Meet Derek & Paula
We're Derek and Paula — and Pbwcreations is truly a two-person operation. Paula handles all the design work, photo editing, and brings a meticulous eye for detail that makes every order look stunning. Derek converts images into crisp laser-ready files and brings every engraving to life on wood, slate, and more.
Between us, we cover every single step — from your order coming in to it landing on your doorstep. No factories, no outsourcing. Just the two of us, putting real care into every gift we make.
Our Stockport Workshop
We're based in Stockport and everything is made right here in our own workshop. We use professional-grade laser engraving and printing equipment, which means we have complete control over quality at every stage. When your order arrives, it's exactly as it should be — because we made it ourselves.
Materials & Quality
We're selective about what we work with. Every material is chosen for how it looks, how it feels, and how well it holds a personalised finish. We don't cut corners to protect our margins — we'd rather charge a fair price and deliver something you're genuinely proud to give.
- Premium substrates chosen for engraving and print quality
- Every item inspected before packaging
- Finished to a standard we'd be happy to receive ourselves
Honest Pricing — Always
The price you see is the price you pay. No hidden fees for personalisation, no surprise charges at checkout. Engraving and printing are part of what we do — they're included, not an add-on. We think that's just the right way to do business.
A Gift Worth Giving
Whether it's a heartfelt birthday keepsake, a wedding gift, or a polished corporate piece — we put the same care into every order. A personalised gift carries real meaning, and we take that seriously.
Thank you for supporting a small, independent workshop. It genuinely means the world to us.
