Early version
This is a prototype. It works, but it is rough in places, the mug list has gaps, and market prices are not in yet. You are seeing it early on purpose.
Why this exists
Naples, middle of summer, this afternoon. Four and a half miles on foot in the heat, dripping with sweat, my wife asking me somewhere around mile three why on earth we collect these things.
Got there. Bought the Naples mug. There was an Italia one sat next to it. I stood there trying to picture our shelf at home, decided we already had that one, and left it.
Back on the ship, my kids told me we haven't got it. So it is gone now, unless I pay three times the price online. After four and a half miles. And it is not the first time.
That is the whole problem. Not that I forget what is on the shelf — that I could not check while stood in the shop with the thing in my hand. Every app I tried wanted me sat at the kitchen table. Nobody built the one you need at the till.
Nobody else wanted to go. She had wanted the luxury trip along the Amalfi coast, which we had done before. The kids wanted another day round the pool. I wanted to bring another memory home instead — the sort that pays you back on a wet Wednesday in February, working at the kitchen table, when the cup in your hand is Naples in the middle of summer.
They all love them once they are home, mind. Family and friends round, you put the coffee on, somebody turns their mug over and asks where that one is from. Twenty minutes later everyone is talking about their holidays. That is what these are actually for. Not the shelf. The conversation.
So this is the thing that keeps the story attached to the mug, instead of leaving it to memory. Because today is going to be one of them.
So this is me building the one I wanted. It works offline, so it works in the shop. It is early, the list has holes in it and the prices are not in yet. If you collect these too, tell me what is wrong with it and I will actually fix it.

What this is
A place to keep your mug collection, and the trips that came with it
Tick off what you own, see how much of the world you have covered, and write down who you were with. That is the whole thing.
Tick what you own
Open My mugs, search a city or open a region, and tap the ones on your shelf. Tap twice if you have a spare. If yours is not listed, add it.
Watch the map fill in
Where lights up every country you have brought one home from. It is usually a smaller number than people expect, and a lot more satisfying to grow.
Write down the trip
Stories is for the date, who you were with, and what you remember. Takes a minute per mug. In ten years it is the part you will be glad you did.
Things worth knowing
Your collection is yours
No account needed to use it — everything saves straight to this browser. Which also means clearing your browser would wipe it, so there is a Log in tab at the end of the menu where you can either make it follow you across devices, or just back it up to a file.
Not sure which series you have?
There are eight of them and they are deliberately similar. Which one? at the end of the menu tells you how to spot the difference in about thirty seconds.
Which one is this
Eight series, and most people have been calling theirs the wrong thing for years
No shame in it, they are deliberately similar. Pick one up, look at the base, then feel how thick the wall is. Thirty seconds and you will know exactly what is sat on your shelf.
Help us get this right
This grouping is put together from public collector knowledge, and collectors know it better than we do. Some series overlap, some regions got their own runs, and a few never went on general sale at all. If something here is wrong, say so and it gets fixed.
What you own
What happens to your spares
Nothing yet, and I am not going to pretend otherwise. Marking a spare does not list it anywhere, and nobody else can see it.
Matching people up is the next thing being built — you have a spare Prague, somebody two hundred miles away needs one and has the Lisbon you are missing. When it comes, neither of you will ever see the other's email address, and no money will ever pass through this site. We do not buy, sell, or hold anything.
It only works if the spares are already logged. Mark yours now and you are in it from the first day it opens.
0 of 0
Search for a city you have been to, or open a region below. Tap a row once for collected, twice if you have a spare. Tap the star on any you still need.
Own one that is not on the list?
Add yours and it goes straight into your collection, counts on every screen, and travels in your backup. It gets sent over here too, so the master list gets better for the next person.
Something here look wrong?
Wrong series, wrong country, a mug listed that was never made, a name spelt badly. The list is put together from public collector records and it will have mistakes in it. You know these better than we do.
Where you have been
Not everywhere you have been. Everywhere you cared enough to carry something home from. The number always comes out smaller than people guess, which is half the fun of watching it climb.
What it is worth
Add what you paid below and this fills in. It is your own figure, so it is the one number here we can stand behind today.
Market value is not here yet
And no made-up one either, which is the easy option and the wrong one. Real prices are coming, built from what collectors actually paid rather than what hopeful sellers are asking.
