(we removed MOST mentions of Eggnog Cups)

After receiving your RA# from us, while wearing protective gloves, just put the entire satchel of glass and plastic wrap into a bag (of any sort, just to contain any spillage) and then carefully and securely place the bag in a small box and send it back to us, using the Broken Return Instructions.
Please be careful when handling any broken glass!
As soon as we receive the broken/smashed Moose Mugs parts, we will forward replacement Moose Mugs (or your refund) to you.

4. Return instructions
(for broken/shattered/cracked/defective Moose Mugs / Eggnog Cups)

Our mailing address is:

CanadianMoose.com, Inc.
622 Schubert Place NW
Calgary, Alberta  T3L 1X4
Canada

After receiving your RA# from us:

IMPORTANT: If you are in the USA, when mailing the package back, make sure to mark the package as 'CANADIAN GOODS RETURNING - DEFECTIVE GOODS' and please declare a minimal value of CAD$5.00.  This helps avoid any unnecessary brokerage fees charged (by Canada Customs) when these products come back into Canada.  Any brokerage fees incurred, due to failure to declare the value as CAD$5.00, will be charged back to the customer.

Please ship back as 'SURFACE' (ground) service to help reduce costs.  Do not insure the package for any amount over CAD$5.00 because that will nullify the CAD$5.00 declaration (above).

Please include your ORDER number (from your invoice).  This Order Number is usually in the form "CMC2001/12/12/08DH", where 2001/12/12 is the date the order was originally made, 04 is the number of orders we had received at that point in that day, and DH are the person's (who placed the order) initials.  This Order Number helps us find your information quicker (your address, etc.).

Once we have received your broken cups/mugs from you, we will forward you the new cups/mugs (or your refund) as soon as soon as possible.  As long as we receive your Order Number, we have enough information to get the replacements (or your refund) out to you right away.
If a replacement has been requested, we will provide 1 replacement Eggnog Cup / Moose Mug for each set of antlers returned.  For cracked Moose Mugs or defective Eggnog Cups, we need the entire Moose Mug / Eggnog Cup.
Please advise us of any new shipping addresses - please specify the address you need the replacements to be sent to.  We will process these replacements/refunds as quickly as we can.

We apologize again and we thank you for your patience and understanding.

2008/11/13 from moose mugs main page

If any other vendor tries to tell you their 'cheap copies' of the Christmas Vacation Moose Mugs are an EXCLUSIVE trademarked product, they are just blowing smoke.  Their statement "reproductions of these moose mugs or any use of the product name "Christmas Vacation Moose Mug" is in violation of the United States Government trademark laws and is strictly prohibited" is a poor (and now failed) attempt to try to scare you (the consumer) into buying their products.  Their application for a US Trademark has been denied and their statement (above) is probably now in contravention of United States Patent and Trademark Office regulations (not to mention 'false advertising').
Thanks for your continued support of our high-quality, original CanadianMoose.com Moose Mug items.

USA customers: As of today (Friday, December 14, 2007), any new orders (for destinations in the eastern half of the USA) will probably not be delivered by the 24th of December, 2007.  Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
As the mugs are shipped from California, states in the western half of the country should still be able to have the mugs delivered in time (using FedEx Ground).
Alternatively, if you wish your order to be delivered with FedEx Express, there is a reasonable '2 Day' service available (for 2 - 4 mugs, only CDN$64.00).  Charges will be higher for Hawaii and Alaska.

2002/10/25 Update: An idea we are toying with is detachable (and totally reusable) antlers that could be used with any bowl - from the antique crystal one (from your Grandmother) to the plastic one you picked up at Wal-Mart, just for the party!

Wednesday, December 14, 2005: We will be receiving a few Moose Mugs (into Calgary, Alberta, Canada) on December 21.  If you would like to place an order, for a destination in Canada, there is still a chance of getting the mugs, to the Canadian destination, in time for Christmas (or just shortly thereafter).  Please get your Canadian destination orders in very soon - only a few mugs are available.

* * Friday, December 2, 2005: As of 2:00pm MST, any new orders for the Moose Mugs will probably not be produced in time for a December 25th, 2005 delivery.

We are trying as hard as we can to fill existing orders for a December 25th, 2005 delivery.  Please keep checking the 'moose mugs status' page
(www.CanadianMoose.com/moosemugsstatus)
for the status of your existing order.

