Personalised Memento

What Personalised Memento does

Personalised Memento Company (PMC) is a UK-based B2B trade supplier of personalised gifts, founded in 2004 and headquartered at Fenton Industrial Estate in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire. The company operates an in-house design and manufacturing facility and offers more than 5,000 personalised products spanning over 100 personalisation processes (engraving, printing, and related techniques), covering occasions such as weddings, birthdays, baby showers, christenings, Christmas, and memorials. It also distributes licensed-character ranges (Boofle, Me to You, Rachael Hale, The Snowman and the Snowdog, Tiny Tatty Teddy, Map Products, Country Diary, Hotchpotch, and sports themes) and a bespoke custom-design service for corporate or branded merchandise.

The core go-to-market is sales-led and channel-partner based: PMC sells wholesale to approved e-commerce retailers and bricks-and-mortar shops under trade accounts, with no minimum order quantities and a complete drop-ship fulfilment model that ships made-to-order products directly to end consumers. Larger-volume customers access higher-tier volume pricing, credit accounts, and IT integration solutions (API for orders, CSV product feeds, image FTP) to bulk-list products on their own sites. Pricing for bespoke products follows unit tiering starting at 50+ units, with sample ordering and lead-time filters available to both online and shop-based trade partners.

PMC generates revenue through one-off wholesale orders across core personalised gifts, licensed products, photo-upload products, and bespoke branded merchandise. It is privately held with no disclosed external investment and operates in the UK and Ireland, marketing through its trade website, weekly email newsletters, an active Instagram presence, and product-feed integrations. The firm is GDPR compliant, a member of the Giftware Association, and was shortlisted for the Giftware Association's Gift of the Year 2023 award.

Direct peers

• Getting Personal: UK-based personalised gifts retailer offering a similar breadth of customisable products (mugs, frames, alcohol gifts, greetings cards). Closely comparable on product category and target occasions, although more B2C-oriented than PMC's trade-only model.
• Prezzybox: UK personalised and unique gift retailer covering occasions comparable to PMC's core catalogue. Similar positioning on personalised gifting for UK consumers and corporate buyers, with overlapping SKU types.
• Thortful: UK personalised greetings card marketplace. Directly comparable on personalised card design and manufacturing, including custom photo and text personalisation — a core product line within PMC's catalogue.
• 4imprint: UK and US-based promotional products and corporate gifting supplier. Closely comparable to PMC's Bespoke branded merchandise line, including custom logo/text decoration on drinkware, bags, and stationery for B2B buyers.
• EverythingBranded (Discount Promo): UK promotional merchandise and branded corporate gift supplier. Overlaps directly with PMC's Bespoke custom-logo product range and corporate/promotional buyer base.

Broad incumbents

• Moonpig: UK-listed personalised greeting cards and gifts incumbent with a dominant position in the personalised card category. A scaled, public-market comparable for PMC's personalised cards and gift product lines.
• Etsy: Global C2C marketplace with a large personalised gifts and handmade segment. Comparable on personalised and custom-made products, but operates as a marketplace where individual makers (some of whom may source from PMC) sell to consumers.
• Funky Pigeon (WHSmith): UK personalised cards and gifts retailer owned by WHSmith, a much larger and more established player. Comparable product set in personalised greetings cards, mugs, and gifts, with a broader B2C customer base.
• Not On The High Street: UK online marketplace curating personalised and bespoke gifts from independent makers. Comparable on personalised gifting breadth and B2C end-consumer demand, but operates as a marketplace aggregator rather than a manufacturer.
• Snapfish: Photo-led personalised products platform (prints, photo books, mugs, cards). Comparable to PMC's Photo Upload product line and photo-frame, album, and guestbook offerings.
