Personalised Gifts – Designed for You (by Spotted Lizard Prints)
Choosing a personalised gift should feel exciting—not overwhelming. But with so many shops, styles, and options scattered across the internet, it’s easy to get lost. That’s where we come in. Spotted Lizard Prints, based in Stafford, UK, was built on a simple promise: create beautiful, hand-printed personalised gifts that make people smile, arrive on time, and last long after the moment has passed. From the first click to the final unboxing, we’re here to make gift-giving smooth, reliable, and genuinely delightful.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through what sets personalised gifts apart, how we craft them to your exact brief, and why our customers trust us with life’s big (and little) celebrations. We’ll also share delivery options, care tips, and creative ideas to help you pick something perfect—whether you’re shopping for a wedding, a new baby, a milestone birthday, Christmas, or “just because”.
Why Personalised Gifts Feel So Special
Personalised gifts take ordinary moments and make them deeply memorable. Add a name, date, or message, and you transform a product into a keepsake—one that marks a chapter, honours a story, and becomes a reminder of how much you care.
- They show thoughtfulness. Anyone can buy a mug. Not everyone adds the nickname that only the two of you use.
- They age well. Long after flowers fade and chocolate boxes empty, a personalised gift stays—on a tree at Christmas, on a shelf, on a sofa, in a suitcase.
- They suit every occasion. From engagements and new homes to teacher thank-yous, graduation, Father’s Day, or a friend who needs a pick-me-up—there’s always a way to add a name, date, or line that lands just right.
- They feel one-of-a-kind. In a world of mass-production, personalisation is a gentle rebellion. It says, “this was made for you”.
Smooth & Reliable Buying (The Spotted Lizard Experience)
We’ve designed the whole experience to be as easy—and worry-free—as possible.
- Fast dispatch: The majority of our personalised gifts are dispatched the same day (order-time and customisation dependent).
- Tracked delivery: Every parcel leaves Stafford with a tracking number, so you can follow it from our workshop to your door.
- Delivery options: 48-hour tracked is standard; 24-hour and Next Day Guaranteed (before 1pm) are available at checkout for time-sensitive surprises.
- Made to order: Each item is hand printed just for you, carefully checked before dispatch, and packed to arrive safely and beautifully.
Result: you get that “made for me” magic—without any of the usual hassle.

What We Make (And How We Personalise It)
Our range is wide by design—because every story is different. A few favourites our customers love:
Custom Mugs
The everyday classic with a personal twist. Add names, in-jokes, dates, or a short message. We print with professional-grade techniques for rich colour and crisp detail that stands up to daily use.
Photo Slates
Turn a memory into a display piece with natural stone slates printed edge-to-edge. Ideal for weddings, anniversaries, family portraits, or commemorations.
T-Shirts
Soft, comfortable garments with clean, vibrant prints—perfect for birthdays, hen/stag weekends, team events, or matching family sets.
Santa Sacks & Christmas Keepsakes
From linen Santa sacks to ceramic baubles, we hand print festive treasures that come out year after year. Add names, years, or a short note. Reusable, memorable, and beautifully photographed under the tree.
Passport Covers & Travel Accessories
Make trips feel special with personalised passport covers, tags, and travel accessories—great for honeymoons, gap years, and family holidays.
How we customise:
- Choose your product.
- Enter your personalisation (name, date, message, or image upload).
- We lay out your design for clarity and balance, then hand print to order.
- Every item is quality-checked before it leaves the door.

How We Make It (Behind the Scenes)
- You order – Choose your product and add personalisation details.
- We prepare – Our team builds your layout, checking letter case, spacing, and placement.
- We print – Each item is hand printed using professional processes chosen for your product’s material and finish.
- We check – Every order is individually inspected for clarity, alignment, and colour.
- We dispatch – Securely packed with recyclable or reusable materials and shipped with tracking.
That’s the difference between a print and a gift: craft, care, and confidence at each step.
Tips to Make Personalisation Look Its Best
- Keep it concise. Shorter names and phrases print larger and cleaner (especially on smaller items like baubles or passport covers).
- Mind the case. Decide on Title Case, ALL CAPS, or lowercase and stick to it—consistency looks polished.
- Double-check spelling. We print exactly what you type to preserve accuracy.
- Think about contrast. If you’re choosing colours, high contrast improves readability (e.g., dark text on light backgrounds).
- Dates that matter. Wedding dates, birth dates, house-move years—those tiny numbers make big memories.
Care & Longevity (Help Your Gift Go the Distance)
- Textiles (T-shirts, sacks, cushions): Wash inside-out on a gentle cycle, line dry, and avoid ironing directly on prints.
- Ceramics & Enamel: Hand washing helps prints stay vibrant longer.
- Photo Slates / Hard Surfaces: Dust with a soft cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners.
- General: Keep extended direct sunlight exposure to a minimum to preserve colour.
Follow these simple guidelines and your gift will look great for years.
Sustainability & Responsibility
We believe beautiful gifts shouldn’t come at the planet’s expense.
- Print-to-order minimises overproduction and waste.
- Recycling in-house for paper, packaging, and offcuts where possible.
- Recyclable or reusable packaging choices wherever we can.
- Responsible sourcing aligned with suppliers who share our eco-friendly values.
By choosing Spotted Lizard Prints, you’re supporting a UK small business and a more sustainable way to give.
