All fans of jay
Asher and Thirteen Reasons Why need to get their hands on this new fan product.
If you have read and loved the book then this product will be perfect for you.
There is now a new coffee mug cup that you can fill up with hot chocolate just
like Hannah did. This coffee mug is designed like the ones at Monet’s Garden
café and coffee house; it will have a reusable lid and cup but will look like ones
you buy at the coffee house, and it will have a sleeve on it that says Monet’s
Garden with the mug logo next to it. It will also have a part where you can
mark off what drink you put in the cup that’s also washable so if you have a
different drink you change it.
This idea comes
from the book because when Hannah Baker first moved to the new town she always
went to Monet’s Garden with Jessica Davis and Alex Standall. In the book she
says “we both got hot chocolate. She ordered it thinking it would be funny. But
me? I always order hot chocolate.” This relates because she got hot chocolate
and drank it in a coffee cup, obviously. Also later in the book when Clay is
listening to the tapes and visits the places she has marked on the map he stops
by Monet’s Garden because of Hannah, but he didn’t order hot chocolate like he
said he wanted to but he did order coffee. In the book it says, “In honor of
Hannah, I should order a hot chocolate. At Monet’s, they serve them with tiny
marshmallows floating on top the only coffee shop I know of that does that.”
The coffee house was a special place to Hannah Baker. She would always go there
with them to talk about her problems and just have a laugh when she was having
a hard time. Hannah says “Monet’s garden was our safe haven.” This showed how
much she loved and needed that place before they stopped going there, how it
helped her out when she was feeling sad and without that it lead to her downfall.
I think that my
idea will be pretty successful. I believe this because everyone drinks hot
beverages and they need a mug or cup to put their drinks in so of course a
coffee mug is a good idea people will always use them. When they go to the
store and see that coffee cup will draw them to it if they have read the book
and make them think about the book keeping and what else the author has been writing.
It will broaden the audience because when someone has the coffee cup and their friends
ask them why does it says Monet’s garden on it they will tell them about the
book getting them interested in it. That also means the book will receive more attention.

I like how on the picture you posted, you took the time to edit it and add the label and logo on it. And i agree with you reasoning for why it would broaden the audience. Alot of people do druink hot beverages and buying this mug will get questions from friends. I've never read this book before but from reading the quotes i could tell that this coffee place was really important to her, so doing this mug was a good idea. I also think its convenient to have one of theses mugs if you have read the book before.
