About Us

We’re Jon & Debbie – a husband-and-wife team behind Made With a Smile, based just outside York in Tadcaster.

Our story began in 2015, after Jon was made redundant. Instead of going back to the 9–5, we took a leap and decided to create something of our own – and Made With a Smile was born.

We started with soy wax melts (one of the first small UK makers to do so), and quickly grew into a business fuelled by craft, creativity, and personal touch.

Jon now also designs and engraves our signature wooden gifts, while Debbie brings her lifelong passion for making into unique products you won’t find anywhere else. From bespoke items to original ideas, everything is handmade by us – no outsourcing, no mass production.

We sell online and at craft events across Yorkshire and beyond, and nothing makes us happier than seeing someone find a gift that makes them smile.

Thanks so much for supporting our small business – it really means the world.
