The Seal of the Minnesota National Guard is a heraldic emblem that symbolizes the identity, mission, and history of the Minnesota National Guard. Adopted on March 23, 1919, the seal represents a balance between the state and federal roles of the National Guard in maintaining peace, protecting the citizens of Minnesota, and serving during times of national emergency. The design features an emblem within a circle enclosed by a laurel wreath. At the top is the state seal of Minnesota with the motto "L'Étoile du Nord" (The North Star), symbolizing the guiding light in the struggle for liberty and justice. The lower part displays the national shield, representing the Guard's federal duties. In the center, a sheathed sword rests upon a scroll reading "1861," signifying the year when Minnesota's volunteer militia was first organized to support the Union during the American Civil War. Below it is a banner inscribed with the motto of the National Guard: "Semper Paratus" (Always Ready). The Seal of the Minnesota National Guard is a significant symbol that embodies the organization's commitment to its mission and values, as well as its proud history of service to the people of Minnesota and the United States.

Color-changing ceramic mugs with a glossy finish, black exterior, and white interior. Available in one size: 11 oz (≈330 ml). Heat-reactive coating reveals your custom design when filled with hot liquid. BPA- and lead-free, with a comfortable C-handle.

This mug brings a playful twist to the daily coffee or tea ritual. At room temperature, it looks like a simple black mug with a glossy finish. But add a hot beverage, and your chosen design fades into view, showing vivid colors against the white interior.

The ceramic body is durable enough for repeated use, while the C-shaped handle balances comfort and grip. Printing uses sublimation techniques that fuse color into the heat-reactive surface for crisp results when the design appears.

  • Material: ceramic with glossy black exterior and white interior.
  • Size: one standard size, 11 oz (≈330 ml).
  • Finish: glossy glaze with heat-sensitive surface.
  • Printing: sublimation process produces crisp, vibrant colors.
  • Safety: BPA-free and lead-free, suitable for everyday drinks.
  • Effect: design is faintly visible when cold, fully revealed when hot.

Perfect as a novelty gift or a fun personal mug, the heat-reactive design makes coffee breaks more engaging. It works well for morning coffee, afternoon tea, or hot chocolate.

  1. Daily routine: fill with any hot beverage to reveal your chosen artwork.
  2. Gifting: the “magic” reveal makes it a memorable present for birthdays, holidays, or office exchanges.
  3. Office use: sparks conversation while still being practical for everyday drinks.

Note: for best results, avoid designs that rely heavily on deep black backgrounds, as they may blend with the mug’s surface when cold.

Unlike standard mugs, color-changing mugs require gentler care to preserve the heat-reactive coating. Hand-wash only — avoid the dishwasher and abrasive scrubbers, which can damage the finish and reduce the effect.

The mug is safe for short microwave use when heating liquids, but repeated high-heat cycles may shorten the lifespan of the coating. Always allow the mug to cool before washing.

Available in one classic size: 11 oz (approximately 330 ml). It’s large enough for most standard coffee makers and fits comfortably in most cabinets.
