Personalised Certificate of Survival Mug – Funny Christmas Award Gift for a Work Colleague
Drawn a work colleague's name for Secret Santa? Give them official recognition for surviving another year of "just checking in" emails. This funny personalised Certificate of Survival mug puts their name centre stage on an award signed by Santa himself, so it gets a laugh at the office gift swap and makes their brew easy to spot in the tea round.
Type their first name or work nickname and we'll print it in the middle of the certificate on both sides. The wording, date, signature and rosette stay as shown.
The design
A Certificate of Survival with Santa's signature and a red and gold rosette, dated 25th Dec 2026 and "Officially recognised by Secret Santa (budget: £10)". It's printed on both sides, so the award faces out whichever hand holds the brew.
Choose your size
- 11oz – £9.99: the classic office mug, and inside the £10 budget on the certificate
- 15oz – £12.99: a bigger mug for a long afternoon at their desk
