# Cheerfully Optimistic Kitchenware The Positivity Glass is Always Half Full to Encourage Happiness By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2013-05-11 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/positivity-glass References: [fredflare](http://www.fredflare.com/mother-s-day/Positivity-Glass/) & [fredflare](http://www.fredflare.com/brands-fred-and-friends) The colloquial notion of the glass being half empty or half full pertains to one's outlook on life, but with the Positivity Glass you'll always be seeing the more optimistic side of the situation. Designed in such a manner as to always appear half full, the Positivity Glass features a label for the upper portion that reads "half full" and the lower, empty portion reads "half empty" to give the sense of balance. The Positivity Glass works by simply affixing a glass within the glass that renders the lower half unusable. As such, the Positivity Glass will always be half full when you pour a beverage into it, so don't bother even trying to think negative thoughts. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 59% | Activity: 40% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Kitchen](https://www.trendhunter.com/kitchen) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Optimistic Glassware:** The trend of glassware designed to promote positivity and an optimistic outlook on life. - **Perspective-shifting Designs:** The trend of designs that challenge perception and encourage a shift in attitude. - **Emotional Well-being Products:** The trend of products that prioritize emotional well-being and positive thinking. ### Who This Affects Most - **Kitchenware:** Opportunity for kitchenware companies to create products that promote an optimistic mindset while adding functionality and aesthetic appeal to everyday items. - **Home Decor:** The potential for home decor companies to integrate perspective-shifting designs into everyday objects, providing a unique and uplifting experience for consumers. - **Self-care Products:** The opportunity for self-care product manufacturers to create emotional well-being products that encourage positive thinking and contribute to a sense of happiness and fulfillment. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Perfect Sound-Producing Drinkware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/perfect-cheers.md) - [Dedicated Craft Cocktail Glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hybrid-cocktail-glass.md) - [Shifting Hydration Cup Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tilting-water-cup.md) - [Self-Measuring Cocktail Glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elevated-craft-hybrid-cocktail-glass.md) - [Conceptual Craft Beer Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sour-glass.md) - [Perfect-Pour Beer Glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/perfect-3way-glass.md) - [Sustainable Upcycled Glass Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hmm-design.md) - [Wabi-Sabi-Informed Green Glassware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/green-glassware.md) - [Optimistic Coffee Shop Partnerships](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/philz-coffee-and-simon-sinek.md)
