AURA branded mug with Peppd QR code, steaming on a kitchen counter — scan to reveal a personalised message

Two Ways to Pep Your Mug

Choose the experience that fits the occasion.

Personal Messages

Their name on the mug, your words inside it. Write a series of personal messages — birthday wishes, daily motivations, inside jokes — each one revealed day by day when they scan. Add photos and videos to make it extra special.

Up to 30 messagesPhotos & videosCompletely bespoke

Content Packs

A personalised mug with pre-written content: daily yoga intentions, motivational quotes, mindfulness prompts, and more. Their name on the mug, each message personalised to them. The perfect thoughtful gift, zero effort required.

What They See

How It Works

Four steps from idea to joy in a mug.

1

Choose

Pick personal messages or a content pack. Personal: write up to 30 messages with optional photos and videos. Content pack: browse our collection and pick the perfect theme.

2

Personalise

Their name goes on the mug. Add their email, choose a reveal style (flip, unwrap, or fade), and set the message interval. Their mug, your words.

3

We Print & Ship

Our print partner produces a beautiful mug with a unique QR code. No apps needed — just a phone camera. Ships straight to you or directly to the recipient.

4

Scan & Reveal

Every morning (or whatever interval you choose), they scan the QR code on their mug and reveal the next message with a beautiful animation. A daily dose of joy.

The Reveal Experience

Not just a message. A moment.

Beautiful Animations

Choose from flip, unwrap, or fade-rise reveal styles. Each scan feels like opening a tiny gift.

Time-Gated Messages

One message per interval — daily, weekly, or custom. The anticipation is half the magic.

Countdown Timer

A live countdown shows when the next message unlocks. Something to look forward to with every sip.

Photos & Videos

Photos and videos play inline for a rich multimedia experience. Words are great; memories are better.

Progress Tracker

“Message 3 of 12” — a progress indicator shows how many messages remain. The journey is the joy.

Message Archive

All revealed messages are saved and replayable anytime. A keepsake collection that grows with each scan.

Privacy First

Your Messages, Protected

A gift this personal deserves serious privacy. Here's how we keep your messages safe.

Authenticated Access

Only the intended recipient can see messages after logging in. The QR code alone reveals nothing — your words stay private until they’re meant to be read.

Printer Can’t See Messages

Our print partner receives the QR code and mug specs. They never see message content, recipient details, or sender identity.

Purchaser Controls

Choose your display name as sender. Messages are locked after shipping — they can’t be changed or retracted, protecting the recipient.

Data Retention

Messages and media stored for the life of the gift. Scan analytics aggregated after 12 months. Recipients can request data export or account deletion anytime.

Content Safety

A report mechanism for inappropriate content. We reserve the right to remove content that violates our terms, keeping the experience safe for everyone.

Consent & Transparency

Purchasers confirm they have permission to provide the recipient’s email address. Clear, honest, no surprises.

The Perfect Gift For…

One mug, so many reasons to send one.

Birthdays

30 days of birthday messages, one for each day of the month. Photos, videos, and inside jokes included. Way better than a card they’ll throw away.

New Parents

Daily encouragement and practical tips for the first month. “You’ve got this” messages from friends and family, right when they need them most.

Long Distance

Stay connected across time zones. A daily message that says “I’m thinking of you” better than any text ever could.

Corporate Gifting

Welcome new team members with 30 days of company culture, tips, and introductions. Or reward clients with curated inspiration.

Love it? Send one back!

When all messages are revealed, recipients can easily send a Messaging Mug back to the person who gifted theirs. The joy doesn't end — it comes full circle.

Notification preferences: Purchasers can opt in to get notified each time a message is revealed, or just when all messages are complete.
