About Us

Welcome to Getting Personal.co.uk - the personal place to shop...

Who we are and where we came from.
GettingPersonal.co.uk is your home for personalised and unique gift ideas.

Created in November 2005 with my co-founder and friend Giles, shortly before the birth of my daughter, GettingPersonal.co.uk has grown immensely thanks to your support. And, although we've never deviated from our original commitment to offering unique and personal gifts that cannot be purchased on the High Street, we're worked hard to develop new ideas and further extend our range of products.

We started the company with our Personalised Calendar, and even today, it's still one of our most popular products.

However, although we attribute some of our success to our commitment to offering great gifts at affordable prices, none of it would have been possible without the support and enthusiasm of people like you. Indeed, as many of our gifts are designed and produced exclusively 'in-house', all of our best selling items have been created as a consequence of customer suggestions.

Today, we are a leading online retailer of Gifts, Personalised Gifts & Unusual Gifts. We were ranked by Hitwise as a Top 10 Website in the Gifts & Flowers category for 2008.