New orders are still being taken NOW but these new orders will probably be delivered AFTER December 25, 2005 only.  New orders, for delivery to those US states that are close to California (= shorter shipping times), may still be delivered before December 25, 2005 but we do not make any guarantees.

Existing and new orders will continue to be delivered, during the holidays, on every day that FedEx Ground delivers: December 24, December 26 - 31, and on into 2006.

Please place your new order soon as we will be closing our office for a few days over the Christmas holidays!

Thanks and have a great Christmas season!

2005/11/08 from 'moosemugs/broken' page

1. Broken/shattered Eggnog Cups, click here.

3. Defective Eggnog Cups, click here.

4. Cracked Moose Mugs, click here.

1. Broken/shattered Eggnog Cups
For each Eggnog Cup you receive where the goblet is shattered, ALL WE REALLY NEED RETURNED IS the SET of 2 antlers - we can recycle them back into use again.
Wearing gloves, just put the antlers into a bag (of any sort, just to contain any spillage) and then carefully and securely place the bag in a small box and send it back to us, using the Broken Return Instructions.
Please be careful when handling any broken glass!
As soon as we receive the broken Eggnog Cups parts, we will forward replacement Eggnog Cups (or your refund) to you.

(under point 2)

 (by us or by you, if you would like to do so).

2a. Send back for repairs
If you would like US to repair them for you, just send both the goblet and antlers back to us, packaged VERY securely, so further damage is not sustained during transit.  Please make sure the separated parts cannot bounce around in the package and do not come in contact with the goblet.  We will do the repairs on the Eggnog Cups and get them back out to you.  This process usually takes about 4 weeks in total.

2b. Re-attach the Eggnog Cup parts yourself

3. Defective Eggnog Cups
In the event that you receive a defective Eggnog Cup, we will happily replace this (or provide a refund) for you.  We would like the Eggnog Cup returned to us as we will send it back to the glass blower for analysis and replacement.  Please carefully re-package the defective Eggnog Cup in the original packaging and send it back to us, using the Broken Return Instructions.
For our glass blower to honor these returns, we need these to come back intact (other than the defect) so please re-package them carefully.
As soon as we receive the defective Eggnog Cup, we will forward a replacement Eggnog Cup (or your refund) to you.

4. Cracked Moose Mugs
Due to the nature of glass blowing, sometimes glass will develop small, hairline cracks that may go unnoticed during inspection by the glass blower.
A 'true' crack will be all the way through the mug.  A 'work' mark will be a 'ridge' or superficial crack only - these are the 'character' of the Moose Mug, which show that these were 'hand made.'
In the event you receive a Moose Mug with a 'true' crack, we will happily replace (or provide a refund for) these for you, too.  We would like the entire Moose Mug returned to us as we will send them back to the glass blower for analysis and replacement.  Please carefully re-wrap the cracked Moose Mug(s) and securely place them into a sufficiently-sized shipping box and send them back to us, using the Broken Return Instructions.
For our glass blower to honor these returns, we need these to come back intact (other than the cracks) so please wrap them carefully and make sure they don't bounce around in the box.
As soon as we receive the cracked Moose Mugs, we will forward replacement Moose Mugs (or your refund) to you.

2005/10/26 from 'moose mugs' page - as gift baskets now available

How's this for an idea?  You order 2 or more Moose Mugs and you request a copy of the National Lampoon's 'Christmas Vacation' movie - either on DVD or VHS.  We throw all that together in a nice gift basket with peanuts, popcorn, and other goodies and treats and we send the whole package out to the loved one of your choice!  Instant party!  Stay tuned for more details!
2002/10/25 Update: Due to the fragility of these Moose Mugs AND thus, the oversized packaging that is required, the gift basket idea is not going to work out.  It would cost too much to have everything shipped out together safely.  Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused!
2005/08/04 Update: With the strength of the new Moose Mugs, we are working on this idea again.  Keep checking back for more details!

2005/08/18 from 'moose mugs wholesale' page

(wording has been updated slightly)

Based on the production costs (for these high quality, hand-made, 'made in the USA' glass items), a 'true' retail price (with the traditional 'keystone' (100%) mark-up) would be out of reach for most consumers. Through previous sales of our Moose Mugs, CM.C has proven that a
MSRP of CDN$90.00 (for each Moose Mug)
is fair and generally well accepted. Consumers realize the value of hand-made glass items - just check the popularity of Savorski/Swarovski items!
Taking into account the MSRP, the production costs, and a little profit for ourselves, there is just not enough 'wiggle' room for us to sell the Moose Mugs, to retailers, at a 'true' wholesale level. We can offer retailers a 'deep' discount - deep enough to make it worthwhile to carry the Moose Mugs and definitely a better price than our retail customers can receive. A minimum profit of CDN$20.00 per Moose Mug can be realized by retailers - still quite respectable.

