After hours of searching websites looking for inspiration, I ordered an oak carving board for my husband's (aka the man who has everything) 70th birthday. My queries were replied to promptly, the order was despatched within 10 days and the finished item is beautiful. The board is solid, beautifully crafted , exactly as per the specification and clearly made with great care. Thank you!

Thank you so much to Make Me Something Special for their painstaking work to make Mum's memorial plaque. The final result was exactly as the proof, right down to the carving of the dog. Communication throughout the process was really good. Wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

I had been looking for a company to make me some bespoke Mahjong oak racks that would fit the specific measurements of my tiles.
I contacted Make Me Something Special with the measurements and they quoted me a price and timescale. The racks were received on time and the quality is excellent and exactly the correct size. I would not hesitate to recommend this company and will certainly use them in future.

Sometimes the name of the company tells you everything you need to know. You definitely do receive something special when you order. I ordered the Christmas Eve Box a few weeks before Christmas with personalised text, the team said they could get it to me before Christmas and were true to their word. Absolutely brilliant service, really friendly people, amazing quality products, far better than anything you get on Etsy etc. I've just ordered a few more items for my Wife's birthday, with a request from me for a change to the size of the one item. I received a reply confirming this wasn't a problem straight away and they're not even charging me for the size change.
If you're looking for a beautiful bespoke piece of woodwork, look no further, you have found the place to buy it from!!

I ordered a personalised Coronation Bench as a memorial bench for my son. I wanted something really special and when it arrived it was absolutely fantastic and just what I wanted - a very special piece. Highly recommend 'Make me Something Special' for that memorable gift.

I recently ordered a wood plaque with an Alfred Lord Tennyson quote on it and it was perfect. Ben took a lot of trouble ensuring the wording and layout were just as I wanted. It is also a lovely quality piece of wood. Thankyou so much.

Absolutely delighted with my purchase of an engraved serving board as a wedding gift! I have used this company a few times in the past and have always been pleased with my purchases. For this particular purchase I had lots of questions which were answered promptly each time. I was kept up to date with the progress and it was delivered within a week. I would highly recommend Make Me Something Special.

I contacted Make Me Something Special to discuss a 50th anniversary present. Once I told them what I was after, they talked me through the process and confirmed they could provide it in the timeframe I had. Once we had the details in place, they provided a mock-up of the piece, I paid and the item was delivered in plenty of time. The 87-year old recipient is delighted with it and she is showing it off to everyone who visits. Given that she is the very heart of our village, this is practically everyone who lives here, and they all love it.

Superb customer service from the initial contact up until today when I received my beautiful oak chopping board that had been bespoke designed and executed. Very quick to respond to all my emails, helpful with suggestions and altogether a really straightforward and easy process. End product is wonderful quality and very special. Couldn’t be more thrilled and absolutely happy to recommend this company!

We normally subscribe to the traditional blue plaque method to celebrate or recognise people and events but in this instance the church authorities responsible for this particular plaque installation inside a church sought something more appropriate to the setting. After finding 'Make Me Something Special' on the Internet, we suggested a solid oak plaque with inset black lettering and this was accepted. We, and the Church Authorities are absolutely delighted with the result - beautifully made and entirely appropriate to the setting, we cannot recommend MMSP highly enough - thank you very much for all your care and attention in producing this beautiful plaque - Mike Thompson for Margate Civic Society.

I ordered a chopping board for my Niece's wedding with their names and date carved on the side - the wood is beautiful and the board is such good quality, I am absolutely thrilled with it and would highly recommend Make Me Something Special. I will certainly be using them again.

The tablet holder is perfect - wood quality and lettering engraving is done to excellence. Highly recommend.
Unfortunately the tablet I received was in black walnut not oak as I ordered - I emailed and Ben wrote back saying he would send a new one as quick as possible within a 2 day turnaround so that it still arrived for husband on the day of his Dads funeral. Superb service.
Thank you so much to the team at make something special. I look forward to making another purchase later in the year.

MMSS is traditional craftwork personified, producing pieces of woodwork as art, items which testify to the high artisanship of its talented team. Justifiably so, this innovative business moves from strength to strength, its ‘bespoke’ aspect crafting the most exquisite products yet from humble design. That one also enjoys overall value for money is its own true bonus, dovetailing perfectly with the positive buying experience.

This company is an example to all others, they provide wonderful products, value for money considering the workmanship and their customer service is simply the best.
I have contacted them on several occasions with requests that I've left far to late and they have always been able to help.
I wish you well for the future.

I bought two personalised Wooden Boxes with lock from MMSS and am very, very happy. One box was even customised with special dimensions.
Ben is very friendly and keen to fulfil the customer's wishes.
Only solid wood is used.
I was also delighted to see that all the fittings and even the screws are made of solid brass. The lock also comes from a traditional company and is made in England. With other manufacturers, such fittings are hardly ever made of brass, but are galvanised, brass-plated or nickel-plated.

The scent of the oiled wooden products is also wonderful.
Shipping abroad and customs clearance also went well and quickly. I can really recommend Makemesomethingspecial and I am pleased that such high-quality handmade joinery is still available here in Europe at affordable prices. I would like to buy more pieces.

Well! What can I say! ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!! One week ago I ordered this chopping board as a house warming present for my Son and his Fiancé. I have just received it back after the first one was not as I expected. Michelle, quickly and efficiently sorted out a return collection, no fuss, no hassle and here it is today and I absolutely LOVE it! It was quite a bit above my price point but I did want something special for them, and boy oh boy have I got something special. Highly recommend for quality and customer service ❤️ Thank You! I will be posting a video to TikTok tomorrow @susiegeo

I finally got round to ordering the 8 bottle personalised oak wine rack after deliberating over it for some time as it's a pricey item. I wish I hadn't waited for so long... it's fabulous!! I love it! The ordering process was quick and easy, and I didn't have to wait long at all before it was on it's way to me. Unfortunately the rack got slightly damaged in transit but Ben and Michelle were super quick in sorting it all out. Super products, super customer service. Will definitely be ordering again.

We are absolutely delighted with the personalised American Oak chopping board from Make Me Something Special which arrived recently.

It is a beautiful and very functional new addition to our home and is almost like a new piece of furniture and the care details are clear and easy to follow.

I would gladly and highly recommend this British Manufacturer to anyone thinking of bespoke products / gifts for the home or for loved ones
