Personalized Tumblers: The Gift They Will Actually Use Every Day
Personalized Tumblers: The Gift They Will Actually Use Every Day
Most gifts get opened, admired, and put on a shelf. A tumbler goes to work, to the gym, to soccer practice, and back to the kitchen counter every night. Put someone's name on it and it becomes the cup nobody else in the house is allowed to borrow.
Every tumbler we sell is personalized and made to order in our shop in Los Angeles. Here is how we make them and how to pick the right one.

Three Ways We Make a Tumbler Personal
Engraved
Engraving cuts through the colored coating to reveal the stainless steel underneath. Nothing is printed on the surface, so there is nothing to peel, scratch off, or fade. It is the most durable option and the one I recommend for anything that will be used hard, like a daily coffee tumbler or a gift for someone who works outdoors.
Our 40 oz monogram tumbler and 20 oz monogram pattern tumbler are two of the most popular gifts in the shop. For something bolder, our engraved cheetah 40 oz tumbler wraps the whole cup in leopard print and adds a name. It has a handle, a lid with a sip or straw opening, and comes in multiple colors. Prefer a slimmer cup? Our 20 oz leopard print tumbler comes in a whole rainbow of colors.

Sublimated
Sublimation infuses full color artwork into a specially coated tumbler, so you can have a photo, a pattern, or a design with as many colors as you like. It is the right choice when the gift is all about the artwork, like our shimmer holiday designs or a custom team tumbler with a name and number.
It also works on frosted glass, which has a soft, elegant look that makes it a favorite for Mother's Day and teachers. You can send us your own design, logo, or text, or choose one of our marble stained glass designs with a name in script.

Permanent Vinyl
Permanent vinyl is cut to shape and applied by hand, which makes it ideal for names, monograms, and short phrases in bold, solid colors. It is a great fit for group orders like bridal parties and teams, where everyone gets the same look with their own name, and it pairs well with tumblers in almost any color.
And One for Your Sense of Humor
Not every gift has to be sentimental. Our Have a Nice Day mug looks perfectly polite from the front. Then they tip it back for the last sip and find the message engraved on the bottom. It is a favorite for coworkers, best friends, and white elephant exchanges, and it comes in several colors. Prefer something bigger? It also comes as a 20 or 30 oz tumbler, and there is a glass mug version too.

A Technique You Will Not Find Anywhere Else
Tumblers are where my patent started. While experimenting with engraved tumblers early on, I developed a method for etching clean, detailed designs onto powder coated metal without a laser. In 2025 it was granted U.S. Patent No. 12,371,797. You can read the full story in I Got a Patent! Here's What That Really Means.
Who It Is For
- Christmas and holiday gifts. Personalized, practical, and easy to ship. Order early, since everything is made to order.
- Bridal parties. A matching set with each name makes getting ready photos look great and gives everyone something to keep. See our bridal party tumblers.
- Kids. Our personalized kids tumbler is a 12 oz stainless steel sippy cup with fun patterns and their name, so it never gets mixed up at school.
- Teachers, coaches, and teams. A name and a team color go a long way at the end of a season.
- Birthdays and Mother's Day. A monogram or a name in script turns an everyday cup into a keepsake.
- White elephant and office gift exchanges. The Have a Nice Day mug gets a laugh every time.
- Yourself. Nobody will walk off with your cup again.
How to Care for Your Tumbler
Personalized tumblers are hand wash only. Wash with warm water and mild soap, do not soak, and skip the dishwasher. A little care keeps the engraving crisp, the colors bright, and the vinyl in place for years.
Final Thoughts
A personalized tumbler is a small gift that shows up every day. Choose engraved for durability, sublimated for full color artwork, or permanent vinyl for bold names and monograms, and we will make it by hand, with their name on it.