2005/07/21 from 'moose mugs' page

It looks like my Moose Mugs have 'cracks' in them - is this normal? - click here.

- - - - -

HAIRLINE CRACKS
The hairline 'cracks' you may see in the Moose Mugs 1 are normally just 'work' marks - where the glassblowers have squeezed the molten glass into shape, using their tongs and plungers. Unless these marks are completely through the glass (from one side right through to the other side), the marks are not true 'cracks' and the Moose Mug 1 should be safe to use.  If you receive Moose Mugs 1 with true 'cracks', please contact us with 48 hours (click here for details).

CanadianMoose.com (CM.C) has been producing the Moose Mugs (in a few different models) since June of 2001.  In that time, we have had many inquiries about selling the mugs to other retailers (wholesale), about selling franchises, about many things.  Until now, we have never been a position to be able to handle any outside (wholesale) demand for the Moose Mugs - we had trouble just filling orders we received from our own 'retail' customers.  But now, due to new glass vendors and better construction methods, we feel we can offer the Moose Mugs to other retailers.

Hand-made quality...
As of June 2005, the Moose Mugs are being hand-made in the USA (they were previously being hand-made in Canada but the shipping costs - to get the mugs to our USA customers - were overly restrictive).  With being 'made in the USA,' the quality of our Moose Mugs is now unsurpassable.  But with this high quality also comes a high (but fair) production cost, for hand-made glass items.

Suggested Retail Price...
To set a 'true' retail price for this product, with the traditional 'keystone' (100%) mark-up, would put it out of reach for most consumers.  Through previous sales of our Moose Mugs, CM.C  has proven that a Suggested Retail Price (SRP) of CDN$90.00 (for each Moose Mug) is high but certainly not out of line, as most consumers realize the value of hand-made glass items (check the cost of Savorski/Swarovski items).  But with our high production costs (and a little profit for ourselves), there is just not enough 'wiggle' room for us to sell the Moose Mugs at a 'true' wholesale level.  The best we can offer retailers is a 'deep' discount - deep enough to make it worthwhile to carry the Moose Mugs and definitely a better price than any of our retail customers can receive.

Retail Restrictions...
Please note: retailers are free to sell the Moose Mugs at whatever price they like (higher or lower than the SRP).  The only restriction CM.C has is that retailers will not be allowed to 'offer' the Moose Mugs on any 'auction-type' site (like eBay or any eBay 'store').  If this restriction is not adhered to, by the retailer, CM.C will no longer sell the Moose Mugs to that retailer.  CM.C will be setting up an eBay store themselves, to attract worldwide attention to the Moose Mugs.

Wholesale Terms and Conditions...
We will be asking each retailer to sign and return a 'Wholesale Terms and Conditions' page.  Please click here to view the 'Wholesale Terms and Conditions' page.

Wholesale Price...
Currently, our Wholesale Price (WP) for each Moose Mug is CDN$62.00 (shipping is FOB, from San Diego, California).  After factoring in average shipping costs, to most destinations in the USA, there is about CDN$25.00 raw profit for retailers to realize, on the retail sale of each Moose Mug.  At just under 40%, we believe that this is still a respectable profit.

Very unique product...
Due to the distinct design of the Moose Mugs and thus, almost painful hand-made production and shipping issues that are associated with them, these Moose Mugs are being produced in small quantities only.  The Moose Mugs are very unique and will probably remain that way for quite some time.  By carrying these Moose Mugs in their locations, retailers will be part of a select group, representing one of the truly 'different' products out in the marketplace today.

Look at some sample Moose Mugs...
If you are interested in taking a look at the Moose Mugs, we are more than happy to forward 2 (two) sample Moose Mugs to you, initially at no cost to you.

After viewing the sample Moose Mugs, if you:

1. would like to proceed with a wholesale order, we will just apply the 2 sample Moose Mugs to your first order.

2. are not interested in proceeding with a wholesale order, you can just return the 2 sample Moose Mugs to us and we are done.

3. are not interested in proceeding with a wholesale order, but you would like to keep the 2 sample Moose Mugs, we will just process your credit card for the 2 Moose Mugs (at full retail pricing).

