How cute is this mug? The buyer of this order asked for the name ‘Ashleigh’ in purple text to be added to the bottom of this penguin design...making this gift just a little bit more special for their friend!
About PositiveInstinct
The Positive Instinct Story
Hello and welcome to Positive Instinct's Etsy shop.
💕WHO IS POSITIVE INSTINCT?
My name is Sarah, I'm 23 years old and I am the sole owner of Positive Instinct. I started Positive Instinct in October 2017 after leaving my business administration job. I left with the aim to have my own business, be my own boss and to make a positive impact on people's lives...no matter how small! Since starting Positive Instinct I have also set up two other businesses: Digital Business Base and The Warwickshire Review where I help small businesses with their online marketing and showcase local businesses in Warwickshire.
💕WHAT IS POSITIVE INSTINCT?
Handprinted, ceramic mugs designed with meaningful messages that are delivered all over the world! Designed and handprinted by me, at home in Warwickshire UK using the sublimation printing process.
💕MY DESIGN INSPIRATION
My design inspiration mainly comes from my own personal recovery journey over the years and my desire to help others who are experiencing troubles in their lives whether it be mental, physical or emotional. My mugs are designed to be gifts (to yourself or others) that just keep on giving, both visually and practically...as they reinforcing their positive messages every time they're used!
💕WHAT MAKES POSITIVE INSTINCT DIFFERENT?
I handprint and package each mug myself to ensure only top quality products arrive at your door! I use the sublimation printing method to produce each mug by hand, so each one is ever so slightly different. The process uses high heat and pressure to ensure vibrant, long-lasting prints that are both dishwasher and microwave safe for added practicality. Each mug is shipped to you in a Positive Instinct break-proof box, so no need to worry about your order arriving broken. I try to be as environmentally friendly as possible so you will find virtually no plastic with your order.
P.s. Please reuse or recycle your mug box!
💕CAN'T FIND WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR?
If you can't quite find the mug that you're looking for, you have a corporate request or bulk order please message via Etsy or email me (sarah@positiveinstinct.com) and I will help bring your ideas to life!
💕Thank you for reading my story, I would love to hear what you think of my shop; feel free to drop me a message and connect on social media too!
Kind regards
Sarah

I started Positive Instinct with the aim of spreading positive messages, inspiration and laughter all over the world with something as simple as a mug. A mug is not only practical but can also be a treasured gift & daily positive reminder.

Mug specifications
Positive Instinct uses 10oz Wycombe style mugs that are made from high-grade white ceramic. These mugs have a glossy white finish and RHINO coating (not real rhino) to ensure the design, printed on both sides, is vibrant and long-lasting.
All of Positive Instinct's mugs are hand-printed by me at home in Warwickshire, UK. I use the sublimation printing method to give every order a high-quality print.
Every mug is made to order, so unlike mass produced mugs, each one is ever so slightly unique.
Gift wrapping and packaging
Gift wrapping: is not available. However, you can include a gift message at the checkout which I will personally write by hand on a Positive Instinct notelet at no extra cost.
Packaging: The environment is very important to Positive Instinct, therefore all mugs are shipped to you in break-proof cardboard boxes that don't require bubble wrap or additional non-environmentally friendly packaging! Please try to reuse or recycle your mug box!
Wholesale availability
Yes! Please contact me for more information about wholesale or bulk order discounts.
