Cups of cheer

Moxie Makers brings out self-expression, while carrying out mission

Drinking cups are not simply to hold your favorite beverage anymore.  It’s now an accessory, and a way to reflect your personality and unique interests.  

April Stroer, from Moxie Makers, takes self-expression with cups to a whole new level.  Her tumblers are fully customized to display her customers’ inspirations. She also has several designed ready-to-ship tumblers. 

She uses two primary methods for creating the stainless steel cups — sublimation and epoxy. Sublimation uses high pigment, sublimation inks and heat. Epoxy incorporates fun glitter with a high gloss finish. A decal can even be added with the last coat of epoxy before the cup is sent to its new home.  

Stroer started Moxie Makers in 2020 as a “might as well” during pandemic downtime at home.  She made one tumbler for herself and others wanted one.  

Stroer is creative and loves to play with glitter and color.  She has the attitude of “I can figure this out” shared by other great businesswomen.

Her tumblers make perfect gifts or group orders for a team or business. But each tumbler sale carries out a mission, shown on the card that accompanies it.

“Spreading awareness about MHE one tumbler at a time,” the card reads.

Multiple Hereditary Exostoses is a genetic bone disorder for which there is currently no cure. Stroer is determined to spread awareness, fight for a cure and be a comfort to others whose children have MHE.  

Moxie represents the courage or determination of her powerful effort. 

You can never have too many cups, so make a unique statement with a high-quality Moxie Makers tumbler designed specifically for you. Check them out at moxiemakers.co.
