Ideas for a personalised mug

A good chunk of what we print is custom: a photo, a few words, or both, put on a mug for one particular person. Most of our best ones are in jokes we cannot show you on a family friendly website, so here are the ones we can.

Printed coffee cups, too. That one is for the people typing it into Google.

For the people you like

Names

Never find your name on a shop bought mug? Odd spelling? Named after a great aunt nobody can pronounce? We will print it properly, with graphics and colours to suit, for you, the kids, your mates, or your mates' kids.

Photos

Kids, pets, pet kids, the odd family member, a place you love, the car you are far too fond of. One side, both sides, or wrapped the whole way round.

We send a proof of every personalised mug before it is printed.

The unflattering photo

Did a friend make a complete idiot of themselves while you happened to have your phone out? Perfect. The mug may well get smashed, but it will be the funniest three seconds of the year. Film the handover.

Kids' drawings

The fridge is full and they have just handed you another masterpiece. We print a lot of these for parents, grandparents, aunties, uncles and teachers. We are not saying it is a bribe. We are not not saying it either.

Sayings and quotes

A line, a lyric, a psalm, a poem that reminds you of someone in particular. Printed on a mug it makes a lovely gift, and there is a fair chance of baked goods coming back the other way.

In jokes

We will not understand it. We may have to hide it from our kids. We will still print it. Send us the line and we will send you a proof.

For teams, schools and businesses

School fundraising

Mugs or drink bottles as a fundraiser. School logo on one side, a name, a quote or a child's own drawing on the other. Every single one can be different.

Our business brains can help with the pricing so the fundraising actually works for you.

Sports teams, dance groups and clubs

Team photo and logo, or a photo of Grandma's little dancer with her name on it. Lasts a good deal longer than a chocolate bar, and is genuinely useful afterwards.

Company names and logos

Serve the flat white in something branded. It is a good reminder of who you are, and a better conversation starter if you put something witty on it.

Also a far better giveaway than another calendar. Ours outlast twelve months.

Staff and co-worker gifts

One off or a big run, each one personalised with a name, job title, quote or fail moment, with the company logo on the other side.

One workplace we print for saves up the year's best quotes for the Christmas party. Makes the work do a good deal less awkward every time.
