Gifts for New Parents

Fabulous wooden chopping board made to size. Really pleased with the result. I highly recommend this business.

I ordered a massive live edge chopping board from Make Me Something Special which arrived today. My husband had been looking at different boards for quite some time and never quite found exactly what he wanted until we found MMSS. I phoned to discuss my requirements with Ben and he was very knowledgeable and helpful when ordering. The board is absolutely stunning, it adds that finishing touch to our new kitchen. I wouldn’t hesitate to use this company again. Thankyou so much!

Ben & Harry, Thank you so much for my Phone Holder, it is just perfect. Best Wishes, Wendy

I have been looking for a large carving board with channels and a well to catch the meat juices for ages and came across MMSS. I spoke to Ben by phone a week before Christmas and we agreed the design. I assumed delivery would be after Christmas but no Ben assured me I would be carving the turkey on it this year. True to his word the board arrived on Christmas Eve. Ben also suggested an upgrade to dark walnut which I'm really pleased with. The board is exactly as I wanted it and looks stunning the finish is superb. I thought it may look slightly worse for wear after battling with the Turkey but once washed which was easy and re-oiled the board looks as good as the day it arrived. So thank you for great service and a fantastic product.

Highly recommend! Made me a personalised plaque exactly how I wanted, even sent me a computerised image to check it was correct before they made it. Michelle was very easy to deal with. And kept me updated with the order status.

I am so delighted with my engraved oak bench - the whole process was smooth and efficient, with impressive personal attention to detail in discussing particular aspects of the engraved motifs. The bench has been admired by many visitors and will hopefully continue to look handsome for many years to come!

What can I say but “wow, wow”, I am genuinely impressed and delighted with my order. Ben was so helpful and understanding throughout the whole process, nothing seemed too much trouble. I ordered a playing card box with personalised engraving on it. It looks superb. Can’t recommend this company enough, only wished I could upload a photo for you to see.

This is the second time we have bought a bespoke oak toy box for our grand children.As before the service and attention to detail has been top notch.Ben has been his usual accomodating self.The boxes have been superbly made and the delivery made in very substantial packing.The products and the service come highly recommended by me and I would highly recommend Make Me Someting Special.

I was well pleased with the product and with the excellent service.Nothing was too much trouble for Ben and his team. I have no hesitation in recommending this company.

I ordered a wooden plaque from central France; discussed the details; changed the wording. Nothing fazed the firm. The order was dealt with efficiently and swiftly. I have nothing but praise for the way my order was dealt with.

I presented Ben with a very specific and difficult project. A wooden chair that I knew was difficult to build. Ben accepted the job, and I can confirm the results are amazing. The caliber that the chair has been completed at is at a level which reflects Bens talents. I’m truly impressed and would recommend Make me something special.

Delighted with the matchbox, which is beautiffuly made and will be an unusual gift. Communication is good, a problem experienced was dealt with quickly and professionally. I would recommend this company without hesitation.

Where do I start... this company is absolutely incredible to deal with, from my initial questions about this item, through to the box I have just opened, containing the most beautiful chopping board I have ever seen! The quality of the wood is beautiful! I cant praise, thank, or recommend you enough...Well done, its been a pleasure to do business with you!Many thanks Pauline

Really helpful staff and very easy ordering process. We wanted a bespoke board for a wedding cake which could double up as a cheese board later at the wedding party. The result was also a beautiful personalised keepsake, we were all thrilled with it.

The team did a brilliant job of helping me to create a very special gift for my parents' 50th wedding anniversary, and they went out of their way to help me arrange the delivery on the specific day. My parents love it! The bench is incredibly well made - very solid - and being able to add the special message made it extra special. Can't recommend this company highly enough - will definitely be ordering from them again.

I ordered a wooden bench as a wedding gift, inscribed in three different places with personal messages. It needed to be shipped abroad by a specific date.The quality of the bench was fantastic: very well presented and oiled. Throughout the process I was updated with photos and the shipping date was met. Highly recommended.

I am absolutely thrilled with the beautiful house sign that Ben and his colleagues have made for me. It is superb quality workmanship using a beautiful piece of oak. It couldn’t be more perfect.

The most beautiful board I have ever worked on. The craftsmanship of the block is astounding...it is so well made! The wood retains the sharpness of my knives like nothing else. It looks beautiful in the kitchen and is such a statement piece. As a professional chef with over 35 years in the business...I couldn't recommend this board more.