Each one will show its working: how many sales it came from, over what period. Too few sales to be sure and it will say so instead of guessing.
What you paid
The story behind each one
Who you were with, and what you remember
Somebody picks up a mug, turns it over, and asks where that one is from. This is the screen that means you can actually answer. The heat, the walk, who moaned, who paid. Write it while you still have it — everything lands below, ready for the next time somebody asks.
Why it is worth the minute
What you write here is not just sat in an app. The month, the who and the memory are the three things a shelf cannot hold — and they are what turns a collection into something you can actually hand to somebody.
A printed book of your collection. A map of every trip. Both of those are built from exactly this, and neither can be made up afterwards. That is why the date and the who have their own boxes.
None of it exists yet and I am not taking money for any of it. But the ones you write down today are the ones that will be in it. The ones you do not are gone.
Your account
Open your collection on any phone
Right now your collection lives in this browser only. Add an email and a password and it follows you — same ticks, same notes, same want list, on any phone or laptop you log into. Nothing is shared with anyone.
By creating an account you agree to the privacy policy and terms. Your email is used to sign you in and to contact you about your account — nothing else, and no marketing unless you ask for it. You must be 13 or over.
Type the email your account uses. We will send a link to set a new password — it only works once, and only for an hour.

No account? Back it up instead
Without an account everything is saved in this browser and nowhere else. Clear your history or change phone and it is gone. Back it up and it never can be — the same file loads straight back in.
Why we keep you signed in
So the app works where you need it — stood in a shop, holding a mug, deciding. Being asked for a password at the till defeats the entire point of it.
Staying signed in stores a token in your browser. That is the only thing we keep on your device, it is not used to follow you anywhere else, and Log out above clears it whenever you want.
Delete my account and everything in it
Your collection, your notes, your want list, your email address. All of it, gone, and not recoverable.
Email hello@collectmytrip.com from the address you signed up with, asking us to delete your account. It is done within 30 days and usually within a few. You get a note back confirming it, and you do not have to give a reason.
A one-tap button is being built. Until it exists the email route is the real one, and it works.
Want a copy first? Ask in the same email, or use Back up my collection above — that file is yours and it is complete.

What we hold, and what we do with it
Last updated 15 August 2026. If this ever changes in a way that matters, the date changes and anyone with an account is told.
CollectMyTrip is run by one person, in the UK. There is no advertising on this site, nothing is sold to data brokers, and there is no tracking of you across other websites. What follows is the detail behind that.
Who is responsible for your data
CollectMyTrip is a trading name of Simon Dennis, a sole trader based in the United Kingdom. He is the data controller and is legally responsible for the information described here.
Contact for anything on this page, including deletion requests: hello@collectmytrip.com.
If you do not make an account
Your collection lives in your own browser, on your own device. It is never sent to us and we cannot see it. Clearing your browser data deletes it, and we cannot get it back for you — which is why there is a backup button.
If you do make an account
Your collection is stored on a database in London so it can follow you between devices. That means we hold it, and in principle it can be read by the person who runs the site. We do not browse it, we do not sell it, and we do not share it with anyone.
What is stored:
- Your email address, and a password we never see in readable form
- Which mugs you have marked as collected, spare or wanted
- Any notes, dates and names you choose to write against them
- The date you joined and the date you last synced
We do not ask for your real name, your address, your date of birth, or your phone number. There is no payment on this site, so we hold no card details of any kind.
Why we are allowed to hold it
| What | Why | Lawful basis |
|---|---|---|
| Email and password | To sign you in and keep your collection attached to you | Performance of a contract |
| Your collection and notes | It is the entire service you asked for | Performance of a contract |
| Marketing emails | To tell you what is coming | Consent — and only if you ticked the box |
| Visit counts | To know whether anyone is using it | Legitimate interests |
Staying signed in
If you log in, a token is stored in your browser so you are not asked for a password every time. That is not for tracking — it is so the app works stood in a shop, holding a mug, where being asked to type a password would defeat the point of it.
Log out in the app clears it. No cookie banner appears on this site because nothing here is used for advertising or cross-site tracking.
