Short Tumblers in 10 colors make the perfect personalized gift!

I'm thrilled to present our newest product - Short Engraved Tumblers!  Similar to Yeti tumblers, our 10-oz personalized tumblers make the perfect gift!  We use them here at work for all kinds of beverages - coffee, ice water, soda, and cocktails!  What is great about these tumblers is they are insulated, so they keep your liquid at temperature ALL DAY!  I put ice water in mine at night, and keep it next to my bed.  In the morning, the ice still hasn't melted!  And it doesn't leave a condensation ring on my nightstand - the cup stays dry.

Personalization....we take your logo, text or initials and then laser engrave the graphic file around the top of the tumbler.  The cup is positioned in our laser engraver (the blue machine pictured next to Laurie in the photo), programmed by one of our engravers Lori or Laurie, and then "run".  This results in the colored coating burning away by the laser beam to expose your gleaming silver custom engraving!

Customers who have purchased tumblers include the president of a giant pilot's union (800 tumblers!!!), golf tournament directors, school officials, and owners of companies.  Great for school booster clubs, sporting groups, and corporate events, tumblers make functional and useful gifts. You kids have too many sports trophies?  Our tumblers also make great trophy alternatives for sports teams.

Laurie and I model our short engraved tumblers! Hers has cats and mine has our Trophies2Go logo!

In 10 colors, our short engraved tumblers are made of aluminum and powder coated on the outside.  These double walled stainless steel tumblers feature vacuum insulation to keep your drink at temperature twice as long as compared to a regular travel mug.  The plastic lid is clear so you can see inside and is easy to keep clean.  We also have no-leak slide lids available for purchase.

Interested in an awesome gift that will get used every day?  Contact me about our engraved short tumblers, I love mine...I think I have close to a dozen!  You and your recipient will love them too!

Cheers!

My husband Jeff has been in the 'Big Johnson Fantasy League' since 1991, so I know a thing or two about BOTH fantasy football and trophies! Here are my thoughts on how to immortalize your fantasy season without breaking the bank.

How to Choose the BEST Fantasy Football Trophy for Your League

Big Johnson League's draft.

1. Crown the Champion.  Regardless of the budget, awarding hardware to your league winner should be your #1 priority as commissioner.  For champion keeper awards, consider doing a smaller version of a traveling trophy (discussed below).  This will ensure a legacy over the years.  For example, picture a repeat champ receiving multiple Lombardi-style awards and lining them up on their mantle.  Here are a couple of my favorites:

Championship Replica Trophy

NEW! Fantasy Football Champion Chain

Towering Fantasy Football Award

2.  Build the Legacy.  With a couple of ways to accomplish this, keep both short-term and long-term budget in mind.

- The Easy Way:  If you want to stay simple, I suggest choosing a trophy that doesn’t have to be engraved each year.  Instead engrave your league name and “Champion” on the front and you are all set.  Have last year’s winner bring it back to the draft and award it to the new winner. Here are a couple of suggestions for this style of trophy:

Jumbo Bronze Football Trophy

Armchair Quarterback Football Trophy

Annual (perpetual) engraving on the Big Johnson League trophy.

- A Little More Effort:  With a little more effort, you can engrave the past winners on the sides of your traveling (perpetual) trophy.  Most of our annual fantasy football trophies include an option for 3 additional side plates.  Be sure to choose this add-on when placing your order.  Place the trophy in your cart and type in the text you want on the front plate of your award. Our current best sellers are:

Monster Football Perpetual Trophy

BEST SELLER! Perpetual Replica Fantasy Football Champion Trophy

King of the League Trophy

To get names added to the sides, add product #7170 to your cart and type in the previous winner's information in the engraving section. I suggest including the year, winner’s name and team name. Each side plate fits 6-8 years of engraving.  Doing the math, you get 18-24 years of joy out of the trophy.

Please note:  Each year there is a process to have the side plate engraved with a new winner.  Simply unscrew the plate and mail it to us with engraving instructions and payment for $20.  We will engrave and mail it back.  Even if you forget to have it engraved for up to 4 years, the cost is still $20 total.  Get specific instructions here.

For the biggest whiner in your league, award our popular Cry Baby Loser Trophy.

3. Have Some Fun.  Finally, if your league coffers allow, consider adding some spice to your draft with some funny joke trophies for your league loser.  This is our favorite part of the fantasy football season,  as some commissioners get super creative. We've seen it all; check out our Fantasy Football Joke Trophies for more ideas. Here are my favorites:

Cry Baby Loser Trophy

Dead Last Toilets

Beauty Queens

Horse Bobble Butt Trophy

Best of luck in your draft!  I hope the addition of fantasy football trophies adds hype to your league.  May the trash-talking begin!

Cheers!  Jessica
