Personalised Secret Santa Mug for a Work Colleague – Funny Staff Pass Office Gift

Drawn a work colleague's name for Secret Santa? This funny personalised Secret Santa mug gives them an official-looking staff pass with one very important privilege: mug access. Their name sits above the line "Best colleague the Secret Santa budget allowed", so it gets a laugh at the office gift swap and makes their brew easy to spot in the tea round.

The design

A bold red STAFF PASS header, an illustrated ID portrait, "Dept: Everyone", a barcode and a green "Access: Mug" clearance label, with festive red and green stripes around the mug. It's printed on both sides, so the joke faces out whichever hand they hold it in.

Choose your size

• 11oz – £9.99: the classic office mug, and inside a £10 Secret Santa budget
• 15oz – £12.99: a bigger mug for the colleague who lives on coffee
