Made for one person
For type a name,
and no one else.
Every piece carries one name, one date, one place. You see a picture of the real thing before we make it — and you can change anything until it’s right.

Three steps, one of them yours
Nothing gets made until
you’ve seen it.
I
Send us the details
A name. A date. A photo. Two city names. Whatever the piece needs — the form only asks for what it actually uses.
II
Approve the proof
Within 48 hours you get a picture of the real thing. Wrong spelling, wrong date, wrong feeling — say so and we redraw it. As many times as it takes.
No charge for changesIII
We make it, then ship it
Made to order in 3–5 days, delivered in 4–7. Ships in a gift box with a handwritten card, straight to you or straight to them.
Five things we make well
By what it is
Why we’re called Kindred
The things worth carrying a long way were always made for one person.
For two thousand years the goods that moved along the silk routes were not the cheap ones. They were the dyed cloth nobody else in the caravan had, the name cut into a piece of metal, the pattern a family had used for four generations. Things a person carried a very long way because of who they were carrying them to.
We make gifts the same way — one name at a time, in the three dyes that traveled further than anything else on that road. Madder root for red, indigo for blue, saffron for gold. They are still the colors in every piece we print, weave and engrave.
Kindred is the word for the people you’d carry something home for. That’s the whole business.

You’re one of our first customers
We don’t have a wall of reviews yet.
Here’s what we’ll sign our name to.
01
You see it before we make it
A photo of the real piece lands in your inbox within 48 hours. Change the spelling, the date, the layout — as many rounds as you need, at no charge.
02
If it’s wrong, we remake it
Doesn’t match the proof you approved, or arrives damaged? We make a new one and cover shipping both ways. You don’t have to send the first one back.
03
We tell you the real date
3–5 days to make, 4–7 to deliver. If something slips you hear it from us by email first, not from a tracking page that stops updating.
04
A person reads every order
Nothing auto-approves. Memorial orders go to a human before anything else happens, and we’ll write back before we make a thing.
We opened Kindred this year. That means no review count to point at, and I’d rather say so than pad the number. What I can promise is that for now every proof that leaves here is one I’ve looked at myself. If a piece isn’t right, write to me directly and I’ll fix it.

Before you order
Questions people actually ask
Can I change the personalization after I've ordered?
Yes — any time before you approve the proof, and that’s usually a two-day window. Reply to the proof email with what you want changed and we’ll send a new one. There’s no charge and no limit on rounds.
What if the spelling is wrong on the finished piece?
If it doesn’t match the proof you approved, we remake it and cover the shipping both ways. If the proof itself had the typo and it got approved, write to us anyway — we’ll usually remake it at cost.
Do you take returns on personalized pieces?
Honest answer: we can’t resell something with your mother’s name on it, so we don’t accept change-of-mind returns. What we do instead is make the proof step mandatory, so nothing ships that you haven’t already seen and signed off on. Anything damaged, misprinted or off-spec gets remade or refunded in full.
Can you ship straight to the recipient?
Yes. Add their address at checkout and tick “this is a gift” — we leave the invoice out, put a handwritten card in, and email the tracking to you rather than to them.
Do you ship outside the United States?
We ship to Canada, the UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand. Delivery runs 8–14 business days and duties are calculated at checkout so there’s nothing to pay on arrival.
How do memorial orders work?
The same three steps, but we slow the proof stage down and a person — not a template — reads what you sent. If you’d rather talk it through first, write to care@kindredmadegifts.com and we’ll help you decide what to make.
