A gift for someone who has everything
They can’t already own it, because it doesn’t exist until you choose the photo. A Mixel turns one picture into a one-off glass mosaic kit they build themselves.

Why it works as a gift
Genuinely one of a kind
Every board is laser-engraved with the tile map for that one photo, so no two kits are the same.
An experience, not more stuff
It’s a few calm, screen-free evenings of building, then a finished piece of art rather than another gadget.
Easy to get right
You see the finished mosaic on screen before you buy, so there’s no guesswork.
Questions people ask
What do you buy someone who has everything?
Something personal they couldn’t have bought themselves. A Mixel is a DIY glass mosaic kit made from a photo you choose (a pet, a place, a family moment), so it’s unique to them and gives them something to make, not just something to keep.
What exactly is a Mixel?
Mixel is a DIY glass mosaic kit made from your own photo. You upload a picture, preview it as a 30 × 30 cm mosaic, and receive 1,156 real coloured glass tiles in numbered pouches, a laser-engraved numbered wooden board and clear craft glue. You place the tiles by number, like paint-by-numbers in glass.
How much does a Mixel kit cost?
A Mixel kit costs £49 including VAT, with free Royal Mail Tracked 48 delivery anywhere in the UK. Europe is a flat £12 (5 to 8 working days) and the United States a flat £18 (7 to 10 working days).
How quickly does a Mixel arrive in the UK?
Every kit is laser-engraved and hand-packed in the UK within 48 hours. With free Royal Mail Tracked 48 it arrives in 3 to 4 working days in total, or 2 to 3 working days with Tracked 24 for £3 extra.
How long does a Mixel take to build?
Most people finish in about 3 to 4 hours if they stick at it, or spread it over a few relaxed evenings. No skills or tools are needed; every cell on the board is numbered to match a pouch of tiles.
Upload a photo and see it as a glass mosaic in seconds. Nothing to pay until you’re happy.
