At Gift and Receive, we believe that every 3D printed item should be more than just a product—it should be a reflection of you. That’s why we offer custom colour options across many of our prints, giving you the chance to create something truly unique, whether it’s a fiery dragon, a calming desk organiser, or a playful fidget toy.
🌈 Why Colour Choice Matters
Colour is one of the most powerful ways to express personality, mood, and style. In 3D printing, it’s not just about aesthetics—it’s about storytelling. A bold red dragon might represent courage or energy, while a pastel organiser could bring a sense of calm to your workspace. Whether you’re buying for yourself or gifting someone special, colour adds meaning.
We’ve seen customers choose colours to match:
- Their child’s favourite superhero
- A themed party or event
- Their home or office decor
- Seasonal vibes like Halloween or Christmas
- Even their mood on the day!
🛠️ How We Offer Custom Colours
When you shop with us, you’re not limited to what’s on the shelf. We stock a wide range of PLA filaments in vibrant, metallic, matte, silk, and glow-in-the-dark finishes. Here’s how the process works:
- Choose Your Item – Browse our dragons, fidgets, organisers, and more.
- Pick Your Colour(s) – Select from our filament chart or ask us for recommendations.
- Add Personal Touches – Want a two-tone dragon or a glitter finish? Just ask!
- We Print It for You – Your item is made to order, with your chosen colours.
We love helping customers mix and match shades to create something that feels personal and exciting. And if you’re unsure what colours go well together, we’re always happy to guide you.
🧵 What Filaments Do We Use?
We primarily use PLA (Polylactic Acid), a biodegradable plastic made from renewable resources like corn starch. It’s safe, low-odor, and perfect for vibrant, detailed prints. Our filament collection includes:
- Standard colours like red, blue, green, black, and white
- Specialty finishes like silk gold, marble, and rainbow gradient
- Seasonal favourites like orange for pumpkins or glow-in-the-dark for ghosts
We’re constantly updating our filament stock to keep things fresh and fun.
🎁 Custom Colours Make Great Gifts
Looking for a birthday present, stocking filler, or desk upgrade? Custom colours make your gift stand out. Imagine giving a child a dragon in their favourite colour—or a teacher a pen holder that matches their classroom theme. It’s thoughtful, personal, and memorable.
We’ve had customers order:
- School-themed fidgets in house colours
- Desk sets in corporate branding colours
- Halloween prints in spooky black and orange
- Rainbow dragons for Pride celebrations
