Mood-Changing Cups

The Morning Mug is an Expressive Piece

Waking up is always hard to do, but having the Morning Mug at home will show what you don't have to do this painful activity alone.

Damian O'Sullivan's Morning Mug is an expressive piece that makes the morning all the better. This little cup will actually greet the individual depending on the temperature, and relies on heat activation to work. Leave it cold and it will display a black sleepy face, but pour hot water into the mug and it'll slowly turn white and wake up with a cheerful smile. Considering how most people wake up cranky in the early hours, the Morning Mug will help start off the day in a quirky and playful way.
