Personalised House Warming Presents
What could be nicer and more appreciated than a beautiful, good quality house warming present.
For the garden or the home, we have some truly stunning personalised wooden gifts that will work wonders in warming up a new house or apartment. A thick and durable personalised chopping board for the new kitchen or perhaps a floating shelf for the cookery books. Oak iPad stands and mobile phone holders make excellent house warming gifts as they are as useful as they are decorative.
An engraved tea light holder is a perfect addition to a new lounge, as is a lamp table in the style of a handmade butlers tray. And if you're thinking luxury, our engraved wooden bath racks are a must-have bathroom accessory. You can't go wrong with one of our magnetic engraved oak key racks to be set up by the front door for the new home keys. All of the personalised house warming gifts you see here can be engraved with your own words or lettering, ideal for the new house name, recipients names, postcodes, moving in dates, or simply a personal message or favourite quote.
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.
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.

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.
Excellent customer service , team went above and beyond for my order of a bath caddy to fit a very awkward bath. They lived up to their name and made me something special. Thank you so much.
I can not thank you enough for the beautiful oak memorial for my sons grave. Excellent workmanship. Great CSD and delivery package carefully secured 👌. Thank you
I asked for a special and unusual sign in a non standard size and they produced it exactly as I imagined it.Delivered on time in a well protected package.Wonderful service.I highly recommend this company!Ray Bungay
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.
What a team. They kept in contact regarding our order for the bespoke wine rack. Were very helpfull informing us how wording would look We received the wine rack and it is amazing. The craftsmanship is superb. We can’t wait to show it off at our celebrations. Thank you to all the team and will not hesitate to use again.
A wonderful company with a personal touch. They were quick to respond and very helpful. We are so pleased with the plaque. It is such good quality and very well done. Not always easy to find these days! Thank you.
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.
I have ordered 2 items from Make me Something Special and both are really excellent quality, beautiful items (jar and toast rack). We have used another company for similar things but these items are superior. We will be back!
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 have ordered severals pieces from Make Me Something Special, and have always received great customer service and great products. I recently ordered a carving board for my husbands birthday and it is fantastic. I had a change of mind re the wording after ordering but it wasn’t a problem......so pleased!
Ordered the letter rack, fabulous product, the quality is so nice and communication was great as I needed the products urgently and they delivered that. Cannot highly recommend enough.Thank you so much
Fantastic memorial bench for our late Mother. Superb quality and the wood engraving is so much better than a brass plaque that quickly tarnishes. Thank you!
Had the most beautiful bench delivered in memory of our husband and dad.. the carving was superb .. it has been proudly placed in our garden and looks amazing.. defo recommend this company .. excellent service too on emails .. very professional.. thank you guys
Ben made a beautiful double oak swing with extra carving for a house gift, in double quick time. A First class product with first class service. Thanks so much!
I ordered a personalised chopping board for a wedding present including the names of the bride and groom, the wedding date and who the present was from on the base. It is the most fabulous and special present and has been beautifully made.
Beautiful quality product. Excellent service and advice. Gift was received with great pleasure at such a unique hand crafted piece of work by my French friends.
1.5l jar proved to be absolutely lovely product that holds the recipient’s special biscuits 🍪 n great style. I am thrilled with the purchase - it simply oozes quality and the order was despatched very speedily. I will be a repeat customer!
Fantastic customer service and beautiful products. We ordered a personalised wooden chopping board and are thrilled with it. Highly recommend, will order from this company again and recommend to my friends. I know that the recipient will love that present and cherish it for a long time. Thank you 😊
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.

Fantastic company and a pleasure to buy from!From the moment i spoke to Ben with an idea for a bespoke watch box i wanted making for my husband, i knew he would deliver what he promised. I and my husband are delighted with the gift. It exceeded my expectations 1000%, the quality and attention to detail are just phenomenal. I will definitely be in touch again soon:)
I was looking for a personalised bookend for my husband’s birthday for our new shelving. It was such an easy process, friendly and quick communication and when our bookend arrived it was better than expected, it really lived up to the name of ‘something special’ and we’ll cherish it forever! Thank you!!
I contacted Make Me Something Special on the 10th January to ask if they could make me a personalised wooden box that needed to be a certain size. A size not currently offered on their website. It was for a special 21st gift. Not only that, but I needed it to be delivered in less than a week. Michelle was brilliant on the phone. She helped me choose the right item, spoke with the warehouse to check they could fulfil the order and had it delivered first thing on the day that I needed it for. I can't not fault their service, it is absolutely second to none. They went above and beyond to help ensure I got the item on time. The box is stunning. A real piece of craftsmanship. The engraving is far better than I expected it to be and I over the moon with the finished result!Would not hesitate to use them again and will be recommending to all my family and friends.Huge thanks to Michelle and the team x
Amazing company! The customer service was outstanding from start to finish! My sign is beautiful and very well made! They went above and beyond to make sure I had it for Christmas as well! Highly recommend using this company and I will definitely be buying from Make Me Something Special again!
Amazing service and the attention to detail of this product is outstanding. I have seen similar/copies on other websites but nothing that compares to this in quality or finish. Separate glass cups safely hold the tea lights in place and it is made from one solid (very heavy) piece of oak.
