My Favorite Child Gave Me This Mug

 This month's mug is another great gift, given to me by my kid.  It is an all black mug with the words 

MY CHILD GAVE ME THIS MUG

written in white letters on both sides. Note the space between MY and CHILD.

When hot liquid is added to the mug, the word FAVORITE, written in red, appears in the space, making the phrase "MY FAVORITE CHILD GAVE ME THIS MUG."  

The mug is brand new, and I plan to use it on my birthday every year.

Hogwarts Golden Snitch #2

Today's mug is one of two I found very near identical.  The mug is dark blue and on the right is a darker area with a drawing of the Golden Snitch from Harry Potter.  On the left side of the mug is a Hogwarts banner above a heraldic shaped darker area with the H in the center and another banner at the bottom, on which are the words: "Draco Dormiens Nunauam Titillandus" - which is the Hogwarts Motto. (Never tickle a sleeping dragon.)

When hot liquid is added to the mug, the dark areas clear.  On the right side of the mug a patchwork design appears that has the words "I'm a Catch" and on left side the heraldic shape shows animals which represent the four houses of Hogwarts: A Lion (Griffindore), a Serpent (Slytherin), a Badger (Hufflepuff) and an Eagle (Ravenclaw.) 

The mug is brand new, and still has its original tags.

Twas the Night Before Christmas

Just in time for Christmas~  This "'Twas the Night Before Christmas" mug features a full wrap around design. When the mug is cold, you can see a beautiful room with bright red walls that frame a tree with gifts below it, a wreath on the wall between two dark windows, a small table with cookies and milk for Santa, and a wing back chair before a fireplace.  

When hot liquid is added to the mug,  The change shows the lights on the tree lit, the gifts opened and arranged beneath the tree, the windows show a daytime winter scene outside, the wreath has lights, the cookies are gone, and a fire is in the fireplace.  

A terrific mug also because it is a Full Color color change!  

This mug is brand new and even has its own full color box!

Hogwarts Golden Snitch - #1

Today's mug is one of two I found very near identical.  The mug is black and on the right is a slightly darker area with a drawing of the Golden Snitch from Harry Potter.  On the left side of the mug is a Hogwarts banner above a heraldic shaped darker area with the H in the center and another banner at the bottom on which are the words: "Draco Dormiens Nunauam Titillandus" which is the Hogwarts Motto. (Never tickle a sleeping dragon.)

When hot liquid is added to the mug, the dark areas clear.  On the right side of the mug a patchwork design appears with the words: "I'm a Catch" and on left side the heraldic shape shows animals which represent the four houses of Hogwarts: A Lion (Griffindore), a Serpent (Slytherin), a Badger (Hufflepuff) and an Eagle (Ravenclaw.)

Nightmare Before Christmas Jack and Sally Mug

Just in time for Halloween!  This magic mug is two sided and has drawings of Jack Skellington  and his girlfriend Sally (Nee Finklestein) on black surrounded by skulls, spider webs and bats.  

When hot liquid is added, the black backgrounds clear to reveal different backgrounds. In addition, the bats and such disappear.  A nice big mug and a nice addition. 

This mug is in excellent condition as it is brand new - it even has the tags!

Minecraft Survival Mode

This month's addition is in honor of all the kids going back to school and will not be playing their favorite game: Minecraft.  More importantly, Minecraft SURVIVAL Mode, where the character can actually take on damage while building.  (Or something like that.)  When cold, as you see above, the mug is plain black, with a small Minecraft logo in the center.  On the left, is the logo for Survival Mode.

 When hot liquid is added to the mug, the mug clears on the right to reveal a Minecraft Character with his sword standing in front of the words "SURVIVAL MODE." On the left, the design reveals grids and pieces from the Minecraft world.  

This mug is brand new (see the tags!) the color change is rapid and the mug is in perfect condition.

Midnight Meowgic

This is another great thrift store find! On the left side, the mug shows a chubby kitty sitting and reading a book.  With the hat, I would suspect that's a book of spells. 

When hot liquid is added to the mug, the area around the kitty clears to reveal the words: "Midnight Meowgic" above and below the drawing.  Additionally, sparkles appear in the air.  

This is a one sided mug in great condition for its age.  By the style of the thermochromatic ink, this mug can be dated to the late 1980s or early 1990s.  Even more fun, this mug is not flat on the sides, but has curved sides.  A great addition to the collection.
