MYGU
About MYGU
A garage in Matosinhos, and the conviction that a personalised gift should not look like a generic product with a sticker on top.
How it started
In 2023 we made a rosary for a grandmother. It was meant to be a present and it ended up being a business: seventeen requests arrived over the following weeks from people who had seen the piece. We realised the Portuguese market had plenty of mass production and very little genuinely made for one particular person.
Today we are five and we work online only. We design the pieces, pour the candles and compose the baskets in the same production space, and we still make a preview of every piece by hand before producing it.

How we work
Our own production
Nothing is subcontracted. If something goes wrong it was us, and we fix it.
Real personalisation
The name is part of the piece or the label, not a sticker applied afterwards.
Materials we stand behind
Soy wax, recycled board packaging and cotton ribbon.
Portuguese producers
Every food product in the baskets comes from a producer we visited.
The studio
One production space with a finishing bench and a wax kitchen, where we also put the baskets together. There is no shop to walk into: we work online only and ship across the country.
