# About **By Alan Morley** · 2026-01-05 ## Welcome to Gifts For You All – Where Entertainment, Magic, and Craftsmanship Collide Hi, I'm Alan, and I've spent most of my life in the business of creating memorable moments. From DJing at parties and nightclubs around the world to performing magic that leaves people wondering 'how did he do that?', I've always been drawn to the art of surprise and delight. But the story of Gifts For You All isn't just about entertainment—it's about evolution, resilience, and building something extraordinary on our own terms. ### From Salford to the World Stage Born in Salford in the North West, I grew up with a passion for entertainment and a love of theme parks and attractions. I've travelled the world visiting incredible venues and experiences, always with an eye for what makes people smile, gasp, and remember a moment long after it's passed. Whether I was behind the decks reading a crowd, performing close-up magic that defied logic, or exploring the latest theme park innovation, I was always chasing that same feeling: **the joy of creating wonder.** That same passion for creating magic – whether on stage, behind the decks, or in the products we curate – is what drives Gifts For You All today. ### Spotting the Gap in the Market (2006) Here in Blackpool, I kept hearing the same questions: 'Do you know any good wedding suppliers?' 'Where can I find unique birthday gifts?' 'I need something special, but everything on the high street looks the same.' That's when it clicked. There was a gap in the market for a different kind of gift shop – one that offered extraordinary finds at prices that didn't require a magic trick to afford. I've always believed in treating customers, not cheating them. In fact, I like to joke that we're cheaper than the shoplifters! So in 2006, I started in the gift business, helping people find special items for weddings, birthdays, and celebrations. I approached product curation the same way I approach a magic performance – it has to surprise, delight, and leave a lasting impression. ### The 3D Printing Chapter: Becoming a Maker Fast forward a few years, and I discovered the world of 3D printing. Like many makers, I was fascinated by the technology—the ability to turn a digital design into a physical object, layer by layer, right in front of your eyes. What started as a hobby quickly became an obsession. I invested in printers, learned CAD design, experimented with different materials and techniques, and spent countless hours perfecting the craft. Each dragon figurine, each fidget toy, each collectible piece taught me something new about precision, quality, and what customers really wanted. It was like learning a new performance art—except instead of cards and coins, I was working with filament and precision engineering. ### The TikTok Journey (and Why We Chose Independence) In the early days of exploring 3D printing, I took to TikTok to share what I was creating. Going live, showing the printers in action, revealing the behind-the-scenes process of bringing designs to life—it resonated with people. There's something mesmerizing about watching a 3D printer work, and viewers loved seeing the journey from filament to finished product. We built a following. People engaged, asked questions, placed orders. It felt like we were building something real. But as 3D printing exploded in popularity, TikTok became saturated with content from hobbyists and casual creators. The platform's algorithm began favoring viral moments over established businesses, and the audience naturally gravitated toward the novelty of new faces. It became clear that building a sustainable business on someone else's platform—where the rules, algorithms, and priorities could shift overnight—wasn't the foundation I wanted. I'd spent years running a legitimate UK registered business (Company No. 15182240), maintaining quality standards, and building genuine customer relationships. I realized that to truly serve our customers and grow on our own terms, we needed our own platform—one where we controlled the experience from start to finish. That's when I made a decision: **if we were going to succeed long-term, it had to be on our own terms, on our own platform.** I'd spent years performing for audiences, reading rooms, and adapting to changing crowds. I knew when it was time to change the stage. ### 2023: Relaunching Gifts For You All Online In 2023, we relaunched as Gifts For You All—a proper, independent online store where we could control the narrative, showcase our work properly, and build direct relationships with customers who valued quality and authenticity. We took everything I'd learned from years of entertaining, curating, creating, and engaging with customers, and poured it into this store. No algorithm games. No platform dependency. Just us, our products, and the people who appreciate what we do. And honestly? It's been liberating. ### What We Make (and What We Curate) Here's what sets us apart: **many of the 3D printed items you see in our store aren't just sold by us—they're designed and printed by us**, right here in our Blackpool workshop. Every dragon, every flexi-fidget toy, every collectible figurine goes through our hands. We quality-check each piece, ensure the layers are smooth, the details are crisp, and the finish is something we'd be proud to own ourselves. You won't find these exact items on Amazon or in high street shops because they're ours. When you buy from us, you're supporting a small UK maker, not a faceless corporation or overseas reseller. Beyond our own creations, every item in our collection has been handpicked because it caught my eye, sparked my imagination, or made me smile. From enchanting fantasy figurines and gothic collectibles to specialty chocolates and unique treasures, we seek out pieces that tell a story and make a statement. We work with premium brands like Nemesis Now and Anne Stokes, source one-of-a-kind 3D printed creations, and constantly hunt for that next remarkable find. We're not interested in stocking what everyone else has. If you can find it in every shop on the high street, you won't find it here. ### Still Performing, Still Discovering I still DJ and perform magic to this day – it keeps me connected to what people love, what makes them laugh, and what creates those unforgettable moments. And I still visit theme parks and attractions around the world, always on the lookout for inspiration and the next big idea. That spirit of discovery, entertainment, and wonder is woven into everything we do at Gifts For You All. Whether I'm performing a card trick that defies logic, spinning tracks that get a crowd moving, or curating a collection of fantasy figurines that spark imagination—it's all about creating moments that matter. ### Who We Serve Our customers are discerning gift-givers, collectors of the unusual, fantasy enthusiasts, gothic souls, and anyone who appreciates quality, craftsmanship, and a bit of magic in their everyday lives. Whether you're shopping for: - A fantasy lover who dreams of dragons and wizards - A gothic soul drawn to skulls, ravens, and dark aesthetics - A fidget toy fan who appreciates tactile, satisfying designs - Someone who's 'impossible to buy for' because they have everything - Yourself (because you deserve something extraordinary) ...we've got something that'll make you smile. ### Our Philosophy: We Treat You, Not Cheat You That tagline isn't just marketing—it's how we operate. We believe in transparent pricing, honest product descriptions, and customer service that actually cares. If you have a question about how something's made, what materials we use, or whether a product is right for you, just ask. We've got nothing to hide and plenty to share. We're real people running a real business. When you email us, you're talking to Alan or someone on our small team—not a chatbot, not a call center overseas, not an automated response system. I've performed for audiences around the world. I know the difference between genuine connection and cheap tricks. We're here for the real thing. ### Why Blackpool? Why the UK? We're proud to be based in Blackpool—a town with character, creativity, and a rich history of entertainment and showmanship. It's also where I call home. Being UK-based means: - **Quality control:** We oversee production and curation ourselves - **Faster shipping:** Your order doesn't travel halfway around the world - **Accountability:** We're a registered UK company (No. 15182240) with real standards to uphold - **Supporting local:** Your purchase supports UK jobs and makers We ship across the UK and beyond, and we're constantly working to improve our service, expand our range, and deliver the kind of experience that keeps customers coming back. ### Looking Ahead We're not done evolving. We're constantly experimenting with new designs, sourcing new products, and listening to what our customers want. We've got plans to expand our 3D printing capabilities, introduce custom design options, and continue building a brand that stands for quality, creativity, and authenticity. But at our core, we'll always be entertainers, makers, and curators who genuinely love what we do. ### Join Us on This Journey If you've read this far, thank you. Seriously.
