About Us

Hello, we're Tarren and Simon

Absolutely Personal is a husband-and-wife business based in Quedgeley, Gloucester. Every gift you order is designed, printed and finished by the two of us.

How it started

It all began in 2021 at my kitchen table, making personalised Scrabble frames. Word spread, orders grew, and little by little I learnt new crafts and added more to the range.

When Simon was made redundant after 35 years with the same company, he joined me in the business. We've been working side by side ever since, and we make a great team. Between us, we make every one of your orders by hand.

Absolutely Personal is now our main job and our income, so every single order genuinely means everything to us. Thank you for choosing a small family business.

What we love

No two days are the same. One day it's personalised mugs and Christmas sacks, the next it's children's pyjamas, memorial keepsakes or framed prints. We love the variety, and we love knowing that each piece is going to mean something special to someone.

We're also proud to support local charities and causes, including our England's Glory fundraiser to help restore the illuminated sign at the old Morelands Match Factory.

Come and say hello

You're welcome to collect your order from us Monday to Friday, 10am to 4pm. We're on the first floor above Pirtek at 29 Brunel Court, Quedgeley, GL2 2AL. Please go to the left of the building and ring the buzzer.

Need help choosing a gift or have an idea for something a little different? Get in touch and we'll be happy to help.