 Please let us know if you would like us to forward 2 sample Moose Mugs to you.  Click here to fill out an order and just mention 'wholesale Moose Mug samples' in the "Comments" field on the order form.

Here's where we are heading...
In closing, we truly believe that you will not be disappointed with our Moose Mug product.  With growing tourist numbers and growing numbers of movie buffs (as well as having that special movie becoming a modern 'classic'), these Moose Mugs will remain popular for quite a while.  We are not resting on our "Moose Mug" laurels, though.  We are looking into Bear Mugs, Wolf Mugs, and even Beaver Mugs.  With inspiration from our great outdoors, the possibilities are virtually endless.  We will keep you informed!

Thanks for your time today.  Please do not hesitate to contact us directly if you need more details on any of the previous information.  Have a great day!

Dan Herauf, owner
CanadianMoose.com, Inc.

Sorry!!
"Eggnog Cups" are currently unavailable.

For "Eggnog Cups", we are now FINISHED processing (packaging and shipping) orders that have been PAID and were placed:
up to and including *2005/05/02*
Note: to avoid another delay, we recommend that you order your eggnog cups NOW as the furnace may be 'out of service' for the summer - see notice below (dated 2005/02/28)

Monday, 2005/02/28: The "eggnog cups" glassblower has notified us that his furnace will be taken completely out of commission (for a complete rebuild) in the near future.  Based on this, if you have any thoughts of getting cups in the next few months (for birthdays, anniversaries, parties, etc.), please order now as we are not sure when the cups will again be produced.
We have a few "moose mugs" in stock right now, also.  Thanks!

Friday, 2005/02/11: The "eggnog cups" are starting to move again!  We have received our first shipment from the glassblower and will continue to get more shipments in the coming days, until all the backorders are filled.  We will fill orders as quickly as we can.  Thanks for being patient with our situation!

Wednesday, 2005/02/02: Happy New Year and welcome back!
Our "eggnog cup" glassblower has made temporary repairs to the furnace and will start to fill "eggnog cup" orders soon (orders made before Christmas 2004).  There still may be a need for further furnace repairs (may be out of commission for 6 - 8 weeks!) so we are going to stock up on "eggnog cups", just in case.
"Moose mugs" are now available, also.
Thanks for your patience and understanding during our Christmas rush and "furnace crisis" - we truly appreciate your support.  Have a great day!

Sunday, 2002/11/17: The 'Eggnog Cups' will soon come in yet another new packaging solution - still the same larger box but now with a foam-rubber (sponge) 'clam-shell' approach, to protect/immobilize the cups during transit.  We believe this system will give even more protection to the eggnog cups.  What's next - cement?!

Monday, 2002/05/27: The 'Eggnog Cups' now come in a custom-built, packaging solution (a larger box with custom-fit, foam-rubber/styrofoam inserts, to protect/immobilize the cups during transit).  We believe this system will give added protection to the eggnog cups.

John and Evelyn Mayerson are the artists and owners of a glass company they established in 1986.  Located in Cochrane, Alberta, Canada, they produce artwork from various mediums such as: stained glass products, sandblasting, three dimensional sand carved items, fused glass, leaded windows, various glass sculptures, giftware, and hand-blown glass.

 John and Evelyn are a well balanced team.  John as always had an interest in art, which began with silversmithing and soapstone carvings, then progressed to courses taken involving the techniques of stained glass lamps.  Between the years of 1982 and 1986, John worked in the field of glass: learning and mastering stained glass, sandblasting beveled glass, fusing, and hand-blown glass.  During his employment, John studied part time (as a special status student) at the Alberta College of Art.  During the summers, John also studied hand-blown glass at the Red Deer College of Art.  John opened his glass company in 1986 and originally worked out of the basement of his home.  The business has since flourished and is now located in a full-faceted studio, which includes a small supportive staff.  There is even room for the general public to observe the glass blowing demonstrations.

Evelyn has always had an interest in art.  Her artistic career began at a young age with dried and fresh floral arrangements, cake decorating, sewing, and ceramics.  Once she met John, she was fascinated with the technique of stained glass.  John began instructing her with the basics of glass, which she learned quite quickly.  Since her initial lessons, she has developed her own style and creates original stained glass products and unique sculptures.

Many of John and Evelyn's finished products can be seen throughout various galleries and gift shops.  John and Evelyn take pride in their workmanship, creating individually fine quality art glassworks for you to enjoy and treasure.

