New and improved Journals! The Journals are now available with a choice of four paper options: blank, lined, dot grid, and task journal. Furthermore, the front cover has been upgraded to a 12 point glossy paper and laminated for durability.

Cafepress has launched a new Ceramic Travel Mug . It’s also a workhorse — thanks to a solid design with steel inner-sleeve that’s ideal for hot or cold beverages. Holding a full 15 oz. and fitting into most vehicle’s cup holders (includes snap-tight lid), it’s also a great choice for travel.

• Measures 7″ tall
• Ceramic outer shell, with stainless steel inner sleeve
• Gasket-sealed lid, with snap tight closure
• Hand wash only

TIP : The Ceramic Travel Mug is the same aspect ratio as the Oval Stickers. You can easily add them to your shops using the Bulk Add tool. Design templates can be found here.
