## How did we choose these gifts?

We hand-picked every gift in this guide from the range we stock. Each one was chosen for who it suits and what it does, whether that is a candle to light, a light for a garden, or a keepsake for a shelf.

We also kept a mix of kinds and budgets, so you can find something for a parent, a grandparent, a friend, a pet owner, or a bereaved family, and for a garden, a shelf or a graveside.

## What personalised memorial candles can I choose to remember someone?

You can choose from three personalised memorial candles: an LED candle, a vanilla amber glass candle and a vanilla Forget Me Not jar candle. Each one carries your own words in lines, so the message feels personal to them.

### [Personalised Life & Love Memorial LED Candle](/products/personalised-life-love-memorial-smoked-led-candle) (£16.95)

A gift that lasts long after the day, this LED candle has smoked frosted glass and a lifelike amber flame effect. It takes 2 AA batteries and is a compact 7.5 x 12 x 7.5 cm, so it suits a shelf or windowsill. Its fixed Life & Love wording sits with three lines of your own words, shown just as you type them. Use plain letters and numbers, as we can't print accents or most symbols.

### [In Loving Memory Vanilla Amber Glass Candle](/products/personalised-in-loving-memory-amber-glass-candle) (£9.95)

Useful all year round, this vanilla scented candle sits in an amber glass jar that stands 8 cm tall. The label carries seven lines of your own words, so you can add a name, a date or a few kind words. Check the spelling once more, as your text is printed just as typed. It burns for 30 hours, and once it's finished, the jar can be reused as a tealight holder.

*Best for: A keepsake for the family table.*

### [Personalised Memorial Forget Me Not Candle](/products/personalised-memorial-forget-me-not-candle-jar) (£9.95)

Our pick for remembering a friend, this vanilla jar candle has a Forget Me Not design and six lines of your own words. Use plain letters and numbers, as we can't print accents or most symbols.

## Which personalised memorial lights can glow at home or outside?

Three personalised memorial lights glow at home or outside. An angel wings light changes colour indoors, while a bear sign and a butterfly sign run on sunshine and fix to the ground or a wall. Each one carries a personalised message, so the words are yours to choose.

### [Personalised Angel Wings Memorial LED Light](/products/personalised-angel-wings-memorial-colour-changing-led-light) (£26.95)

Something a little different for a loved one's memorial, this angel wings light changes colour when you touch its base. You can set it to change constantly or hold one colour. The fixed quote, 'Your wings were ready but our hearts were not', sits above your personalised message on three lines. It's for indoor use only, and runs on 3 AA batteries (not included) or the USB cable provided.

*Best for: Indoor memorials for family and friends.*

### [Personalised Outdoor Solar Bear Memorial Light](/products/personalised-bear-memorial-outdoor-solar-light) (£29.95)

Many light modes let you pick the glow you like.

## Which personalised memorial keepsakes work well on a shelf at home?

Four personalised memorial keepsakes suit a shelf at home: a botanical resin vase, a butterfly ornament, a crystal token and a cat pawprints heart. Each is personalised for them, so it sits quietly and speaks of the one you miss.

### [Personalised Memorial Vase, Botanical Resin](/products/personalised-botanical-memorial-vase) (£29.95)

A keepsake they'll hold on to. This botanical resin vase has ten lines of text on the front, so you can choose the words that fit the person you miss. The first two lines are set in larger script, so the opening words stand out. Resin is natural, so small imperfections may show, and it isn't watertight, so think of it as a display piece.

*Best for: Families wanting a quiet keepsake.*

### [Personalised Memorial Butterfly Ornament](/products/personalised-butterflies-appear-memorial-butterfly) (£24.95)

Thoughtful without being fussy. This personalised memorial butterfly ornament is made from natural resin and measures 22 x 17 x 8 cm, so it stands out on a shelf at home. You add two name lines and a date line. The wording 'In Loving Memory of' and 'Butterflies appear when angels are near' is already set, and the name lines print in upper case. A gentle way to remember someone, with a design that's easy to keep on show.

*Best for: Anyone wanting a gentle reminder.*

### [Crystal Token, Personalised Carried for a Moment](/products/personalised-carried-for-a-moment-crystal-token) (£16.95)

Nice to unwrap, nicer to use. This crystal token measures 7.5 x 7.5 x 1.8 cm and works as an ornament or a paperweight. You add two lines, with line one required, and all text prints in capitals. Check the spelling first, as it's made just for them. The fixed line 'Carried for a moment, loved for a lifetime' is already set, and it comes in a black gift box.

*Best for: Friends and family remembering a loved one.*

### [Personalised Resin Cat Memorial, Pawprints Heart](/products/personalised-cat-pawprints-heart-memorial) (£24.95)

If they love cats, this is the one. This personalised cat pawprints heart is made of resin and measures 14 x 14 x 7 cm. You add a name and a date, and fixed wording about pawprints on our hearts is already set. Please avoid all capitals, as the font can be hard to read, and use plain letters and numbers. It's a tender way to remember a much-loved pet.

*Best for: Cat lovers remembering a pet.*

## Which personalised memorials can go outdoors or at a graveside?

The angel heart memorial and angel memorial book are made for a graveside, while the memorial cloud is suitable for indoor and outdoor use. All three are resin keepsakes with personalised lines, so each can carry personalised words for a loved one.

### [Personalised Memorial Angel Heart, Resin](/products/personalised-angel-heart-memorial) (£24.95)

Made to be noticed, this resin angel heart memorial is designed for a graveside. It measures 14 x 14 x 7 cm. You can add six lines of personalised text, with the first line in larger lettering.

*Best for: Graveside remembrance.*

### [Personalised Resin Memorial Book, Angel](/products/personalised-angel-memorial-book) (£26.95)

A calm, quiet keepsake for a graveside. This resin angel memorial book measures 18.5 x 9 x 13.5 cm and has an angel design. You can add eleven lines of personalised text, with lines one to three on the left and the rest on the right. Line one is required. The words 'Heaven has gained an angel' are fixed and can't be changed. Please use plain letters and numbers, as accents and most symbols can't be printed.

### [Personalised Memorial Cloud, Animal Resin](/products/personalised-animal-resin-memorial-cloud) (£26.95)

## Which personalised memorial urns are made for a baby or child?

Three personalised small wooden urns are made for a baby boy, a baby girl or a child. Each holds a token amount of ashes and carries four lines of your own words, so the little one you are remembering has a message that is truly theirs.

### [Baby Boy Wooden Memorial Urn, Personalised](/products/personalised-baby-boy-small-wooden-urn) (£19.95)

Hand-picked for someone remembering a loved one, this small wooden urn has a blue footprint design and is made for a baby boy. It holds a token amount of ashes, about 465 ml, and is handmade, so it may show slight imperfections. It is not fully sealed, so we recommend a sealed plastic bag for the ashes. Add four lines of your own words, while the fixed line 'Your tiny feet left footprints on our hearts' is already there.

*Best for: Families remembering a baby boy.*

### [Baby Girl Wooden Memorial Urn, Personalised](/products/personalised-baby-girl-small-wooden-urn) (£19.95)

## How does personalising work?

1. **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.
2. **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.
3. **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](/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 £3.19, and delivery is free over £40.
