Meet Dawn

From a Kitchen Table Hobby to a Gift-Making Business

Hi, I’m Dawn! Dawnies Custom Designs started as a creative escape — making personalised mugs and gifts for friends and family from my kitchen table. The smiles, the happy tears, the “this is exactly what I wanted” reactions — that’s what made me realise I could turn my passion into something bigger.

Today, every single product in my shop is still handmade by me with the same love and attention to detail. I believe the best gifts aren’t bought off a shelf — they’re created with someone special in mind.

Whether it’s a name on a mug, a custom hoodie for a birthday, or a personalised keyring as a little “thinking of you” — I put my heart into every single order.

The Journey So Far

How Dawnies Custom Designs Grew

The Spark — It All Started With a Mug

Dawn made a personalised mug for a friend’s birthday. The reaction was so overwhelming that more requests started pouring in from family, friends and then friends of friends.

Growing the Range — From Mugs to So Much More

What began with mugs quickly expanded to hoodies, t-shirts, tumblers, keyrings, slates, storage jars and more. If it could be personalised, Dawn wanted to make it.

Going Online — Dawnies Custom Designs Is Born

Dawn launched the online shop to reach gift-givers across the UK. No more just word-of-mouth — anyone could order a personalised gift, made with the same love and care.

Today — Hundreds of Happy Customers

Birthdays, Christmases, Mother’s Days, weddings, “just because” gifts — Dawn has created personalised products for hundreds of customers, and the smiles keep growing.
