Ooak Gifts
One of a Kind Handmade Gifts
Personalised handmade gifts created by me and made to order are what I love to make.
I’m Sue. My business is called Ooak Gifts because the word “Ooak” stands for “one of a kind”. However, I also offer some ready made items which are often one-offs too.
The gifts which I make fall broadly into two categories: those which I create by sewing and those which I make using beadwork jewellery techniques mainly focussed on astrological charts.
1. Keepsake Dolls
I make these dolls by hand and to order because they are dressed in whatever was worn on the day which the recipient wishes to remember. Examples of clothing chosen for a keepsake doll include a bridal gown, bridesmaid dress, graduation gown, prom dress, etc.
2. Christmas Decorations
I create these in wool or wool mix felt and I can make them to order in the buyer’s choice of colours. Many of these items are created from designs by Larissa Holland. I intend these little decorations to become family heirlooms as happy memories of Christmases together are created.
Easter Decorations
These are created to my own design in 100% wool felt. They are embroidered with good quality threads with added shimmer. Some designs have little flowers in beadwork.
3. Toy Handbags or Toy Tote Bags
These are for the under fives. If required the toy tote bags can be personalised with the child’s name. All the bags are UKCA marked with toy tote bags being suitable from 18 months and the zipped handbags for children from 3 years.
My main interest is in jewellery that relates to an astrological chart which is meaningful to the wearer.
I currently offer several different styles in these – please click image link for more details. All my personalised astrology items can be found in my Buy Indie shop.
