How it works

Three simple steps

  3. We make it by hand

    The lettering is laser cut, then every sign is hand sanded, hand stained and set by hand.

About us

A small workshop with a personal touch

My Custom Idea is a small workshop in Hillsborough, New Jersey. Since 2020 we have been making personalized wood signs for the names that matter most: couples and families, Dad and Papa, and the dogs, cats and other pets who run the house.

Only the lettering is laser cut. Everything after that is done by hand: we sand each board, stain it in the color you choose and set every letter.

A pet’s name gets the same care as a couple’s wedding date.

Questions, answered

Can I see my sign before I order?

Yes. Every sign and charcuterie board has a live preview. Type the names, pick the stain and lettering color (or the engraving design on boards), and it updates on the product page as you go.

How are the signs made, and how do I care for them?

The lettering is laser cut. Sanding, staining and setting the letters are all done by hand in our Hillsborough, NJ workshop. Signs are made for indoor use. Because every board is real pine, grain, knots and stain tone vary a little from sign to sign.

How do shipping, pickup and delivery work?

Handling time is fast, and you can choose ground or express shipping. If you are within 10 miles of Hillsborough, NJ, local pickup and local delivery are available.

Which colors can I choose?

Nine wood stains (Natural, Mocha, Walnut, Slate, Navy, Black, Barn Red, Pink and White) and three lettering colors: Natural, White and Black.

Are the pet signs only for dogs?

No. Our pet name signs are made for dogs, cats, rabbits and other pets. Leash holders are designed with dogs in mind.
