How to Create a Best Friend Mug?

A best friend mug is more than just a cup—it’s a thoughtful gift that celebrates your bond. Whether you’re designing it as a surprise for your BFF or creating a matching set to share, making a custom mug is easier than ever. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you design the perfect friendship mug.

Step 1: Choose the Right Mug Base

Before customizing, decide on the basics:

  • Size: Standard mugs are 11 oz or 15 oz. If your friend loves big cups of coffee or tea, go for the larger size.

  • Material: Ceramic is the most popular, but you can also find glass, enamel, or stainless steel options.

  • Color: White is the most common background for designs, but colorful mugs can add personality.

👉 On Liz Ger, you’ll find durable ceramic mugs in different sizes, perfect for customization.

Step 2: Pick a Theme

Think about what makes your friendship unique. Popular themes for best friend mugs include:

  • Friendship Quotes: “Besties Forever,” “Partners in Crime,” or “You’re My Person.”

  • Funny Sayings: Inside jokes, puns, or playful nicknames.

  • Matching Designs: One mug says “Better” and the other says “Together.”

  • Photo Mugs: Upload your favorite picture together.

Liz Ger’s personalized best friend mugs let you add text, artwork, or even photos, making your design one-of-a-kind.

Step 3: Add Personalization

This is where the magic happens. You can include:

  • Names or initials

  • A meaningful date (friendship anniversary, birthday, or trip memory)

  • A personal message or inside joke

  • Cartoon avatars or illustrations representing you and your best friend

With Liz Ger’s easy customization options, you can preview your design before ordering to make sure it’s just right.

Step 4: Ensure Quality & Durability

The best friend mug should not only look good but also last. Check that it’s:

  • Microwave and dishwasher safe (for daily use)

  • Printed with vibrant, long-lasting colors

  • Made of sturdy material

Liz Ger mugs are crafted with high-quality ceramic and premium printing methods, ensuring your gift remains as beautiful as your friendship.

Step 5: Add the Finishing Touch

When gifting, presentation matters! Pair the mug with:

  • A bag of your friend’s favorite coffee or tea

  • A handwritten note or friendship card

  • Matching mugs so you both share the design

Final Thoughts

Creating a best friend mug is simple, fun, and meaningful. By choosing the right design and adding personal touches, you’ll have a gift your bestie will treasure every time they sip their favorite drink.
