Bring a Portuguese-Inspired Mug to your Christmas table!




Welcome to A PORTUGUESE LOVE online store, where you can embark on a journey to Portugal without ever leaving your home.  I am passionate about celebrating the rich culture, traditions, and icons of my country and from time to time I add a new design to my Zazzle store. I sold many mugs for people around the world and now it's your turn to pick yours!

 From picturesque landscapes and iconic monuments to the ever-charming Portuguese rooster, Lisbon houses, and the great Portuguese water dog, there's something for everyone. In this blog post, I'll write down a few reasons why I think you should consider adding these Portuguese-themed mugs to your collection or offering them as unforgettable gifts this Holiday.

1. A Slice of Portuguese Beauty in Your Hands:

When you hold one of my Portuguese-inspired mugs, you're cradling a tiny piece of Portugal. Like I used to say, if you can't make it to Portugal, let Portugal come to you! Whether it's the azure waters of the Algarve, the charming pavements of Lisbon, or the iconic tiles found throughout the country, each mug transports you to the heart of Portugal. Note: these are original designs, first drawn on paper, and then vectorized in Illustrator. You will not find it anywhere else.



2. Cultural Immersion Every Morning Breakfast!

Imagine sipping your morning coffee or tea from a mug adorned with Portugal's cultural treasures. It's like having your own daily dose of Portuguese sunshine, instantly brightening your day! Have you been to Portugal? Do you miss those special vacation days in Lisbon? Or maybe you made some good friends in Porto and miss those laughs around the table? A mug of this collection will not cure the longing for the past but will put a smile on your face!



3. Personalizable Mugs for each member of the family in Portuguese Language and English:

Some of these mugs can be personalized, making them perfect for special occasions. Add a name, date, or message, and you have a unique and heartfelt gift that will be cherished for years to come. This line is dedicated to family members. Lots of colors to pick from and matching gift products too!

4. A Nod to Portugal's Traditions:

The Portuguese rooster, also known as the "Galo de Barcelos," is a symbol of good luck and faith. Having it on your mug is a charming reminder of this captivating Portuguese ícone and an old country tale. If you are into folklore and legends, you'll find the rooster in several mugs. Some Rooster illustrations are modern, some are funny, and some just celebrate the traditional rooster. Click the collection board at the bottom to have a good look at the possibilities.



5. Take some of the old charms of Lisbon into Your Home:

Lisbon is renowned for its colorful houses and beautiful tiles, and some of these mugs capture the essence of this vibrant city. They make for a stylish addition to your home decor.



6. Honoring Man's Best Friend:

The Portuguese water dog, or "Cão de Água," is not only a loyal companion but also a symbol of Portugal. These mugs pay tribute to this beloved breed and are perfect for dog lovers. The dog's coat comes in two varieties: curly or wavy. In this illustration, the coat is formed by the letters H2O, which is the formula for water. The colors used are red, green, and yellow present in the flag of Portugal, in addition to black, which is a frequent color on the Portuguese Water Dog.




7. Savor the Flavor of Portugal:

Whether you're enjoying a traditional Portuguese espresso or a delightful herbal tea, our mugs enhance the experience. The artwork on each mug creates a sensory journey that complements the flavors of Portugal.
