The wake up cup is the perfect gift for a friend who needs a large mug of coffee before starting their day.
When you first get the mug out of your cupboard, the eyeballs will look tired and droopy. However, once you pour your favorite hot drink in, whether it be coffee or tea, the eyes open wide. The ink is sensitive to heat and the eyes react by becoming alert.
This wake up cup is great for people who don't consider themselves "morning people" because it represents just how most people feel and look in the morning before having one or two cups of hot coffee. An added bonus is when the mug wakes up, it'll bring a smile to your face and hopefully make you feel more awake.
