The Proper Mug Shop® is a small, family-run boutique business based on the south coast of England, offering a unique collection of novelty mugs. We are two brothers who believe that relatable humour and high quality don’t have to be mutually exclusive. Tired of the tacky stuff, we’ve made it our mission to create proper mugs that tickle your fancy and stand the test of time.

Every design is carefully developed in-house, combining original artwork, British humour, and kiln-fired decoration to create mugs that feel a little more special than your average gift-shop find. We’re passionate about producing mugs with character, quality, and a story to tell.

To us, a mug is the perfect go-to gift. Whether it’s tea, coffee, or even a cheeky bit of rum (we don’t judge!), it’s there for those much-needed moments and serves as a daily reminder of the message printed on it. Everyone deserves a proper mug, and let’s face it, everyone could do with a bit of joy in the morning.
