment or as a gift, these mugs are sure to bring a touch of magic to any occasion..
Reviews for "The Magic is in the Mug: Personalize Your Morning with Magic"
1. Emily - 1 star
I was really disappointed with the personalized magic mug. The picture I uploaded came out blurry and pixelated, making it almost unrecognizable when the mug was heated up. The quality of the mug itself was also subpar, as the handle felt flimsy and cheap. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this product to anyone looking for a high-quality personalized mug.
2. David - 2 stars
The personalized magic mug was a bit of a letdown for me. While the idea of having a photo appear when hot liquid is poured into it is cool, the execution was not very impressive. The image only became slightly visible and still looked faded, even after pouring boiling water into the mug. Additionally, the mug did not feel very sturdy, making me question its durability. I had higher expectations for this product, so it was quite disappointing.
3. Sarah - 2 stars
I had a pretty underwhelming experience with the personalized magic mug. The photo printed on the mug did not come out as clear as I had hoped, making it difficult to recognize the image when heat was applied. The quality of the mug itself was also questionable, as it felt a bit flimsy and lightweight. Overall, I was not satisfied with this purchase.
