The personalised birthday presents here at MakeMeSomethingSpecial are unlike any other birthday gifts you'll find elsewhere on the market. All of these gifts are hand-crafted from only the finest Furniture Grade American Hardwoods in the world. In fact, the timbers used to make these personalised birthday presents are sourced from sustainable managed Amish saw mills found in the Northern Appalachia Region of New England.

And not forgetting birthday presents for children and newborns. We have personalised wooden toy boxes, as made for Prince George (yes, really) and engraved free standing oak letters are sure to impress. For those who love gadgets, we have beautiful personalised wooden desk organisers and wireless phone chargers. Stunning wooden egg trays for those who keep their own chickens, or personalised wooden tea light holders for those who love candles. For preserving a moment in time, we have our personalised wooden photo frames, hand-crafted from oak before being repeatedly hand-sanded and finished in high quality oils.

There really is no better choice if you're looking for a truly unique birthday gift that can be treasured for a lifetime. Personalise your gift with a name, a date, a favourite quote or a special message.

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!

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.
Tina O.
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!
Catherine B.
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.

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.

Pauline H.
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
Alan B.
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.
Suddens
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.
Howard R
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.
Diana S.
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.
Gilly K.
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.
