Just in, more personalised mugs for Valentines Day!

Posted on January 31, 2012 by admin

We decided that we love Valentine’s Day so much that we’ve created some new personalised mugs designs so you’ve got even more to choose from. ♥ With just a couple of weeks until Valentine’s Day it’s time to start thinking what to buy or you could end up in big trouble! Trust us we know ;-)

You're Just My Cup of Tea Personalised MugOur brand new valentines mug is already proving very popular, our ‘You’re just my cup of tea’ mug. This mug is perfect for a Valentine’s gift, featuring a cute multi pink and red toned heart background, then your chosen name and ‘You’re Just My Cup of Tea’ design on the front and your personal message or photo on the back. Imagine how many brownie points you can earn if your wife or girlfriend could proudly drink out of this mug in the office!

Keep Calm Love MugOnce we’d created one new personalised mugs design we didn’t stop there, we created another! We started to notice that some of you were using our Personalised Keep Calm mug to send your messages of love, so we created a Keep Calm Love mug so that you could create something a little bit special. Our Personalised Keep Calm Love Mug features a heart instead of the usual crown at the top of your message, and then starts with the text ‘Keep Calm and Carry on Loving’ followed by your chosen name. Now we know that sometimes you really like our designs but you want to tweak them a bit, for example you might prefer Keep Calm and Love, or Keep Calm and Carry on Cuddling. As we create each mug design individually (no nasty automated computer designs!) we can easily accomodate your personalised mugs needs. Just drop a short note in the ‘design instructions’ box which is located at the bottom of every mug order page and tell us how you would like it changed. Remember we can only print on the outside of the mug due to our personalisation process so although we would love to print on the handle, inside or bottom of the mug for you unfortuntately we can’t (yet!).

If neither of these mugs tickle your fancy then why not get really creative and make your own design. If you have access to some image editing software such as Photoshop then you can use our size guidelines on our image advice page to create a design that fits the style of mug you like. For example our standard ceramic personalised mugs have a printable area of 20 x 8cm. If you create a design this size then upload it to one of our full wrap photo mugs you’ve got your very own valentine’s creation!

So there you go, plenty of ideas to create your very own personalised mugs for valentines day. Hope you have a happy one :-)

Know your name mugs from your personalised mugs

Posted on January 13, 2012 by admin

Name mugs are a classic gift that have been around for years and years. Popular in card and gift shops, we all know that everyone will use a name mug gift. In recent years, however, pre printed name mugs are becoming less popular, particulary with people naming their children with less common names and with a variation of spellings. Take one of the top girls names of 2011 as an example, Isabella. This name can be spelt in several different ways and with slight variations such as Isabel, or Isabelle it’s impossible for pre-printed name mugs to be able to cover all these options. This is where our personalised name mugs really come into their own, as you can have anything printed without searching the earth for the right spelling!

So a personalised name mug does just what it says, and you can do more than just personalise the name of most of the mugs in our product range. For example, a name mug can be personalised with a name and a message that could be commemorating an occasion such as a birthday, or you could print a funny saying that the person uses. Alternatively, how about finding out the meaning of someone’s name and putting a fun twist on it. Check out a google search of meaning of names, and you’re sure to find some inspiration. Remember we can print whatever you want and there’s no extra cost for more words, so make sure you fill it up.

As well as choosing the wording for your mug you’re also going to have to pick a design – you’ve got much more choice than your standard pre-printed personalised mug! We’ve got name mugs with hearts, spots, stars, or just simple text all in a choice of fonts and colours. We’ve also got several pre designed mugs where you can just slot in your chosen name, so you don’t have to think about picking a colour and a font – the ultimate lazy gift! Take a look at our big name mug, or our personalised Keep Calm mugs, both perfect examples!

So next time you think of picking up a name mug in a shop, stop and remember you can create your own for the same price here at personalised mugs, and with our fast turnaround times you won’t have to wait long either. A perfect personalised gift for under £10, what more could you want! :-)

I want a personalised mug, where do I start?

Posted on January 7, 2012 by admin

So you’ve heard about these personalised mugs but you’re not sure where to start, well read on and we’ll get you sorted in no time. If you’ve got a photo to put on a mug then that’s great, but remember that’s not essential as there’s loads of mug designs and name mugs where you can simple add a name or message. So, let’s get started…

Firstly let’s start with a few pointers. If your mug is for a special occassion such as a birthday, valentines or mother’s day then check out the pre designed mug templates that are available. All our personalised mugs templates can be customised either with your photo or message, and some with both and they can really help if your not feeling very inspired to create a design yourself! If your mug is for yourself or not an occasion gift then we still have templates for you. Check out our sports mug templates, Keep Calm Mugs, or our fun retro mugs for example, again you’ll be inspired!

Next pointer, if you don’t want to use a mug template do you already know exactly how you want your personalised mug to look? If you answer yes then you’ve got an easy job to create your mug. If you just want a mug with a message printed then it’s super simple, check out our original personalised mug where you can write your message and choose it’s location, font and colour. If you want a photo, or photo and message mug, then go straight to photo mugs where you’ve got a great selection of layouts and mug types. Remember all our photo mugs allow you to add text in a choice of fonts and there’s also a selection of background designs, all of which are free to add to your design.

If you’ve decided you don’t want an occassion mug, or a photo mug, or a mug with message then there’s don’t give up, there’s still personalised mugs for you! Just check out our name mugs section and we guarantee that there’s something in there for you. Office dwellers especially love these mugs, especially those where you can add your tea or coffee recipe – it makes it easier for other people to make you a coffee. :-)

Last pointer, and probably one of the best to know, is that all our personalised mugs are hand designed so if you let us know in the design instructions box on your order exactly what you want our designers will do their very best to create your perfect mug. There’s no automatically computer generated designs here!

And after all that, if you’re still after some mug-spiration check out our top sellers of the week underneath our website navigation down the left hand side of the page. The personalised mugs that make this chart are always popular so you know you can’t go wrong!

p.s. one final final tip, make sure you like our Facebook page as we always release new designs and special offers there first. Everyone loves a cheeky discount! ;-)

Starting a new year is the perfect time to create some new resolutions, remember old times and create new goals for the future.

So our solution here at Personalised Mugs is to create something that will inspire you to remember why you made your resolutions in the first place, and keep that inspiration somewhere you can see it every day, and guess what we came up with to create – a personalised mug! You can use one of our ceramic photo mugs with a photo to help inspire your, whether it’s to lose weight, save money, or visit a new place, you can have this motivation looking at you every day. If you have more than one photo then our snapshot personalised mugs can be printed with up to three photos and captions.

If your goals for 2012 don’t have any photo’s yet, then why not just use our text only personalised mug to write down an inspiration phrase, or use one of spotty name personalised mugs, which can feature your name on one side and then your resolution on the other.

Let Personalised Mugs help inspire you in your goals for the new year, use the voucher code IMINSPIRED and get 10% off your order in January, and good luck with the resolutions, let’s all try and keep them together!
