It all started with a bag of children's sweets.
Not wanting to send everyday sweets into school for a birthday, Donna set off on a journey to create custom personalised stickers to go with homemade treats for school events. One thing led to another. Friends asked for more. Word spread. What began as a small creative solution to an everyday gifting problem quickly became something much bigger.
Fast forward to today, and Make It Personal is a Lancashire-based artisan business creating wonderful, unique, eye-catching gifts for all seasons, occasions and events. Every tumbler is handcrafted to order in Littleborough, with names, dates, photos and designs chosen by the person placing the order. The custom toppers, each one designed and built from scratch, have become the signature feature of everything we make.
The catalogue is ever growing. From birthdays and anniversaries to weddings, teachers, fandoms, sports and beyond, we can personalise and create custom designs just for you. Whether you have a clear brief or just a rough idea, we'll work with you until it's exactly right.
In 2026, that dedication to craft and personalisation was recognised at the SME News British Made Awards, where Make It Personal won both Best Personalised Gifts and Homeware Retailer and Best Custom Tumbler and Gift Collection. For a small handmade business, that recognition means everything.
However you want to make it, Make It Personal.
