Made with Love:

Why Personalised Gifts Matter Most

I’ve found that my favourite designs for the store are the ones where I’m asked to create something personal for a loved one or friend. These pieces allow me to truly reflect someone’s personality while giving me the freedom to be as creative as I like. I enjoy weaving in details about their environment, their passions, their quirks — even their dreams.

I’m always excited about my next project, especially when it involves creating a one-of-a-kind gift for a special person or meaningful event. A custom gift is more than just a present — it’s a reminder that someone took the time to honour a relationship, a memory, or a milestone with genuine care.

For this particular birthday card, I illustrated a girl playing the piano, surrounded by inspirational quotes — designed to feel like a page from a personal journal. I thought it was a beautiful way to celebrate a wonderful human being.

For this poster, I illustrated the relationship between two friends who now live far apart — capturing the things they used to do together, their special bond, and the connection they deeply miss.

For one of these gifts, I illustrated a friend’s life journey — all the places she’s travelled, and how beautifully her life has evolved over the years.

For this posters, I illustrated the teachers in a visual summary of their year at school — a heartfelt tribute to their journey. To be honest, these pieces became the inspiration behind my entire shop. Seeing the teacher’s emotional reaction after a long, challenging year was the greatest honour. Creating something that touched them so deeply reminded me why these personalised gifts matter so much.

From celebrations to special milestones, custom-made creations are some of the most intimate and meaningful gifts you can give.
