About Time to Be Love | Personalised Gifts from Nottingham

Our little corner of the world

Hi, we’re Teddy and Teo — the pair behind Timetobelove.

For as long as we can remember, we’ve loved exploring. Our travels have taken us around the world, but it’s often the curious little corners of Europe that have stayed with us most. Somewhere tucked away, a little unusual, full of character. The kind of place you stumble across and remember long after you’ve gone home.

We dreamed of creating a little corner of our own. Somewhere we could put our imagination to work and make things that brought people joy. But for years, that idea travelled with us without quite becoming real.

Then we found out our daughter was on her way.

As we prepared her little space in our home, that long-held dream began to take shape. We were thinking about all the small details that would make her surroundings feel special, and we kept coming back to the same thought: what if we could make things like this ourselves?

Things with personality. A little playfulness. Something personal that you wouldn’t find just anywhere.

So, as we made room for her, we also made room for a new beginning.

Here in Nottingham, we started creating our own designs, finding our style and turning our ideas into pieces we could share. Little by little, those first steps grew into Timetobelove.

Personalised gifts became a natural part of our story. We’d always been drawn to the details that make a place memorable; now we were exploring the details that make a gift meaningful. A familiar name, a special date, a tiny reminder of a moment you never want to forget.

Our business has grown, but at its heart we’re still those two curious people, looking for ways to make everyday things a little more creative, a little more unusual and a little more personal.

Only now, we have our own little corner of the world to do it in.

With love,
Teddy & Teo 🧡
