Make it personal with Mamissima

When Carrie Bradshaw and the Sex and the City girls first hit our screens in 1998, women swooned over their wardrobes, coveted their lifestyle and dreamed of being transported to the razzle dazzle of New York City. Some might say Carrie was responsible for starting the personalised jewellery trend, which saw women the world over rushing to wear their name on a necklace.

We like to think we’re trendsetters at Mamissima too. In fact, our personalised necklaces by Chambers & Beau were some of the first on sale in Sussex and are still one of our top selling items. The stunning sterling silver necklaces feature tag, disc and gold plated Amour D’or heart charms, all clustered together with semi-precious stones of your choice. Add your name and the names of your little ones to create a bespoke piece of jewellery that will last a lifetime. Prices vary, ask in-store for more details or visit our website.

If it's a contemporary but traditional gift you're after, perhaps to accessorise your child's room or to give to a friend, our personalised Monday's Child Rhyme Print is the gift for you. The text 'Welcome to the world (child's name)' is written in black ink underneath the rhyme. All set on a cream background and finished off in a simple, classic white frame, this is a unique gift that can be treasured forever. Simply provide us with the name of the child and day of the week they were born - we'll do the rest. £15, framed.

Our very own Brighton-based designer has also created a selection of personalised products, available exclusively at Mamissima:

Vintage Name Prints make a fantastic gift. Tell us your child’s name and we will create a personalised print with a gorgeous poem just for them, based on their favourite pass times, colours and best qualities. The text style comes from old Victorian children’s books and the images are taken from 1970s American impressionist children’s illustrations, influenced by cowboys and Hollywood starlets. From £17.99.

From Amelia to Zoe and Ade to Zackary – and everything in between – let our artist create a piece of art that will look gorgeous in any little boy or girl’s bedroom. Our personalised Baby Name Prints are not just beautiful and individual but also educational. If your child’s name begins with a ‘C’, the print will feature an array of carefully hand-drawn illustrations of objects that begin with the same letter. From £17.99.

If you’d like to purchase any of the above, pop into Mamissima to browse our range of personalised products or visit our website. We’re sure Carrie would approve.
