Personalised horse gifts under £25.
Under £25 doesn't have to mean cheap. Two pieces fit the band — the 11oz horse name mug at £17.99 and the heavy black cotton tote at £19.99 — same serif typography as the rest of the range, on materials that get used daily.
Both are everyday-yard-life gifts: the mug for early-morning yard tea, the tote for shavings runs and tack-shop trips. They get used; they don't live in a drawer. Operator note: of these two, the mug ships about 2× the tote — it's the universal gift, the tote is for active yard people specifically.

№ 002 lots · personalised horse gifts under £25Personalised horse mug, UK made — their name wrapped around an 11oz ceramic mug. The yard mug they'll actually use. Dishwasher and microwave safe, made to order in the UK.
Heavy black cotton tote with their name in cream serif. Shavings, hay, kit — the bag for everything. Made to order in the UK.
What £25 actually buys
Two products sit in this band: the 11oz personalised horse mug at £17.99 and the heavy black cotton tote at £19.99. Both use the same editorial typography as the rest of the range — the horse's name in oxblood serif capitals, breed in monospace small caps, an optional yard name below. The same design that appears on the framed canvas (from £109) appears on the £17.99 mug. The difference is the substrate, not the care in the design.
At this price point the question is not quality — it is use case. The mug is for someone with a kitchen. The tote is for someone with an active yard life. Both are made to order, dispatched in 1–3 working days, and arrive within a week.
The mug vs the tote — which to pick
- Pick the mug if: the recipient has a yard kitchen, drinks tea or coffee before or after riding, or you are not sure what to get and want the safe choice. The mug is the most universally appropriate gift in the catalogue.
- Pick the tote if: the recipient is actively on the yard daily — mucking out, moving shavings, running to the tack shop. The 8oz cotton construction holds up to yard use in a way lighter totes do not.
- Pair them (£37.98): the most popular combined order in this price band. Kitchen and yard in one parcel. Both use the same typography so they read as a set.
Occasions that suit a sub-£25 gift
Stocking fillers are the most common occasion for a sub-£25 gift. The mug at £17.99 is the reliable stocking filler that does not read as cheap: the personalisation does the work that a £5 branded novelty mug cannot. Yard Christmas swaps, where a price limit is set in advance, almost always land somewhere in the £10–£25 band — the mug sits neatly in that range.
Secondary occasions: small thank-you gifts from horse owners to grooms or working pupils (the mug is the standard token there), and quick last-minute birthday gifts for a horse owner when the lead time is short. Production is 1–3 working days, so an order placed on Monday is almost always with you by Friday.
Delivery — free UK delivery
Free UK delivery applies to everything, with no minimum order. The tote at £19.99 and the mug at £17.99 both ship free on their own — no threshold to reach.