2005/03/08 from 'moose mugs' page

The cups in the movie looked to be made of glass but, by the way they were carried around (even with a full glass of eggnog, they were held only by a finger and thumb), they were probably only made of plastic.  We're not sure!

$15 or $20 a cup

(see bottom of page for galleries)

Danny Vargas has been creating functional (mouth-blown glass) art from molten glass for the past 40 years.  At the tender age of 11, Danny was trained by his father (a master glass blower) in the timeless traditions of the Mexican glass artists.  Originally from Mexico, where he was established in the world renowned artisan colony of Tlaquepaque, Guadalajara, Jalisco, Danny was invited to Canada in 1976 for his artistic and technical expertise.  He was the first glass blower in British Columbia (BC), Canada, and he soon found his place among contemporary Canadian artists.  Where many have failed, Danny has been able to make a career out of shaping molten glass into vases and figurines.  All crafted by hand, these exquisite examples of the glass blowers craft reflect the great traditions of the Italian, Mexican, and European glass blowers.  These treasures from Danny Vargas are among the finest examples of Canadian Art Glass.  Danny Vargas has added facets of the great European styles to his unique designs and is creating contemporary Canadian works of art.  Danny's pieces are now being sold to a growing international clientele.

PACKAGING DETAILS FOR MOOSE MUGS (EGGNOG CUPS)
For details on how the Moose Mugs (Eggnog Cups) are packaged, click here.

*****

2005/05/18 - from moose mugs 'packaging' page

(always hit 'Reload' or 'Refresh' to make sure you get the latest update)

Please open all of your Moose Mugs as soon as you receive them.  Damages must be reported within 48 hours of receiving shipment.
After 48 hours, we will not provide replacements/refunds for Moose Mugs that are damaged.  Please retain all original packing materials and boxes provided.  They may be needed for inspection by the shipping company.

Moose Mugs
As the Moose Mugs are completely hand-blown, they are able to withstand more shaking during transit.  Because of this, the Moose Mugs will continue to be wrapped in multiple layers of bubble wrap and paper (some normal newspaper, possible some shredded paper), and come shipped in regular boxes.  To unwrap the moose mug, just carefully remove the layers of bubble wrap and paper.  Keep going, the moose is in there somewhere!

Eggnog Cups
Please read the following for detailed instructions on how to remove the cups SAFELY from the box.  The instructions shown below are also included with each order of eggnog cups going out.  If you need additional copies of the instructions, just print the appropriate instructions on this page.

Note: for Version 4 (below), if you have trouble 'lifting' the contents out of the box (as talked about in Step 4), you may have to try the following: Carefully cut open 2 edges (of 1 side) of the box, fold the cardboard down and out of the way, and then lift the contents out through that opening.

* * * * *

CanadianMoose.com 'Eggnog Cups'
(Version 1)

Note: The foot of the enclosed eggnog cup is secured VERY tightly into the 'base' of this packaging.  Please DO NOT hold the eggnog cup by the antlers or nose when removing the eggnog cup from the 'base' - the antlers, nose, and eggnog cup itself ARE NOT designed to withstand this type of pressure.

To unpack your eggnog cup safely, please perform the following steps:

1. Open the box by carefully cutting the tape.

2. Remove the packaging 'lid', remove the 'pillar' (runs down the inside of the eggnog cup), and remove the 'side' supports (some of these packaging pieces may come out at the same time the 'lid' is removed).

3. Remove the rectangular 'nose' piece (prevents the eggnog cup from rotating in the box) - just push the packaging 'nose' piece away from the nose of the eggnog cup and then carefully pull the packaging 'nose' piece up and out of the box.

4. Finally, carefully gripping the eggnog cup by the bottom of the goblet (use a '2 fingers to each side of the eggnog cup stem' grip - like a Mr. Spock from Star Trek 'Live Long and Prosper' sign), rock the eggnog cup back and forth while slowly pulling the eggnog cup upwards.  Take your time so the cup does not unexpectedly 'pop' up and go flying (mooses don't fly well)!

That's it - your eggnog cup is now ready for use!  Please retain your packaging materials for storing/protecting your eggnog cup during the 'off season' or for any shipping/transporting purposes.

Thanks and have fun using these!!

Enough with the administrivia,

Here's the story!
We've had many inquiries from customers who have been searching for the moose eggnog mugs (cups, glasses, steins, bowls, whatever!) like those that were featured in the movie "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" (1989), by Warner Bros.    The glass cups were in the shape of a moose head - they had antlers on either side (for handles) and had a moose snout/facial features.

