How to Design Your Personalised Christmas Mug

We print our mugs with images that YOU provide, so you can use your own photos – family snaps or anything you like – to create something truly unique.

All you need to make a personalised Christmas mug:

• A photo you want printed on the mug

• An electronic device with access to the internet

• No more than 5 minutes of spare time!

How to design a personalised Christmas mug in 4 simple steps:

1. Choose image. Choose your Christmas image

2. Choose mug. Choose your mug

3. Add message. Add a Christmas message

4. Complete order. Complete your order

We’ll talk you through the 4 steps one by one below.

Step 1: Choose Your Christmas Image

To make your personalised Christmas mug you’ll need to upload a digital image to our website.

You can look through your photo storage for the perfect Christmassy image, or take a brand-new picture.

Here are some classic design ideas if you need some inspiration:

• Traditional posed shots of the whole family

• Dramatic wintry scenes: forests, frozen lakes

• Pets curled up in front of the fire

• Your newly decked-out Christmas tree

You can also upload stock photos from open-source image sites like Unsplash and Pixabay. We’ll print any image as long as it’s out of copyright!

Step 2: Choose Your Mug

We sell 4 different mug designs – all made using the best materials for a beautiful, long-lasting result.
