Orders & Personalisation

How do I place a personalised order?

Placing an order is simple. Choose a product from our store, add your personalisation details such as a name, message or photo, and complete checkout. Your order will then be carefully prepared in our Peterborough workspace before being shipped to you.

What types of personalisation do you offer?

Lilpins Essentials offers several types of personalisation including names, messages, photos and custom designs. Many products allow you to upload your own image or add text to create a meaningful gift.

Can I request a custom design?

Yes. If you have a specific idea or design in mind, feel free to contact us before placing your order. We will always try to help bring your idea to life.

Can I see a preview of my personalised design?

Yes. For many personalised items we can provide a preview or confirm your design before production if requested. If you would like to see how your personalisation will look, simply contact us after placing your order and we will be happy to assist. Our goal is to make sure your personalised gift looks exactly how you imagined.

What happens if I make a mistake in my personalisation?

If you notice a mistake in your personalisation details after placing your order, contact us as soon as possible. If your item has not yet been prepared, we will update the details for you.

Because personalised items are made to order, we always recommend checking spelling and details carefully before completing your order.

Are personalised gifts good for special occasions?

Personalised gifts are perfect for many occasions including birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, baby celebrations and seasonal holidays. Adding a name, message or photo turns a simple item into something meaningful and memorable.

Lilpins Essentials offers personalised mugs, tumblers, photo gifts and custom designs created to make every occasion feel more special.

Can I personalise my own item instead of buying a product from the shop?

Yes. Lilpins Essentials offers a Custom Drop-In Service that allows you to personalise an item you have already purchased.

Simply buy the gift you want from any retailer and send it to our Peterborough studio. Once it arrives, we customise it with your chosen name, message or design to turn it into a meaningful personalised gift.

This service works well for items such as clothing, bottles, tumbers, bags, keepsakes and special occasion gifts.

You can learn more about this service on our Custom Drop-In Personalisation page. If you are unsure whether an item can be personalised, contact us before sending it.

Can I request a faster turnaround?

If you need your order urgently, please contact us before placing your order and we will try to help where possible.

Delivery

Do you ship across the United Kingdom?

Yes. Lilpins Essentials serves customers across the UK. Orders are securely packaged and shipped so they arrive safely and ready to gift.

How long does delivery take?

Delivery times depend on the shipping option selected at checkout. Standard UK delivery usually takes a few working days after your item has been personalised.

How will my order be packaged?

All items are carefully packaged to protect them during shipping. Many customers order our products as gifts, so we aim to ensure items arrive looking presentable and ready to give.

Returns & Issues

Can personalised items be returned?

Because personalised items are made specifically for each customer, they usually cannot be returned unless there is a fault or error with the order. If there is an issue with your item, please contact us and we will work with you to resolve it.

What should I do if there is a problem with my order?

If your order arrives damaged or incorrect, please contact us as soon as possible with photos of the issue so we can help resolve it quickly.
