Check out these cool personalised candles made by Wax and Wane. It’s fair to say their not really my cup of tea but I can appreciate the high quality of the bespoke craftsmanship and their suitability for special occasions.

Wax and Wane say:
“Our small professional team pride themselves in the candles they create and have exceptionally high standards of quality. All of our candles are hand poured by candle maker Martin then finished and decorated by Anne-Marie.”
Looking for a totally original, yet affordable gift that will be enjoyed by the recipient again and again?

Blends for Friends say they might have the solution.
“As a master tea taster who takes pleasure in creating new things, I can personally hand blend a truly individual gift of the finest teas from around the world for you, your friends or relatives for any occasion. With your help in providing me with personality details, I can use my tea tasting and blending knowledge to create a highly personalised gift for which the recipient will truly appreciate the effort you have gone to.”
We at Iconic Gifts think that this gift idea is perfect for friends and relatives with a taste for quality tea. At the very least it shows a little more forethought than the ubiquitous teapot and strainer set!
Romantic gestures usually involve chocolates and flowers - nice but unimaginative.
If you want to try something different you could go for Lilly O’Briens chocolates who personalise that special gift with a picture of your choice.

Upload a photograph and they will customise your gift accordingly for a very reasonable €17.85 (£12) each.
Ever thought of personalised dressing gowns as a gift? Instead of giving someone bland cushions, towels or dressing gowns why not go for something personalised in embroidery. Big Stitch, an innovative startup based in the UK offer:
“A unique service creating embroidered designs of your child’s drawings and handwriting, or even your own designs, into fantastic one off unique gifts. Hand and footprints (or animal paw prints!) have proved popular and can be named and dated to provide lasting memories.”
