Made in Dubai · printed to order

Small things, printed in tiny layers.

Name keychains, bag tags, straw toppers and party favours — designed and printed by Mimi, who is ten, on a machine that builds every piece one colourful layer at a time.

The shop

Everything is printed after you order, so you pick the colours. Anything marked personalised gets a name on it at no extra charge.

Party favours & school orders

The best value thing she makes. One design, printed overnight in your party colours, with every guest's name on their own piece.

Popular for birthdays, class gifts, end-of-year teacher presents and National Day. Ten days' notice is ideal; five is usually possible. Slide to see the price.

How ordering works

No checkout, no accounts. Just a message.

1

Message her

Tell her what you'd like, the colours, and any names that go on it. She'll confirm the price and when it'll be ready.

2

She prints it

Most small items are ready in two to three days. Party packs take about a week. She'll send you a photo before it leaves.

3

Collect or delivered

Pay by cash, bank transfer or payment link. Collection is free; delivery around Dubai can be arranged.

“I like watching it build up line by line. The best part is when someone reads their own name on the one I made for them.” — Mimi, founder, age 10

About Mimi

Mimi is ten, lives in Dubai, and runs Tiny Layers herself. She chooses the designs, draws the custom ones, picks the colour combinations, starts every print, checks each piece and packs the orders.

Her parents help with the boring grown-up parts — the messages, the money and the driving. Everything you buy here was actually made by a kid, on one printer, in a home in Dubai. That's rather the point.

Questions

Can I choose the colours?

Yes, and you should — it's the fun part. Her printer handles several colours in a single piece, so name keychains and tags can be two-tone. Tell her the colours you want when you message.

How long does an order take?

Small personalised items: two to three days. Gift sets: about four days. Party packs of 25 or more: around a week. During Ramadan, Eid and National Day, order two weeks ahead — those get busy.

Are these safe for small children?

These are accessories, charms and desk pieces — not toys. They contain small parts and aren't suitable for children under three. Please don't put the cup and straw charms in a dishwasher or anywhere hot, and keep them away from the drinking end of a straw: printed plastic isn't food-safe.

Can she print a design I send her?

Often yes — send it over and she'll tell you. She can't print copyrighted characters or brand logos, so no Pokémon, Disney or football crests. She's happy to design something original in that style instead.

Do you do school and corporate orders?

Yes. Class gifts, school event merchandise and small office desk gifts all work well in batches of 20 to 100. Message with your quantity and deadline for a quote.

Tell her what you'd like

Fill this in and it turns into a message you can send straight over. She usually replies the same day, after school.
