MG Custom Snowglobes

Styles

What goes inside

Every style is poured by hand in small batches, so no two cups fall exactly the same way. Pick the one you like here, then choose it on any cup in the shop.

Cateye snowglobe cup

Cateye

A single band of shimmer running through the fill that moves as the cup moves — turn it and the light follows, the way it does across a cat's eye stone.

It sits between a glitter and a lava: there is sparkle, but it holds together as one travelling line instead of scattering. The shimmer settles when the cup stands still, and a shake brings it straight back.

Lava snowglobe cup

Lava

A lava lamp in a cup. Coloured liquid moves through clear liquid — or through a second colour, if you want two — rolling over itself in slow blobs rather than falling.

Glitter is optional here, which makes this the one to pick if you want movement without sparkle. It performs best in the taller, narrower cups: less room between the walls means the lava falls more slowly and keeps moving longer after you set it down.

Medium Flow Glitter snowglobe cup

Medium Flow Glitter

Glitter suspended in liquid at a middle speed — fast enough to read as snowfall, slow enough to watch the flakes land. Any combination of colours can go in together.

Like every suspended fill it settles eventually, exactly as a snow globe does; turning the cup starts it again. How it moves depends on the size and shape of the cup, so a 16oz and a 40oz of the same fill behave differently.

Waterfall Floral snowglobe cup

Waterfall Floral

Tiny flowers that drift down through a clear fill and gather at the base, so the bottom of the cup keeps a bed of colour between turns.

Lighter than glitter and slower to settle, which makes the fall last longer. The flowers can go in on their own, or with glitter alongside them.

Ordering a fill style

01

Pick your fill style on any cup's page, along with the size.

02

Tell us your colours in the notes box at checkout. Lava takes up to two — one for the base and one for the lava itself.

03

Not sure? Ask us to match your design, and say which colours you would rather we stayed away from.

One thing worth knowing about all of them: a suspended fill settles when the cup stands still. That is not a fault — it is what a snow globe does. Turning it over starts it again.
