How does personalising work?
- Type your words on the gift's page: a name, a date or a short message. Each box shows its character limit as you type, and a tag above the boxes shows your exact words before you add the gift to your basket.
- A UK maker personalises it to order, printing or engraving exactly what you typed. Please check spelling, capitals and dates: we print the words as they are.
- It's sent by tracked delivery, to you or straight to them.
We can't print accents, emoji or most symbols, so the boxes accept letters, numbers and simple punctuation. If a personalised gift arrives damaged, faulty or not as you typed it, we remake it or refund it in full (returns).
How does delivery work?
Every gift travels by tracked UK delivery, to your door or straight to theirs. Personalised gifts are made to order and travel as their own parcel, for £7.95, and over £60 of gifts we pay the first £6 of delivery. Each product page shows how long its gift takes to make and when to expect it, before you pay. See delivery for the details.
