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.
