What We Make

Personalized Gifts For Every Occasion

Every gift is custom-made for the person it's for. We turn photos into glowing lithophane lamps, design illuminated light boxes around your art, and create keepsakes that customers actually keep on display for years.

Lithophane Photo Lamps

Photo glows when lit

Send us a photo. We turn it into a 3D printed panel that comes to life when backlit. Family photos, pets, weddings, memorials.

Custom Light Boxes

LED-powered

Custom 3D printed frames with embedded LEDs and personalized graphic panels. Logos, names, photos, custom art.

Custom Name Plaques

Personalized

Names, dates, monograms, family crests in 3D. Bedroom signs, office plaques, baby announcements, anniversary pieces.

For Your Desktop

Made personal

Personalized desk pieces, custom paperweights, name plates, fidget creations, and gift-worthy desk decor. The kind of thing that lives on a coworker's or family member's desk for years.

Wedding and Event Favors

Bulk-priced

Personalized wedding favors, baby shower gifts, anniversary keepsakes, quoted to your quantity.

One-of-a-Kind Keepsakes

Full custom

Custom anniversary pieces, retirement gifts, "thinking of you" keepsakes, custom decor. Full-custom anything you can imagine.

Ornaments & Seasonal Pieces

Year after year

Dated ornaments, first Christmas keepsakes, and seasonal decor with names on them. The kind of thing that comes back out of the box every year.

Cookie Cutters & Kitchen Pieces

Actually used

Custom cookie cutters from your own shape or logo, stamps, and kitchen odds and ends. A gift that gets used rather than shelved.

From Idea to Heartfelt

Send your photo, design, or just an idea. We'll model it, print it, and finish it with care, refining the design until it is right.

01

Send Us the Vision

A photo, a sketch, a description, or a name. JPG/PNG/PDF works for references. Tell us who it's for and the occasion.

02

Get a Gift Quote

Pricing for the piece, the colors, and any custom design work. Sent back via email with a clear timeline.

03

Design and Print

We model your gift (if needed), print it in your colors, and finish it. Light post-print finishing included.

04

Wrap and Deliver

Meetup, direct delivery, or USPS shipping. Most pieces come ready to gift in protective packaging.

Color On A Personal Piece

Gifts split into two camps here. Lithophane photo lamps print in a single neutral, usually white or ivory, because the image is made by thickness rather than color: light passes through the thin parts and stops at the thick ones. Adding color to a lithophane muddies the photo rather than improving it.

Everything else opens right up. Light boxes, name plaques, keepsakes, and favors all take multiple colors, and a raised name in a second color reads far better than the same name painted on. If a piece is going to somebody specific, tell us their colors and we will build them into the model rather than adding them afterward.

We absolutely loved all our 3D printed items from Cuddy and Westside 3D for our wedding!! We had custom name place cards made, our head table letters and stands for our cake toppers. Everything was perfect, great communication and turn around time!!

Great company! We ordered some custom 3D printed monster trucks for our son, and these came out better than expected. There were a lot of color and size options available. They were a hit for Christmas and my son plays with them daily.

Our son is so into monster trucks and one of our friends got him a custom one with his name on it from here. Since then we have ordered more different themed trucks and they all turn out great. Great work!

Common Questions

Gifts get personal, and personal gets specific. If your idea raises something not covered here, describe it on the quote form.

What is a lithophane?
A 3D printed image that comes to life when backlit. We take your photo, convert it into a 3D model, and print it layer by layer in light PLA. Place it in front of a light source and the varying material thickness creates a stunning grayscale image. Perfect for custom photo lamps, night lights, and personalized art.
What kind of photo works best for a lithophane?
High-contrast photos with clear subjects work best. Portrait shots, pet photos, family photos, and landscape shots all translate well. Avoid heavy shadows and busy backgrounds. We can advise on whether your photo will work before printing.
What goes into a custom light box?
A 3D printed PLA or PETG frame with embedded LED lights and a custom graphic panel. Your image, logo, name, or art is etched into the panel and lights up when powered. We design the frame size, the graphic, and the lighting to fit your space.
Can you do memorial pieces?
Yes. Memorial lithophane lamps with photos, name plaques, custom remembrance pieces, and pet memorials are all common. We work with care on these projects and take the time to get them right.
What about wedding favors?
Yes. Custom wedding keepsakes, monogrammed favors, photo lithophane keepsakes, and personalized name pieces are all popular. Mention your guest count on the quote and we will price the run.
How do you get my gift to me?
Gifts get packed with a bit more care, especially lithophanes and light boxes, which do not enjoy being knocked about. Meetup around Stanislaus County, direct delivery to your home in the county, or USPS at going rates. If it is for a specific date, say so and we will plan the handoff around it.
