I'm looking to buy a friend a coffee mug with her name on it for an Xmas present. She's really busy all the time, was thinking of adding "busy as a bee" under her name with a picture of a bee in a flower doing its thing. Any online places you guys know where I can get this done at?

We didn't like any of the listed designs so we contacted one of the sellers that we bought from previously and they made a custom design for us.

Tip: pick someone that has reasonable prices for both the mug and shipping. There were a few that had good prices for the mug, but with shipping was like $30 for a coffee mug. Crazy.

Thanks. :)

edit- Nice mug Weber!

thx bro

you could make your own by drawing on a cheap mug and baking it in the oven. She will appreciate it just that extra bit more so hopefully you can get more :amazed:

My oven is broken, will just do it this way I think. Plan to give it to her near xmas and wear a Santa beard handing out candy canes to everyone in the restaurant she works at. Just a good friend.

Go to a local store.
Some screen printing shop will be able to do it for you .
You can probably bring in a mug, or they have them, and bring in
the drawing, and they'll put it on the mug.

Are you going to give it to her before or after handing out the candy canes? Or are you going to try and just do both at the same time?

I could try that out, thanks.

I'll juggle and hope the mug hits her hands before the candy canes do. Naw, i'll put the candy canes in my backpack, then once I give her the present i'll go around the restaurant. Whatever is left i'll just hand to random people outside while still wearing the Santa beard. She's also the best woman I've ever met and i'd do anything for her, so hope she likes the mug atleast.

I don't think your friend would like having a mug with a picture of a bee sticking his thing down the throat of a flower. Get a picture of a cat in a flower licking the stem provocatively! It'll be so cute and the caption can read "flowery puss" or something to that effect.

Lets be real though.

If one of my friends bought me a mug for christmas, I'd make a mug out of my friend and replace the friend with her mug.

There is a reason for why it's a coffee mug with a bee heading to flowers, she will understand the meaning of it. Not just some random gift and I don't expect a gift back, I prefer giving to people without receiving anything in return but her smile and knowing it made her happy.

Did you cheer her up when a guy insulted her slightly crooked nose by saying "Who cares what that guy thinks? Whenever we're all out at a nightclub, within 5 minutes of hitting the bar you have guys surrounding you like bees around the most beautiful flower."

Maybe check a gift store at your local mall, see if they sell mugs and see if they engrave there as well.

She loved my mug, said it was her favourite gift she had got. :) Person who made the mug said it was also her favourite mug she's ever made.
