Tell me how I go about personalising an item/gift?
With our simple step by step process it is now easier and more fun than ever before to create the perfect personalised item or gift. Our personalisation software “Configuration Tool” allows you to choose from our extensive library, of professionally designed Artwork, which embraces some fresh and exciting new designs as well as some of the older favourites that always prove popular. There are many items within the site that offer Photo uploads for either a complete photograph or face area to be placed within a funny template or caricature.
If I am sending the item as a gift do I need to wrap it?
Your personalised gift will arrive beautifully presented inside a well constructed and very durable white cardboard box. Each box will be sealed using our eye catching and decorative parcel tape and finished with a bow, saving you both time and money, as well as removing the need for you to wrap it yourself. This level of presentation and attention to detail also enables you to have the item delivered directly to your chosen recipient and if this option is chosen, you will be asked to complete a complementary, personalised gift tag during the check out procedure, which will then be enclosed within the box prior to despatch.
Presentation Gift boxes:

If not, we recommend you open it in the standard picture viewing software on your Computer (PC users choose ‘Windows Photo Viewer’, Mac users choose ‘Preview’) and Save it again in the correct format, which should then be correct to use.
