Packaging idea's for the Log mug

My first idea for packaging was that the packaging you could write on. So, chalk board writing. That would be intriguing for customers to buy and a unique thing you don't typically see. I would leave enough room for somebody else to write on it, so if it is for a gift, you have the ability to have it already wrapped and the chance to write on it. It could some with a pen so you could definitely write on it.

The idea of having housing shaped boxes would be an exciting and intricate way to advertise my product. Essentially,  I got the idea after watching the entire episodes of the famous tv show, Twin Peaks. You wouldn't have to watch Twin Peaks to have the desire to buy this product. That is because the box, if created this way, would be VERY interesting. I wouldn't just have it generic, like a design you'd have seen before; It would be bold, housing shaped but would have a bold patterning on such as the black and white designing you see in the Black Lodge in Twin Peaks.

This 'trippy' idea would definitely stand out from all the rest. Considering that a lot of people are instantly drawn towards very eye catching products, you are definitely more likely to buy it. Personally speaking, anyway. The design would be exciting and would most likely draw you in instantly; especially if you're buying it as a gift for somebody! 

You see mugs and jars in shops like The Birds Yard in Sheffield and Afflex Palace, Manchester. They are typically in those places because that's where most individual gifts are found! But this product packaging could be found anywhere. If you was to go into Tesco (for example) this would definitely stand out from all the rest. Usually all products are standard and on the hooks without a packaging when its a mug or cup/cutlery! Which would make this one different to all the others.

The's two would be more than interesting as a product packaging idea. - This would be relatively large, chunky, eye catching and beyond exciting because it would be real wood. It is a very unusual idea which I personally don't think you'd be able to find anywhere. The lid could be hinged like the Left, but also could be unhinged like the left. It would be more expensive to manufacture because you would have to have wood that doesn't rot easily. That being said; would bump the product over-all pricing up which would potentially make people a bit 'iffy' when purchasing which would stump my sales. - That is why selling the product in a printed card box would be a bit better due to product pricing. 

The idea stems from seeing log lady. She always drinks coffee, as does everybody else in the series. That being in mind; instigated the idea of doing a product relating around the mug, log, black lodge, twin peaks as a whole and the idea of it being 25 year next year since it was developed. That would instigate more sales next year and the up coming years because its possible even more and new people would be interested in Twin Peaks. Even before the 25 years production - it is very popular already.
