All DD wants from Santa is....

A bloody personalised cup.... easy enough you may think... except she wants a very specific cup.... the type available at attraction gift shops... photo attached.

Her name is never on any & I've scoured online to find one but obviously I can't!! So I thought if I can just find where they actually make them??? Which I can't!!

Can anybody help me out 🙇🏻‍♀️

We need the name first

LIZS · 22/11/2018 12:55

Not on the High Street ?

isseywithcats · 22/11/2018 12:55

maybe phone a gift shop and ask them where they get theirs from

AjasLipstick · 22/11/2018 12:57

Those are made in China. You'd be better off searching for one with her name on rather than the manufacturer.

Here's one manufacturer but it's improbable that you can order one cup.

is there a cup with no name? buy that then find someone with a cricut and have them place her name on it ( if you dont know anyone with one, find a cricut group on facebook and ask if it can be done)

I have seen these are every motor away services I have ever stopped in.

SplishSplashSplosh · 22/11/2018 13:00

What is her name??

I've seen the cup before but can keep a lookout

TellerTuesday4EVA · 22/11/2018 13:33

Exactly Stressful we see them everywhere but we won't get DD's name on one so hoping I could find the manufacturer to make one.

I can't say the name because it will be very outing with other posts etc... it's unusual but quite normal if that makes sense.

I've just had a brainwave on my lunch break Seren that I could buy two mugs with the letters I need & some how adjust to make one... is that similar what cricut is??

Quite normal/sensible for someone not to want to reveal their DC's name TBH.

I wouldn't order off alibaba/aliexpress/wish even if you find a customisable one. Mugs sold in brick and mortar stores will be food safe whereas straight from China probably won't be.

I think you might have success looking for the manufacturer of the Services ones. Why not stop at a service station and look at the bottom of the cups?

StressfullTimes · 22/11/2018 13:37

Why don't you go somewhere that sells the mugs and just look on the bottom for the manufacturer name then email them, Twitter whatever it takes. I don't think a makeshift mug will do!

BertieBotts · 22/11/2018 13:41

Looks like one of the suppliers of these mugs is the German company Depesche. However they only sell wholesale, they don't sell directly, so they probably wouldn't make a custom one. But you could email them and ask if they produce her name, and if so, whether they have a stockist in the UK?

BlackrockMum · 22/11/2018 13:44

Is her name one that might be more common in another country, I have a friend who visits from abroad and always scours shops near us for similar items as she works with an Imogen , and her housemate is a Ciara, which are both names she says are never found on items like mugs, where she lives, but we have found them at times, if maybe you could check lists of top 50 girls names in other countries you might find where its more likely to be stocked, then you can NC and put out a request

Surpriseitsme · 22/11/2018 13:44

Change her name to Lucy. Theres always a Lucy.
