🧶 Personalised Knitting Mug — The Sweetest Cuppa for Nan
A thoughtful, practical gift from Spotted Lizard Prints
When you think of Nan, you probably think of kettle-on kindness, woolly wonders, and the comforting click-click of needles. Whether she’s mid-row on a cardigan for the newest grandchild or teaching the next generation how to cast on, your Nan’s knitting is pure love you can wear. So when it’s time to choose a gift that feels just as heartfelt, nothing beats a Personalised Knitting Mug from Spotted Lizard Prints — custom printed with the name you choose and a charming knitting design that celebrates her favourite hobby.
From “Nana”, “Nanny”, “Gran” and “Grandma” to “Mum”, “Auntie” or a first name, our personalised mugs turn everyday tea breaks into tiny moments of joy. They’re durable, beautiful, and printed in-house by our team in Stafford — because the nicest gifts are the ones made with care.
Personalised Gifts printed by Spotted Lizard Prints.
Hand-printed, hand-packed, and ready to make someone’s day.
Why choose a personalised knitting mug for Nan?
Knitting is more than a pastime — it’s tradition, patience, and warmth woven together. A personalised mug says I see what you do, and I love it. It’s a daily companion for early-morning rows, mid-afternoon unpicking, and those late-night “just one more inch” sessions.
-
A Thoughtful Gesture
Personalisation shows intention. Nan will know you chose this gift for her, not just “a” gift from a shelf. Add her name, a woolly nickname, or a short note to make it unmistakably hers. -
Unique & Memorable
Unlike generic mugs, a custom knitting design becomes a keepsake. Years from now, she’ll still reach for that mug — the one that knows her by name. -
Tailored to Her Tastes
Pick the title she prefers (Nan, Nanny, Grandma, Gran, Granny, Nonna, etc.), choose a favourite colour accent, or add a tiny phrase she always says: “One more row!”, “Purls of wisdom”, “Knits, natter & nice cuppas.” -
An Emotional Connection
The right message on the right mug hits the heart. Pair it with your handwriting inside a card and you’ll have a gift that’s felt, not just seen. -
Long-Lasting Impact
High-quality ceramics plus professional printing mean your design keeps looking bright, crisp, and cheerful — brew after brew.
The mug itself: quality you can feel (and see)
This isn’t “just a mug.” It’s a well-made, everyday essential that feels great in the hand and looks gorgeous on the draining board.
- Material: 100% pure white high-gloss ceramic for a bright, clean canvas
- Capacity: 11 fl oz — the classic, comfy tea/coffee size Nan will use all day
- Approx. size: 3 × 3 × 3.7 in (about 8.3 × 8.3 × 9.4 cm)
- Finish: Smooth gloss with a gentle rim and an easy-grip handle
- Print: Double-sided artwork — so left- and right-handed knitters see the design perfectly
- Method: Sublimation dye printing for rich colour, sharp detail and excellent durability (no peeling, cracking or flaking)
Because we print in-house in Stafford, every mug meets our own high standards. We check alignment, colour, and clarity before it leaves the workshop — a quality promise you can taste with every sip.
Exactly how we personalise it (and ideas you can steal)
You supply the name or title; we set it beautifully. Keep it short and sweet for the cleanest, classic look.

- “Nanny’s Knitting Fuel”

Left or right?
We can mirror layouts so the name faces outwards in photos or towards Nan while she knits. Just pop a note with your preference.
More than mugs: build a cosy knitting bundle
Make your gift feel extra considered by pairing the mug with another personalised piece:
-
Knitting Bag / Craft Tote
“Nanny’s Knitting Bag” with her name keeps patterns, yarn and notions tidy. It’s the perfect “open the parcel and gasp” moment when the mug peeks out from inside. -
Personalised Cushion
“Reserved for Nan’s Knitting” — ideal for her favourite chair (and the most photogenic napping spot for the cat). -
Coaster or Enamel Pin
A matching coaster saves the side table. A wool-ball pin adds charm to cardigans and project bags. -
Notebook for Patterns
“Nan’s Notes & Numbers” — because tension, rows and stitch counts deserve their own place.

