I couldn't have asked for a better gift for my best friend's 18th. The personalised photo memory box was such a hit! Each detail was crafted perfectly, and adding our favourite photos made it incredibly special. It now holds a special place in her room. A huge thank you to the team at Make Memento for such a beautiful gift and great service!

Absolutely thrilled with the leather photo keyring I purchased for my nephew’s 18th birthday! The quality of the leather was perfect, and the photo we chose looked stunning. It’s a small gift, but the personal touch made it really special. He loved it and mentioned how it's a great reminder of his family as he heads off to university.
Carole
I ordered the engraved cufflinks for my son's 18th, and wow, they exceeded my expectations! The engraving added such a personal touch that made my son feel extra special on his big day. The quality is exceptional, and they even came in a beautiful presentation box. I’m so pleased with my purchase and the look on his face was priceless. Thanks!
