There are gifts you look at once, and gifts you pick up every day. Two new products of ours belong to the second kind, and both are made with a photo of your own pet: a travel mug for the way to work or to the stable, and an acrylic heart for the Christmas tree. One is used every day, the other comes out of the box again every year. Here is what both can do, how you design them and who they suit.
Travel mug with your pet
Seven in the morning, the walk with the dog, drizzle. Anyone who has a coffee in hand on that walk knows how quickly it goes cold. The travel mug is made of white stainless steel, holds 440 ml and has a leak-proof lid. It is 18 cm tall and 6.1 cm wide at the bottom, so it fits many car cup holders.
The mug shows your pet as a portrait, in one of twelve styles or as the original photo without a style. You add the name and, if you like, a second line, and you choose the font and background yourself. The live preview shows you the finished mug before you order. According to the manufacturer it is dishwasher safe, but stainless steel must not go in the microwave. The lid is best washed by hand.
The mug comes in three versions, each for €39.99:
- Travel mug with your dog, for walks in any weather
- Travel mug with your cat, for everyone who misses their cat at the office
- Travel mug with your horse, for cold mornings at the stable
Who the mug suits
People who spend a lot of time outdoors: dog owners with fixed walk times, riders who feed their horse before work, commuters with a cat at home. And everyone who already has a mug with their pet. That one stays in the kitchen, the travel mug is for on the go. If you prefer to drink at home, you will find the same design as a mug with a photo.
Heart Christmas tree ornament
A heart made of clear acrylic, 7.6 x 7.6 cm, with a red ribbon for hanging. The portrait is printed directly onto the acrylic, and the areas without a design stay transparent. On the tree it looks as if your pet is floating between the branches, especially with fairy lights shining behind it.
Acrylic has an advantage over glass that anyone whose cat has ever climbed the tree will know: it does not shatter. If the heart falls down, you just pick it up again.
You design it just like the mug: upload a photo, choose a style, enter the name and, if you like, a second line, for example “Christmas 2026”. The heart costs €24.99, which also puts it under 30 euros. There are three versions:
- Heart Christmas tree ornament with your dog
- Heart Christmas tree ornament with your cat
- Heart Christmas tree ornament with your horse
An ornament for every year
A lovely idea for families: every year a new heart is added, with the year in the second line. After a few winters, a small chronicle hangs on the tree: the puppy in the first year, the grown dog in the third, and perhaps one day a second pet.
The heart also suits a quieter occasion. For anyone who has lost a pet, Christmas is often the first holiday with a gap. An ornament with the familiar face on the tree is a quiet sign that it still belongs. You will find more thoughts on this in our article When a friend's dog has died.
Which photo works?
A normal phone photo is enough for both products. A few things make the difference:
- Daylight instead of a lamp. Taken by the window, coat colours look more natural than under the ceiling light in the evening.
- Head and ears fully in the picture. Especially on the small heart, a cut-off ear stands out.
- Sharp eyes. If the eyes are sharp, the portrait forgives almost everything else.
- Short names on the heart. On 7.6 cm, “Nala” reads better than a double name.
You can read more about this in the article Which photo suits which product.
Mug or heart?
If you have to choose: the mug is the gift for everyday life and for practical people. The heart is the gift for the Christmas season and for people who collect memories. Together, the two make a package that looks like more under the tree than either one alone. From two products, you automatically get 15% off in the cart, and with the mug and heart together you are over €49, from which shipping within Germany is free.