Note: We will not be posting pictures from the movie here due to obvious legalities.  Our moose cups/mugs (we have also been developing a line of other Canadian animal cups: bear, wolf, beaver, etc. - stay tuned for more info!!) will be similar to, but not exactly the same as, the cups in the movie (we will not be infringing on any copyright).  There are not any specifications of what these cups were like so we are producing moose products which we believe will be what our customers are looking for.  To refresh your memory, watch the movie again (buy it on DVD or VHS) and have a laugh!  You will be supporting Warner Bros. at the same time!

In the movie, Clark Griswold (Chevy Chase) and his cousin Eddie (Randy Quaid) drank eggnog from these cups (at Clark's house, during the Christmas holidays).

The cups were a probably a throw-back (a 'string' is another word for linking movies together) to the original movie "National Lampoon's Vacation" (1983).  The Griswold family visited the theme park "Walley World" and were probably meant to have acquired the cups there.  The moose connection was probably to "Marty Moose", the "Walley World" mascot.

Through Warner Bros., we have determined that these cups were "props" only (fashioned specifically for the movie).  Alas, they were never produced for consumer use.

BUT...

Due to a demand for moose cups, by tourists and movie buffs as well, we have designed our own glass vessels and 
they are ready to go!!

You are probably asking "What do your cups cost . . .?"

Please read on! . . .

Cost Solution 1: To get these cups down to a nice cheap price would be a simple process: pay a large glass manufacturer US$100,000 for a mold and then buy 200,000 cups from the same manufacturer over the next 2 years.  No problem!
Big problem!  Based on the feedback from our wonderful customers, the demand for these cups number in the hundreds, not hundreds of thousands!  That demand does not justify implementing Cost Solution 1.

No biggie, let's continue! . . .

Cost Solution 2: Find smaller glass producers who can hand-produce the cups, with the same or higher quality than the large manufacturers, but in smaller numbers.  The costs remain fairly high but at least we can get the cups produced.

We have done that!  Check out what we have! . . .

Coming soon!!

The glass is an 11-1/2 oz snifter-style glass, with a diameter (at widest point) of 3-1/2", with a diameter (of glass opening - mouth) of 2-3/8", with a height of 5-1/8" and a glass thickness of approximately 3/16".

Using a standard, market available snifter glass as a base (which helps reduce costs), the eggnog cups are manufactured totally by hand!.  The snout and antlers are cast (from a bronze mold) with hand-blown glass, utilizing the finest cullet (raw material) - glasma, which gives a brilliant clarity to each piece (as close to crystal as you can get!).  Each snout and antler set are matching sets.  As each eggnog cup is put together by hand, there could be a slight variation with the placement of the antlers and snout.  This method of construction (using an existing snifter glass and the applying the antlers and snout) was how the eggnog cups, used in the movie, were put together.  This method allows us to achieve a level of uniformity that our customers desire, when buying products in sets.

Dimensions
(all dimensions are approximate and will vary slightly from mug to mug)

Width (from antler tip to antler tip): 8"
Height: 5"
Front to Back (includes snout): 4-1/2"
Wt: just over 1 lb
(this is a serious piece of glass!)

The glass is close to a 9-10 oz snifter-style glass, with a diameter (at widest point) of 3", with a diameter (of glass opening - mouth) of  2-1/4", with a height of  4" and a glass thickness of approximately 1/8".

This is the Cadillac of hand-formed glassware:
completely custom designed/stylized, completely hand-blown mugs
(even the snifter glass is hand-made)!
Each mug is started with a blob of molten glass and is carefully formed into a snifter glass.  The antlers are added - one drop at a time.  The snout is formed, then attached, and then the nostrils and mouth are formed.  The eyes are finally added, bringing the mug to life.
Each moose mug will be similar to each other but, due to the nature of hand-blowing glass (time, temperature, and technique), each mug is guaranteed to be unique.  The size and style (the look) of the antlers and the snout will differ slightly from mug to mug.  Even if you order a set of 12, each will be slightly different in some way.
These are destined to become family heirlooms as you are obtaining highly-detailed pieces of hand-blown glass - almost too nice to use for eggnog!  You might have to get one for each of the kids.  It could save on lots of arguments in the future!

   WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE 'EGGNOG CUPS' AND 'MOOSE MUGS'?

