Expert Notes

The Dad's Garage Mug is one for dads who spend their weekends in the garage. It shows a collage of vintage garage signs, auto parts adverts, tyre shop boards and workshop slogans, as a print that wraps all the way round. On the ceramic mugs the colour you choose sets the inside and the handle, and a darker colour is the practical pick for a workshop. Every colour comes as an 11oz ceramic mug, and White comes in the most sizes, from a 10oz bone china mug to a 20oz mug. The print is tested to over 800 dishwasher cycles, so it copes with daily use. Avoid scourers on the print and dry it before stacking.

The Brand

Sipfull of Design

Sipfull of Design is a small, family-run studio near Lewes in East Sussex that hand-presses mugs, travel mugs and drinkware. Danni designs and Guy runs the studio side; they started on Etsy in early 2024, launched their own website in August 2025 and say they have since pressed more than 23,000 mugs. In 2026 the studio was named regional winner of Retail & E-Commerce StartUp of the Year at the South East StartUp Awards. Hand-pressing lets it run a design right round the mug, so many of its prints are full-wrap rather than stopping short of the handle.

At The Drivers HQ we sell Sipfull of Design's motoring mugs online with UK-wide delivery. Popular choices include the All Oils Vintage Mug, the Built for Speed Mug and the Old Racing Cars Mug.
