Some gifts get saved for special occasions. A custom mug gets used every single morning. With a favorite image front and center, your clients start each day with a sip and a smile. Here are our favorite ways to make mugs part of your holiday lineup.

## 6 Ways to Gift a Custom Coffee Mug

1. **Feature the holiday photo.** Put this year's family portrait on a mug to match their holiday cards, so the season's favorite image gets used all winter long.
2. **Cheer on the team.** Turn a favorite sports photo into a mug sports parents will proudly sip from all season. It's a sweet way to celebrate their athlete long after the final game.
3. **Celebrate the pets.** A favorite pet portrait makes every coffee break a little sweeter.
4. **Make it for grandparents.** A mug with the grandkids front and center is a gift grandparents will reach for every morning.
5. **Let clients gift them too.** Starting at $5.50, mugs make easy stocking stuffers and teacher gifts. Offer them to clients so they can order their own for everyone on their list.
6. **Share your brand.** Put your studio logo on a mug for client thank-you gifts or referral rewards.

## Presentation Tips

- **Fill it up.** Tuck a cocoa packet, a candy cane, or a few coffee beans inside before wrapping.
- **Make it a matching set.** Gift the mug alongside a framed print or ornament featuring the same image.
- **Tie on a tag.** Loop a gift tag around the handle with a short personal note.