Companies that handle data on our behalf
| Who | What for | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Supabase | Accounts and collections database | London, UK |
| Netlify | Serving the website | USA and global |
| Formspree | Messages you send through forms | USA |
| GoatCounter | Counting visits, no cookies | EU |
Netlify and Formspree are based in the United States, so some data reaches there. Both operate under recognised safeguards for transfers out of the UK. Nobody else receives your data, and it is never sold.
Analytics, and what we deliberately do not do
Visits are counted with GoatCounter. It records the page, the rough country, and where the visit came from. It uses no cookies, does not build a profile of you, and cannot follow you to other websites.
There is no Google Analytics, no Facebook pixel, no advertising network, and no third-party tracker of any kind on this site.
How long it is kept
Your account and collection are kept for as long as your account exists. Ask us to delete it and it is gone within 30 days, usually within a few days, including from routine backups within a further 30 days.
If you unsubscribe from emails, we keep a record of your address on a suppression list so we do not accidentally email you again. That is the only thing kept afterwards, and you can ask for that to go too.
Your rights, and how to use them
Under UK data protection law you can ask us to:
- Show you everything we hold about you
- Correct anything that is wrong
- Delete your account and everything in it
- Send you a copy in a file you can take elsewhere
- Stop using it in a particular way, or withdraw your consent to emails
Email hello@collectmytrip.com from the address you signed up with. You do not have to give a reason, and it is free. We answer within 30 days.
If you think we have handled your data badly, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk or on 0303 123 1113. We would rather you told us first, but you do not have to.
Deleting your account
Email hello@collectmytrip.com from the address you signed up with and ask. Everything goes — collection, notes, want list, email address — and it cannot be recovered afterwards.
A one-tap button is being built. Until it exists, the email route is the real one and it works. Want a copy of your collection first? Ask in the same email, or use Back up my collection in the app before you write.
Children
This site is not intended for children under 13, and accounts must not be created by them. If you believe a child has made an account, tell us and we will delete it.
If something goes wrong
If data held here were ever exposed, anyone affected would be told directly and promptly, and the Information Commissioner's Office would be notified where the law requires it. You would hear it from us, not find out later.
Terms of use
The rules, and what we do and do not promise
What this is
A free tool for keeping track of souvenir mugs you own, where you have been, and the stories behind them. Nothing is for sale on this site. If that changes, these terms change first and you will be told.
The catalogue will contain mistakes
It is assembled from public collector records, and it is not complete or perfect. A mug being listed here is not proof it exists, and a mug missing from here is not proof it does not.
Entries are marked Verified, Listed, Member added or Disputed so you can see how much weight to put on each one. Found something wrong? Tell us — that is how it gets better.
Prices are guidance, never a valuation
Any price shown is an observation of what similar items have been advertised or sold for. It is not a professional valuation, it is not an offer, and it is not advice. Do not rely on it alone for insurance, probate, tax, or deciding what to pay or accept.
Mug prices move with condition, variant, region and luck. If money matters, get a proper valuation from a qualified valuer.
We are not part of any trade between members
We do not buy, sell, hold, ship, vet, insure, or take a cut of anything. If the site ever introduces two members to each other, what you then agree is entirely between you — including price, postage, condition and what happens if it goes wrong.
Take the same care you would with any stranger online.
Your account
- Keep your password to yourself. Anything done through your account is treated as done by you
- You must be 13 or over
- Do not upload anything that is not yours, or anything unlawful, abusive or misleading
- Do not scrape, bulk-copy or resell the catalogue
- We can suspend an account that is being used to harm other members. We will say why
What you write stays yours
Your stories, your notes and your photographs belong to you. By putting them here you allow us to store and display them back to you so the service works. We do not claim ownership, we will not publish them elsewhere without asking, and deleting your account removes them.
Nobody's brands but their own
CollectMyTrip is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to any retailer, manufacturer or brand. Series and product names are used only to describe collectable items, and all trade marks belong to their owners.
No promises about uptime
This is a free service built by one person in evenings and weekends. It may be unavailable, it may change, and it may contain errors. Back up your collection. The button is there for a reason.
Nothing here limits liability for death, personal injury, or fraud — the law does not allow that and we would not want it to.
Which law applies
These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and disputes are dealt with by the courts of England and Wales. If you are a consumer, this does not take away rights you have under the law of the country you live in.