The question most asked about our cups/mugs is 'which is the one from the movie?'  We went to 2 different glassblowers with the same request: build us a 'moose head' glass.  What we got back (from the glassblowers) were their versions of the same request - we named the 2 models 'eggnog cups' and 'moose mugs' different just to be able to distinguish one from the other.   Basically, both of these are both brandy-snifter style glasses, with moose features added on.
The 'eggnog cups' (option 1) use an existing snifter-style glass - the 'moose mugs' (option 2) have the glass (goblet and foot) hand-blown from blobs of molten glass.
The 'eggnog cups' (option 1) have antlers and snout made from pouring molten glass into (pre-formed) bronze molds.  The pieces are then cooled and then attached to the glass.  The 'moose mugs' (option 2) have the antlers and snout hand-blown and attached at the time the glass itself is created.
Which one is bigger?  Size-wise, both models should be fairly similar.  The 'eggnog cups' (option 1) have a 'rack' (set of antlers) which stick up higher than the antlers on the 'moose mugs' (option 2).
Which one should I get?  It is really a matter of visual choice.  The 'eggnog cups' (option 1) have a more 'real' moose look to them.  The 'moose mugs' (option 2) have more of a cartoon or caricature look to them.  Whichever model you choose, please have fun using them!

ORDER EARLY!
As these cups/mugs have become fairly popular, it is safest to get your order in very early, especially for the Thanksgiving/Christmas season.  We will make all efforts to fill your order as soon as we can but sometimes we experience a backlog on orders.  Like anything of quality, we believe the cups/mugs are well worth waiting for and we appreciate your patience!  Please submit your orders via our on-line order form or by our fax form.

You can keep posted on the STATUS of your order by checking our 'Eggnog cups' / 'Moose Mugs' Status page.  Just click here (you will need to remember the date you placed your order).

These cups/mugs are VERY, VERY popular around Thanksgiving and Christmas so please get your orders in VERY, VERY early!

Note: Delivery delays are not in our control
(crossing borders, Customs inspections, mail scares, seasonal rushes, etc.).
We CANNOT 'guarantee' ANY delivery date.  Sorry!

To make shipping easier, we ask that you NOT order any other products, from our site, to be included with your eggnog cup / moose mug order.  That way, we can use standard boxing and will not have to 'custom' fit each order into different size boxes.
Also, if you wish to purchase BOTH the eggnog cups AND the moose mugs, please submit 2 separate orders.

- - - - -

Please open all of your cups/mugs as soon as you receive them.  Damages must be reported within 48 hours of receiving shipment.
After 48 hours, we will not provide replacements/refunds for cups/mugs that are damaged.  Please retain all original packing materials and boxes provided.  They may be needed for inspection by the shipping company.

- - - - -

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Have fun using these!  The "eggnog cups" and "moose mugs"  CAN be used for drinking from - that is what they were designed for.
Note: Extreme temperatures may damage these items - we DO NOT recommend serving HOT beverages in these NOR DO WE recommend storing these vessels in the freezer.
To hold the cup/mug, we recommend you 'cradle' it, under the body of the cup/mug, just above the foot.  That way, excessive pressure is not exerted on either antler.  We do not recommend holding these cups/mugs by the antlers when they are filled with eggnog (or your favorite beverage) - the antlers were not designed to withstand that sort of weight.  The weight of the cup/mug and the contents will be almost more than most people can hold with one hand, never mind with a finger and a thumb.  If attempted to be held by the antlers, the cup/mug could either slip or, if an antler became separated from the body, the cup/mug and contents would meet with a messy end and nobody would enjoy that.

- - - - -

WASHING/STORING INSTRUCTIONS
Customers have inquired about washing these "eggnog cups" and "moose mugs" in the DISHWASHER.  As with any fine piece of glassware, we recommend hand-washing and hand-drying ONLY (drip-drying or air-drying works, also).  This will insure that these items will be around, to be enjoyed, for years to come.  Just use regular liquid dish soap and warm water for cleaning.
Note: DO NOT use AMMONIA-based cleaning products (like glass cleaning "WINDEX") on your "eggnog cups" - the ammonia may degrade the epoxy used to adhere the antlers and snout to the goblet.
During the 'off season', just store these cups/mugs safely in your china cabinet/cupboard or in the boxes you received them in.  Remember to keep them separated from other items and from each other (so they don't fight!).  Simply use cardboard, cloth, foam, bubble wrap, whatever..., to keep them apart!

