English term or phrase: mug
I'm gonna be the world's greatest dad. Get the mug and everything...

Someone will be dad soon. But I didn't get the sense of mug here! Sorry, but no more context.

Thanks in advance,

الكوب المطبوع
Explanation:
"Get the mug" refers to the those printed mugs given away or sold as merchandise
In this case the mug will have "the world's greatest dad" printed on it

https://www.google.com/search?q=the world's greatest dad mug...

I suggest:
أعني الكوب المطبوع وكل شيء

This is still tricky, the meaning and reaction won't be the same as in English because the culture is different

agree  Fuad Yahya: I believe "Get the mug" here means "I will buy the mug." Considering the cultural distance, I would recommend an expanded translation, like وسأشـتري كوباً كبيراً للقهوة منقوش عليه هذه العبارة.

فخورا


Explanation:
It's always helpful to know the exact context. Otherwise, all these translations are mere suggestions. Anyway, it means that the father is proud of his achievement, and the mug is a symbol of a champion. In other words, he feels proud due to what he has achieved.

Get the mug and everything: سوف أصبح فخورا وكل ما جاور ذلك
