Category: Funny Mugs

Just added this potential ‘Designer Coffee Mug’ to our line-up of funny quote coffee mugs:

Now you may be wondering why I’ve put single quotemarks around ‘Designer Coffee Mug’ above. And it’s not because that’s how I would describe or announce my coffee mugs (or tea mugs for that matter). No, it’s because I just got off the phone to an Etsy specialist who suggested I use that phrase in my listings!

Is This a Designer Coffee Mug?

Would you describe the mug pictured on the left here a designer coffee mug? No really, it’s a genuine question. I’m curious as to whether you would accept that description as a present for you or your ‘loved one’. Yea, I deliberately used ‘loved one’ there in quotes LOL.

I will say the mug is a quality product. Not just saying that – I got two of these mugs myself as I like them so much, They have a nice weight and the two-toned look is something a bit different to all those white ones out there. But ‘designer’ coffee mug’? Is that something you wouldn’t argue with? Let me know.

There are of course other similar funny mugs (at the time of writing) that use different wording and different fonts. Once again I am trying to cater for different tastes to see what people like. Hope you like it.

See this designer coffee mug and the range of other funny mugs we have here:

Just added these four to our funny mugs for him or her collection, since we were a bit thin on the ground in this section:

Don’t get me wrong, I have no problem using the odd expletive myself now and again, but I don’t believe in shoving it front of everyone unless they ask for it. I’m guessing it may be offensive for some people. What about you…?

Funny Mugs for Him or Her as Gifts

There are a few other mugs in my funny mugs section (at the time of writing). You may want to check those out too. Hope you like them.

Here are a few more mugs added to the funny mug sayings collection in my shop. I’ve just added these to have a small base collection of funny mug sayings that people can choose. If any of these take off then it may be worthwhile adding yet more.

I am in two minds about these funny mugs. As I’ve said before in a previous funny mug post, I want to specialise in Star Trek, Star Wars and Sci-Fi mugs, but it all boils down to whether these are in demand, certainly here in the UK. It’s a bigger market in the USA and I’ll probably open another shop just to deal with that market separately. Again funny mug sayings or funny mug quotes are big in the USA but there’s also a big market for stuff like Star Trek mugs. We shall see.

So, here’s my first batch of funny mugs for the UK mug shop shown here (not including the ‘I has the dumb’ mug I talked about in my first post):

Funny Mugs Range So Far

Anything that makes you laugh out loud?

There’s one mug amongst the funny mug sayings list you can see above that gets a lot of attention. Can you guess which one it is? I’ll reveal that in a future post.

Anyway, as always, each of these mug quotes is available in any of 12 colours; red, bordeaux red, orange, yellow, light blue, black, green, sunshine yellow, antique pink, light green, cambridge blue and cobalt blue.

They really are nice quality. Yeah, I know you’d expect me to say that, but I bought two of them for myself in the office! Yep, I paid for them, they were that good LOL. See for yourself anyway, you can check out the range here:

It took a while before deciding what I should choose as the first mug on my new Etsy shop, UK Mug Shots.

That’s the procrastinator in me. In the end I just chose something almost at random, just to get things going! Initially, I’ve chosen Sci-Fi and Funny as the two categories to go into my shop. ‘Funny’ because that’s clearly a very popular mug type that gets chosen out there, and ‘Sci-Fi’ simply because that’s what I particularly enjoy.

UK Mug Shots – Now Open

Anyway, I went with a funny mug to start things off. Of course, like any new beginning, it was a lot of work and figuring out before the mug design got anywhere near the shop! In the end, I felt exactly like what this first mug quoted, LOL.

It still makes me laugh today.

I ought to get one of these for my office for the times I need a strong cup of coffee. Right now I have a Science mug and a Star Wars mug (from my own range), even though Star Trek is my favoured topic. Go figure.

Well, I hope it tickles a mouth or two out there as it has mine. We all need cheering up at times (and especially at the time of writing this – the lovely Covid is still plaguing us all – will be nice when someone reads this and sees it as ‘old’ news).

Ironically, online ordering has increased massively as I started this shop (coincidentally) AND it’s just before Christmas, at a time when many physical shops are suffering. It kind of makes me feel guilty, but I didn’t plan it this way. Let’s hope they make it through. OK, the conversation getting a bit depressing now, so let’s finish on a more positive note…

I’ve started adding more humorous mugs to the shop to hopefully get a few more people smiling out there and Sci-Fi will be following swiftly. Cheers!