Why our personalised mugs make brilliant “Gifts for Nan”
Let’s connect the dots: knitting + kettle + quality mug = daily happiness. Here’s why this present lands every time:
-

She’ll use it. A lot. Nothing beats a gift that becomes part of her routine. -
Easy to post, lovely to open
Our packaging is protective, recyclable where possible, and feels special — because unboxing should be part of the pleasure. -
Perfect for any occasion
Birthdays, Christmas, Mother’s Day, Grandparents’ Day, a retirement celebration… or simply “thank you for the jumper.” The size, price and usefulness hit the gift-sweet-spot. -
Fits every décor
Crisp white ceramic with tasteful type and a gentle knitting motif suits country cottages and modern kitchens alike. -
Affordable luxury
It looks boutique and bespoke — without boutique stress.
What to write in the gift note (copy–paste friendly)
- “To the queen of cardigans — thanks for keeping us warm in more ways than one.”
- “Nanny, thanks for teaching us patience one stitch at a time.”
- “Gran, you turn yarn into hugs. Here’s a cuppa to keep you cosy while you do it.”
- “Mum, may your tea stay hot and your purls never drop.”
- “Grandma, here’s to ‘just one more row’ — and one more brew.”
Care & use: keep the print perfect
Our sublimation prints are made to last. For best results:
- Dishwasher: Cool/eco cycles are fine; hand-washing keeps the gloss vibrant for longest.
- Microwave: Safe for quick warming — avoid prolonged super-heating.
- Cleaning: Non-abrasive sponges only; steer clear of harsh chemicals or scouring pads.
- Storage: Stack with care or display proudly by the kettle (we vote display).
Sizes, specs and feel (for the detail-lovers)
- Capacity: 11 fl oz (around 325 ml)
- Height: ~3.7 in (9.4 cm)
- Diameter: ~3 in (8.3 cm)
- Weight (empty): reassuring but not heavy — a comfortable everyday hold
- Grip: Smooth handle with knuckle room for a relaxed, stable sip
- Edge: Neat, rounded lip for comfy tea and espresso alike
We chose this profile because it’s the Goldilocks of mugs: not too big, not too small, just right for tea, coffee, hot chocolate — or the occasional peppermint when patience runs out and a cable has to be frogged.

Frequently asked questions
Is the print on both sides?
Yes — artwork is printed double-sided so it looks great however Nan holds it.
Can I add more than a name?
Of course. Add a short phrase or date; we’ll lay it out tastefully. If you have a longer message in mind, we’ll advise the most legible arrangement.
Dishwasher and microwave safe?
Yes — though for maximum vibrancy over years of use, we recommend hand-washing and avoiding very high heat cycles.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes — hand printed personalised gifts sent worldwide from our Stafford studio. Shipping options show at checkout.
Can you send directly to Nan?
Absolutely. Add her address and a gift note at checkout; we’ll omit prices.
Do you make matching items?
Yes — totes, cushions, coasters and more. Tell us you’d like a coordinated bundle and we’ll help curate it.
A note on ethical packing & happy unboxing
When you place an order with us, it’s hand-packed by our ethically friendly team with protective materials and a careful eye. Your mug arrives safe, snug and ready to gift — with packaging chosen to be recyclable or reusable wherever possible. It’s better for your parcel, and better for the planet.
Final stitch: a gift Nan will use, love and remember
Knitted jumpers get outgrown. Scarves are loaned and lost. But the Personalised Knitting Mug you choose for Nan? That becomes part of her day — a quiet little ritual before she picks up the needles and turns yarn into love again.
Choose her title, add her name, tuck in a line that sounds like her, and let us print it beautifully on a ceramic mug that’s made to last. Pair it with a knitting bag or cushion if you want to go the extra mile. Either way, you’ll be gifting something practical, personal and full of heart — exactly like the things Nan makes for you.
Don’t settle for generic. Make it personal.
Order your Personalised Knitting Mug — Gift for Nan today and toast to many warm brews and even warmer woollies.
