To "make it up to someone" means to do something nice for them after you've messed up, like buying them a drink after you forgot their birthday or bailing them out of jail after a wild night. It's all about trying to smooth things over when you've been a total jerk.

Get the Make it up to mug.A phrase said when someone makes you feel like horse manure and then acts like they are going to rectify their carelessness by doing something that would actually constitute a change in their behavior, when really it's just bullshit words that allow them to be forgiven until they repeat said horse manure behavior.
