Nothing competes with the subject. The full-colour wraparound print runs around the entire cup, which means the sign is revealed a little at a time as the mug turns in your hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMeaning \u0026amp; Symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA road sign exists to guide travel, telling you where you are headed and which way to go. Paired with the country's name, and with the geography and travel themes that define the design, it turns Ecuador into a destination. The subject is presented plainly, and the meaning is an invitation: this is a place worth heading toward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMade for the Morning Cup\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA mug is held close and turned often, so the sign is read at arm's length, over coffee or tea, rather than from across a room. The heat-reactive surface adds a second reading. The design is only faintly visible while the cup is cold, then comes up as a hot drink is poured in, so the destination appears with the first warm sip. It makes a thoughtful gift for someone who has travelled to Ecuador or has it on their list, and a daily reminder of the journey for the person who keeps it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Go Mug Yourself","offers":[{"title":"11oz","offer_id":53175261626648,"sku":"GMY-MUG-CDRE72-11OZ-5","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/5204\/4312\/files\/ecuador-e723-ecuador-road-sign-color-changing-mug-11oz-GMY-MUG-CDRE72-11OZ-5-front.webp?v=1794063190","url":"https:\/\/gomugyourself.com\/products\/ecuador-e723-ecuador-road-sign-color-changing-mug-11oz","provider":"Go Mug Yourself","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
