Flowers are a classic gift, but a personalised vase makes the gesture last long after the bouquet has faded. Adding a name, age, date, photograph or special message turns the vase into a keepsake that can be displayed with fresh flowers, dried flowers or simply as a decorative piece.

Our personalised vases are made to order and designed for many of life’s important moments. This guide covers every personalised vase currently in our collection and explains which occasions and recipients each design suits best.

Which personalised vase suits the occasion?

• Mother’s Day, Mum’s birthday or Christmas: choose a Mum design or a floral quote vase.
• Milestone birthdays: add the recipient’s age and your own message.
• Weddings and anniversaries: celebrate the couple, their names and an important date.
• Retirement: create a lasting reminder of colleagues and years of service.
• Valentine’s Day: pair a romantic design with their favourite flowers.
• Sympathy and remembrance: choose a sensitive memorial design featuring a treasured photograph.

Personalised vases for Mum, Nan and Mother’s Day

The Awesome Mum Vase is a cheerful choice for Mother’s Day, Mum’s birthday or Christmas. It can include your own message and the recipient wording can be changed, making it suitable for a mum, nan, grandma, auntie, sister or friend.

For a simple and affectionate message, the I Love You Mum Vase keeps those important words on display all year. It works especially well from children or grandchildren and can be paired with a bouquet for Mother’s Day, a birthday or Christmas.

The Floral Quote Mum Vase combines colourful flowers with room for a personal message. It is a strong choice when you want the design itself to feel bright and celebratory, even when the vase is displayed without flowers.

Floral quote vases for family and friends

The Floral Quote Vase features a sentimental garden-inspired quote and space for your own message. The recipient wording can be adapted for Mum, Nan, Grandma, Auntie, Sister or a close friend, so it suits birthdays, Mother’s Day, Christmas or a thoughtful “just because” gift.

Our Flower Quote Vase is another versatile design for nannies, mummies, aunties, sisters and friends. A small “love from” note can make it especially meaningful from children or grandchildren. It is ideal for birthdays, Christmas and family celebrations.

A personalised vase for milestone birthdays

The Birthday Age Vase is designed for important birthdays such as a 50th, 60th, 70th or 80th. Add the recipient’s age, name and a personal message to create a keepsake that marks the occasion clearly. It is also a practical centrepiece for birthday flowers and can remain on display afterwards.

Anniversary and wedding vase gifts

The Special Anniversary Vase is made for couples celebrating a wedding anniversary. Designs are available for the traditional silver, ruby, golden and diamond milestones, with personalisation for names, dates and messages. It is suitable for a husband or wife, parents, grandparents or a couple celebrating many years together.

A vase is particularly fitting for an anniversary because it can be presented with the recipient’s favourite flowers, then kept as a reminder of the date. It can also make a thoughtful wedding gift when personalised with the couple’s names and ceremony date.

A thoughtful personalised retirement gift

The Retirement Vase gives colleagues a way to commemorate someone’s contribution and wish them well for the future. Add the retiree’s name, a message and a “from” note from the team. Presented with flowers on their final working day, it becomes both part of the celebration and a lasting reminder of the people they worked with.

A romantic vase for Valentine’s Day

The Personalised Valentine’s Vase is designed to accompany a romantic bouquet. Add a short message to make it more personal than flowers alone. Although it is ideal for Valentine’s Day, it can also be used for a partner’s birthday, Christmas, an anniversary or another romantic occasion.

A personalised memorial vase

The In Loving Memory Vase offers a sensitive way to remember somebody special. It can be personalised with a photograph, wording and colour choices, allowing the family to create a tribute that feels personal to them. It may be given as a sympathy gift or displayed at home with favourite flowers in remembrance of a loved one.

Personalised vases as Christmas gifts

A personalised vase is easy to match to the recipient and remains useful after Christmas. The Mum and floral quote designs are particularly suitable for mothers, grandmothers, aunties, sisters and friends. Add festive flowers, dried stems or a small bouquet to turn the vase into a complete ready-to-give present.

For Christmas, consider the recipient first: an affectionate Mum design works well from children, while a general floral quote gives you more freedom to personalise the relationship and message.

How to personalise your vase

• Double-check the spelling of every name, age and date.
• Write the message exactly as you want it to appear.
• Keep shorter messages clear and easy to read.
• Include the recipient wording, such as Mum, Nan, Auntie or Friend.
• Add a “love from” message where the design allows it.
• Use the personalisation box on the product page before adding the vase to your basket.

Choosing and caring for your vase

Sizes and personalisation options vary between designs, so check the individual product page before ordering. If you are including flowers, think about where the vase will be displayed and choose a bouquet that complements its colours.

Our printed vases should be cleaned with a cold rinse. Avoid warm or hot water, which may damage the printed design. Cleaning instructions are also included with the package for the recipient.
