🎉 Imagine This…

Sophie and James have just moved into their first home. You show up to their housewarming with a small box tied with ribbon. They open it — and there’s a custom tray with their initials and move-in date. It’s not just a gift — it becomes a talking point at their party, a fixture in their new bar setup, and a memory of that special day. That’s the power of a personalised gift done right.

💎 Why This Gift Actually Means Something

When you give something with their name or initials on it, it hits different. It feels considered. It’s not another generic item that’ll sit in a drawer — it’s theirs. Something they’ll use again and again, and remember who gave it to them.

These trays are a winner for couples who enjoy entertaining, mates who’ve just moved out for the first time, or even someone starting over in a new place. Personal, affordable, and a bit fancy — they tick every box.

🧊 More Than Just Ice

Made from high-grade platinum silicone right here in Australia, these trays are designed to last. They won’t warp, crack, or go weird in the dishwasher. And they’re not just for ice — customers use them to make custom chocolates, scented candle moulds, icy poles for the kids, or cocktail cubes for parties.

They’re flexible, dishwasher-safe, and food-grade, meaning you can trust them with hot or cold stuff without any dramas.
