Welcome to Oakdene Designs!
Our mission is to create personalised gifts that are both sentimental and stylish, helping you cherish memorable moments while enhancing your home décor.
Our Journey
Oakdene Designs began in 2007 when our founder, Ben Grist, started crafting high-end chicken coops during his A-levels. This spark of creativity led to the birth of Oakdene Designs in 2012. Since then, we’ve embarked on an exciting adventure, growing into a team of 12 full-time staff, all dedicated to creating special gifts for special moments.
What We Do
Located in Surrey, all our products are designed, made, and packaged in-house. We pride ourselves on sourcing locally and supporting fellow small businesses. By 2014, we reached a million-pound turnover, a milestone we’re incredibly proud of.
Our team comes from diverse creative backgrounds, allowing us to innovate continuously. We utilise various techniques, including UV printing, laser cutting, and sublimation, to bring our unique designs to life.
Eco-Friendly Practices
We are committed to sustainability:
Our packaging is plastic-free.
We use renewable energy for our operations, including heating.
We minimise package sizes to reduce our carbon footprint, especially for international deliveries.
Many products are letterbox-friendly to reduce delivery attempts.
Thoughtful Gifting
We believe every gift tells a story. Our personalised gifts become cherished keepsakes, capturing moments and memories in a unique and heartfelt way. Each product is designed and made to order by our expert team, ensuring it’s as special as the person receiving it.
