No spam. No weird herd emails. Just a little extra convenience.
How do I place an order? Easy!

- Find something you love (this is usually the hardest part).
- Click Add to Cart.
- Head to checkout, enter your details, and choose your payment method.
- Sit back while we handcraft/pick, pack, and send your Coffee & Moo goodies your way.
Can I cancel or change my order?
If we haven't started making your order yet, we'll do our best to help.
Because many of our products are hand-pressed, hand-sublimated, or made to order, changes aren't always possible once production has begun.
If you need to make a change, please contact us as soon as possible using the contact form below or email us at hello@coffeeandmoo.co.nz.
We'll always do our best to moo-ve things around for you.

CUSTOM & PERSONALISED DESIGNS
Do you make character-inspired designs?
We don't create direct copies of copyrighted characters (because orange jumpsuits aren't really our colour 😅).
However, if you're after a particular vibe, aesthetic, creature, or something inspired by your favourite fandom, we can often create a unique design that captures the feeling without copying official artwork.
If you're not sure, send us a message—we're always happy to chat about what's possible.

Our mugs can be personalised with names, dates, quotes or your own wording.

Do you make slightly feral designs?
Absolutely.
Cute? ✔ Yep.
Cozy? ✔ Of course.
Cheeky?✔ Every day.
Slightly feral? ✔ That's practically our business model.
Nothing fazes us; we will put anything on a mug and a tee if we can.
From wholesome to hilarious (and occasionally just a tiny bit inappropriate), we believe life is too short for boring mugs, plain tees, or forgettable gifts.
How many Coffee & Moo products is too many?
We honestly don't believe that's a real question.
There's always room for one more mug.
One more tee.
One more gift.
And if someone tells you that you already have enough...
...they're probably just jealous.
Why choose Coffee & Moo?
Because life's too short for boring gifts.
Everything we create or carefully curate is chosen to make people smile.
Whether you're shopping for yourself or someone you love, you'll find products that are thoughtful, funny, heartfelt, a little bit cheeky, and occasionally just the right amount of feral.
Coffee & Moo isn't just about what you buy.
It's about finding something that feels like you.
Still can't find the answer you're looking for?
