Everything you Need to Know About Ordering a Custom Favourite Things Print
How to Choose Items for Your Personalised Print
Creating a personalised print that reflects your unique interests or those of your loved ones should be a joyful and exciting process! To help you get started, head to the Gallery page to check out and preview the items that are available to add to your personalised print. You can also click here to see all the options in a handy list (including some that aren’t yet available to preview as the collection gets uploaded)!
Here are a few tips to help you choose the perfect collection of items for your custom favourite things illustration:
Reflect on Your Passions
Think about what brings you joy. Are you a foodie? A cinema buff? Or perhaps you have a favourite hobby? Jot down your top interests to create a great foundation for your design.
Celebrate the Little Things
Consider incorporating everyday items that make you smile. It could be your favourite snack, a cherished piece of clothing, or something as simple as a good cup of tea. These "little things" add character and meaning to your artwork.
Think About Aesthetic
Imagine how the items will look together once illustrated. Choosing items with varying shapes, sizes, and colours can create a visually dynamic piece, making your print even more striking.
Involve Others
If it’s a gift for someone special, involve them in the process using your TOP spy skills. Casually ask them about their favourite things or memorable experiences to ensure the print resonates with their personality. If you’re treatng yourself, sometimes I also find that the people I live with know more about me that I know about myself!
Ordering Instructions - Don’t Panic!
Now that you have a better idea of what you’d like on your print, you’ll want to head to the Little Things Posters page of the Shop and select your chosen size. The small size is best for a little desk print but I’d reccomend medium - XL if you’re after some wall art.
If you’re feeling a little lost with how it works, don’t worry! Incoming super handy top tips for creating the piece of your dreams…
Select from the dropdown box if you’d like to add a custom item. These are priced at £35 each and are for extra special little things that aren’t on the cataloge and so will require me to design and illustrate this for you. You can add a maximum of two to each order.
Add your chosen size, whether you’d like a paper upgrade (the premium paper has a thicker, more card like feel and makes the colours a little brighter) and checkout as normal.
MOST IMPORTANTLY: Using the same email address used to checkout - fill in THIS form to select the designs you’d like on your print. Many options have drop downs that appear so that you can add any extra details that will make your print extra special. For example:
Item colour changes - for example ‘brown Birkenstocks’
Personalised named items including pet bowls and bones, favourite song titles, teacher names etc.
If you have chosen ‘books’, please add the names of 5 books you’d like me to personlaise for free. If you don’t enter these, they will be a blank stack of books.
If you have chosen ‘backpacking’, ‘suitcase (modern)’ or ‘suitcase (vintage)’, any country patches or stickers you’d like to add to your bag.
If and ONLY if you checked out with the £35 additonal item(s) you’ll be able to add these on here and even upload a reference picture if it’s something super unique! Portraits of both pets and people will not be accepted, sorry!
If you’d like me to incorporate a colour scheme (I hear you, you want your design to match your living room aesthetic), there is a box for this on the form. Again, I will do my best but some items cannot be changed - no one wants to see a pink avocado, sorry.
It’s as easy as that.
See, told you it’s not as complicated as it first seems! Just follow the steps along and you’ll be able to ensure I can create you a beautiful piece of art that captures all of your favourite little things. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me or check out the help page for FAQs. Happy choosing!
