Leaving Mugs They'll Actually Keep
Someone's handed in their notice, and the leaving whip-round has landed on you. A generic "Good Luck In Your New Role" mug from the shop down the road says nothing. A personalised leaving mug says everything – their name, the in-joke only your team gets, or a message you'd never say to their face sober. Upload a photo, add a name, drop in the leaving date, and we'll turn it into a mug they'll actually use at the new job, not shove in a cupboard.
How To Make A Personalised Leaving Mug
Pick a mug, add your text or photo, and preview it on screen before you pay – so the leaving message goes on exactly as you typed it, typos and all (though we'd double check the typos). Most of our leaving mugs are ready to personalise in under a minute, no design skills needed, which matters when the collection's due back by Friday and nobody's started it yet.
Whatever Kind Of Leaving It Is
New job, retirement, maternity leave, moving miles away, or just escaping the same three colleagues at lunch every day for the last five years – there's a mug for it. Go sentimental with a photo of the whole team and a "Don't Forget Us" message, go savage with a definition-style mug that roasts their spreadsheet obsession, or just get their name on something they'll use every morning at the new place, thinking of you (or not).
For Every Kind Of Colleague
The office legend clearing their desk after fifteen years gets the Legend mug. The work wife or work husband abandoning you for a better commute gets something sentimental. The one who's leaving to "focus on other opportunities" gets the mug with the joke only the group chat will understand. And the colleague nobody's quite sure why is leaving gets a name mug and a card that just says good luck.
Made And Printed In The UK, Fast
Every leaving mug is an 11oz ceramic mug, printed using dye sublimation so the design doesn't fade, crack or peel after a few trips through the dishwasher. We design, print and pack every order ourselves in our own UK workshop – nothing is drop-shipped and nothing is outsourced – so when the leaving do gets moved forward a week (it always does), we can still get there in time.
Leaving Mug FAQs
What can I put on a personalised leaving mug?
Whatever you like within reason – a name, a leaving message, a photo of the team, an in-joke, a job title roast, or all of the above depending on the design. You'll see exactly how it looks before you pay.
How quickly can I get a leaving mug made?
Every mug is made to order and printed in our UK workshop, then dispatched quickly so it's ready even when the leaving date moves forward. Delivery options and timings are shown at checkout.
Can I add a photo of the whole team?
Yes – on our photo mugs you can upload a group photo and crop it to fit, then add a name or message underneath.
What if they're leaving for a new job, not retiring?
Same mugs work either way – swap "Happy Retirement" for "Good Luck In The New Job" (or something less polite) in the message field and it's sorted.
Are these mugs actually good quality, or a novelty that breaks?
They're proper 11oz ceramic mugs, dishwasher and microwave safe, printed to survive daily use rather than one wash. Built to become their go-to mug at the new desk, not a drawer filler.
Do I get to see the design before it's printed?
Always. You'll get an instant on-screen preview of the finished mug before checkout, so there are no surprises when it lands at the office.
