About Time to Be Love | Personalised Gifts from Nottingham
Hi, I'm Teo — and Timetobe.Love is built on a simple belief: the best gifts aren't bought, they're made with intention.
Based in Nottingham, UK, I started this shop because I kept searching for truly personal gifts for the people I love and kept coming up short. Everything on the high street felt generic. Nothing felt like them. So I decided to make something better.
Handmade, Every Single One
Every item in our shop is handcrafted by us here in Nottingham. From personalised cake toppers and custom map plaques to engraved keychains, caricature gifts, and portrait prints — each piece is made to order, with your names, your dates, your story at the centre of it.
We don't do batch production. We don't do off-the-shelf. We do yours.
Over 5,000 Happy Customers
Since we opened, over 5,000 customers have trusted us with their most important moments — birthdays, weddings, graduations, anniversaries, first dates. We've made gifts that have made people cry (the happy kind), gifts that have become treasured keepsakes, and gifts that have been passed around at parties with everyone asking where they came from.
We're proud of every single one.
What We Make
- Personalised Cake Toppers — custom name and age toppers for birthdays, weddings and kids' parties
- Custom Map Plaques — marking your first date, wedding venue or special location
- Engraved Keychains — personalised with coordinates, names or messages
- Caricature Gifts — hand-illustrated standees and cake toppers unique to you
- Portrait Prints — custom illustrated prints for graduation, friendship and family
- Night Lights — star maps and kids' night lights with names and dates
Our Promise
Every order comes with a proof before we print — you see it before we make it. We ship across the UK with 1–3 working day dispatch, and we're always on hand if anything needs changing.
We're a small shop and we love it that way. It means we care about every single order, because every order is someone's special moment.
Thank you for shopping small. It means everything.
— Teo & the Timetobe.Love team 🧡