- - - - -

HAIRLINE CRACKS
The hairline 'cracks' you see (usually in the antlers on the 'moose mugs' and in both the antlers and snout of the 'eggnog cups') are normally just 'work' marks - where the glassblowers have squeezed the molten glass into shape, using their tongs and plungers. Unless these marks are completely through the glass (from one side right through to the other side), the marks are not true 'cracks' and the mug/cup should be safe to use.  If you receive mugs/cups with true 'cracks', please contact us with 48 hours (click here for details).

- - - - -

SEND US PICTURES!!
We've heard lots of good stories on how long our customers have been looking for these cups/mugs.  When your friends, families, and loved ones open these gifts up, snap some photos and send them to us!  Having a 'Christmas Vacation' party?   Don't forget your white shoes!!  During your party, snap a couple of goofy pictures and send them to us!  We will put together an 'eggnog cups' / 'moose mugs' photo page so everyone can see how these cups/mugs have been enjoyed.  Just send us the pictures (click here for our address) and we will get them up on the site.  Unless you request otherwise, we won't return the photos so please just send us copies.  For your privacy, we won't publish any names or other details that accompany the photos.

FUTURE - MATCHING PUNCHBOWL
We do not have a matching punchbowl at the moment but we are looking into getting one together!
2004/09/22, 2003/11/29 Update: No punchbowl yet - sorry!
2002/10/25 Update: An idea we are toying with is detachable (and totally reusable) antlers/snout that could be used with any bowl - from the antique crystal one (from your Grandmother) to the plastic one you picked up at Wal-Mart, just for the party!
Stay tuned!

- - - - -

FUTURE - PLASTIC VERSIONS OF THE EGGNOG CUPS / MOOSE MUGS
2004/09/22: At present, we do not have plastic versions of the eggnog cups or moose mugs.  We will be looking into that possibility soon as many customers have voiced a desire for a less expensive option.  Keep checking back here for further updates!

- - - - -

FUTURE - GIFT BASKETS
How's this for an idea?  You order 2 or more 'eggnog cups' or moose mugs and you request a copy of the National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation movie - either on DVD or VHS.  We throw all that together in a nice gift basket with peanuts, popcorn, and other goodies and treats and we send the whole package out to the loved one of your choice!  Instant party!
Stay tuned for more details!
2002/10/25 Update: Due to the fragility of these cups/mugs AND thus, the oversized packaging that is required, the gift basket idea is not going to work out.  It would cost too much to have everything shipped out together safely.  Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused!

- - - - -

UNDER DEVELOPMENT - OTHER 'ANIMAL' GLASSES
Because our customers like the 'moose' glass idea so much, we are developing a line of other animals as well: bear, beaver, wolf, etc.  Great for tourists visiting Canada and the USA!
Again, stay tuned!!

- - - - -

FUTURE - CUSTOMER SUGGESTIONS
Just a few of the things our customers have suggested we look into:

 - matching 'moose' straws and 'moose' swizzle sticks

- the bunny slippers that Ruby-Sue wore when she came in and asked Clark if he were Santa Claus when Clark was in a dream daze fantasizing about the beautiful woman swimming in his pool

Keep those suggestions coming (contact us) - we'll see what we can come up with!  If anyone has come across any good web sites which offer any of these items (or others items related to the movie), please contact us.  We will post these sites for everyone to see.

Canada / USA destinations - Cutoff for being able to 'hope for' delivery by December 25th is Friday, December 12th, 2003 (based on product availability and using 'regular' shipping rates).
International destinations - Sorry, as of December 8, 2003, delivery by December 25th (using 'regular' shipping rates) is probably not attainable.  With 'premium' shipping rates, offered by courier companies, December 25th may still be attainable.

The glue we use here is LEPAGE ACCU-FLO SUPER GLUE, in the Automatic 'pen' form.  This glue 'pen' has accurate one drop push button control and non-clog tip for easy re-use.  It sells here for about CD$3.50 for a 2ml size.  There should be a USA equivalent of this LEPAGE product.  If you can't find an equivalent product, let us know and we will send you a tube of this glue.
This SUPER GLUE is an alpha cyanoacrylate adhesive (pretty much the same as 'Crazy Glue') that sets in seconds - giving tremendous adhesive strength.  It is colorless and sets without clamping.  Is resistant to water, most chemicals, and freezing temperatures.  Maximum strength develops in 3 to 12 hours.
BE VERY CAREFUL AS THIS GLUE BONDS INSTANTLY!  AVOID SKIN CONTACT!
