About Us

Personalised keepsakes to celebrate all of life’s special moments, handcrafted with love in the New Forest, UK. Treasured gifts to hold close to your heart, in your hand.

From the first pair of cufflinks that Emily made on her kitchen table, Christmas 2011, to the keyrings we lovingly wrapped and posted from our workshop this afternoon, Create Gift Love have always made gifts to raise a smile: handcrafted personalised keepsakes to hold close to your heart, in your hand.

Gifts that say a tiny “hello” from your baby to her Daddy on his first Father’s Day. Gifts that say, “I love you as much today as I did when we first met”. Whether it’s a “congratulations, you only went and did it!”, a “thank you for being you,” or a treasured memory of those we’ve loved and lost.

Keyrings, coasters and small accessories, handmade with love from sustainably sourced wood and leather: natural materials to create products with as much character as the team that make them and the people that own them. Unique, individual items made from quality materials here in the UK, with renewable manufacturing processes to save our footprints for sandy beaches.

While you’re out there making memories, we are here in the workshop capturing them in your words and pictures, bottling up moments for you to look back on one day and say, “remember when…?” 

Creating personalised keepsakes since 2012…

It all started with some wooden cufflinks, handmade in Emily and Tony’s kitchen in December 2011. Emily, a working pharmacist, decided to make cufflinks for her family’s Christmas presents, and was delighted when they were loved by everyone who received them. Emily soon had friends asking her to make more and in early 2012 she decided to try selling her wooden gifts online. The orders started rolling in rapidly and Emily’s garden shed became a makeshift workshop. She called on the help of her husband Tony, her family and friends, and soon she was ready to leave the pharmacy behind and focus on her brand new small business full time.
