Let's honour the modern father
Cambridge. 12 May 2015. - The modern day father comes in various forms. Today’s father is no longer always the traditional, married breadwinner and disciplinarian in the family. He may leave the house to go to work or work from home, he can be single or married; gay or straight; a biological, adoptive or step-parent; and a more than capable caregiver to children facing the physical or psychological challenges of growing up.
Well into the nineteenth century, fathers’ roles were primarily to serve as breadwinners and the conveyors of moral values and religious education to their offspring. However, with the advent of industrialisation and urbanisation and as factories emerged as major sources of employment, several generations of fathers became distanced from the household and their families.
Family patterns in the post-industrial society are changing again. With a large proportion of mothers leaving home - many becoming the main breadwinner- the arrival of the Internet and distant working opportunities, many modern fathers' roles involve them much more in the home.
When celebrating fatherhood, it is time to remember that like any other member of the family, fathers too have their own interests and lives. Despite the changes in the male role, the contemporary debate recognizes men commonly as being competitive and with a greater need to ream. Even many modern fathers follow sport events in a group of friends. What could the loving football fan enjoy more than his own 'World Cup ware'?
A personalised sport bottle with own photographs and texts for the gym or a bike ride or a traditional one pint beer mug with photo on-print are presents for Dads with a difference. Creating a unique supporter shirt, caps or a BBQ apron for a World-Cup-Party at home is fun. For the bread winner who leaves to his office a crystal pen holder block with a laser engraved photograph will avoid having to leave the family totally back home.
The ideal modern father is the one who parents from his heart and models respect towards his children’s mother, who wears a photo apron too and can be seen using a mop, a washing machine, or any home appliance that was taboo in past generations, one who thinks his responsibility as a father is more than bread-winning and disciplining, one who cares not just for the physical needs but bonds with his children and supports their emotional needs.

New Glass Mug with Photo
FotoInsight prints digital images onto customised mugs and other well inspired gift ideas
A novelty mug made of frosted glass with a coloured photo imprint broadens FotoInsight’s range of personalised photo mugs. Online photo services like FotoInsight turn a digital image into a personal gift, which preserves memories in colour for many years. As a gift mug it can be a personal present or a funny present.
The frosted glass mug can be edited with a photo and text, allowing to further customize a ‘name mug’ with a photo print. Photo mugs are well suited for coffee, tea, milk and other non-translucent drinks which shine through the frosted glass and change the photo background colour. The new glass mug and other photo crystal items can be edited directly online at FotoInsight or through the FotoInsight Designer software client, which is available as a free download.
The coating and heating of glass mugs is a technically much more demanding process than with traditional china mugs. In a special process the coating is treated with heat whereby it binds to the glass’ surface. Instead of a rubber like surface this new printed mug photo is as smooth and shiny as silk and also longer lasting than with other processes.
The Cambridge company FotoInsight is known as an online photo print service and for its poster, photo calendar and photo book printing as well as for its large range of photographic gift items, in which the glass mug is a new addition. The range of picture mugs also includes a ceramic coffee mug and a large traditional beer mug. The new glass photo mug is dishwasher resistant, 9.5 cm tall with a diameter of 8.2 cm and costs £5.99 (p&p £2.99) to anywhere in the UK, Ireland or Europe.
