Martin B Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Hia, I really want to get some mugs made with pictures of my chooks on. When they come I'd love to give the mugs as presents, one with a picture of the pepperpot on, one with a picture of the gingernut on. On one it will say "Nothing better than an egg and the smell of coffee in the morning." The other will say " You can't beat an egg and a cuppa tea for breakfast" I think it's a good idea. I have noticed in my search that the prices vary between £2.50-£10 for the personalised mugs. I would obviously like to pay the least possible for the cups but I wondered if anyone here had any personal gifts made. I would appreciate all information given to me and would love to have some feedback on personalised gifts if anyone has any! Kind Regards Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mum Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 If you can upload your own photo's onto your PC and get a good print off of them, you can get loads of ideas from this website: http://www.craftypc.com/projects.html Plenty of inspiration to tickle your creative juices It's a US website but most of the supplies to make the projects you should be able to obtain from Staples or PC World or maybe other office suppliers. I made a decorative plate for a relation based on instructions from the site (not chook themed) and it brought such pleasure to the recipient. I've printed off photo's to make into cushions, bags, decorative candles. As these were only for personal gifts, I don't have any cheap "suppliers" to recommend because I bought plain fabrics/candles/plates from local shops/markets. Have fun :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
