Why Personalised Number Plate Gifts Are on the Rise
Personalised number plates have become a booming business in the UK, with demand continuing to grow steadily year on year. Once seen purely as luxury status symbols, custom plates are now widely embraced as meaningful, memorable, and surprisingly accessible gifts.
Whether it’s a birthday, anniversary, graduation, or other special occasion, more and more people are choosing to give their loved ones personalised number plates. They’re a thoughtful way to celebrate someone’s unique personality — and their pride and joy on four wheels.
At Mr Plates, we’ve taken gifting up a gear with our premium gift box sets. Each one includes a set of personalised number plates and matching keyring — all neatly packaged and ready to impress. We also keep things smooth and simple at Mr Plates — with no complicated order forms. Just select the plate type, input the registration, and we’ll handle the rest.
The Mr Plates Gift Box: What’s Included?
Our premium gift box is the perfect finishing touch for any personalised number plate order. When selected at the Mr Plates checkout (for any of our standard range), this box includes:
- A matching mini keyring featuring your custom registration
- Added foam protection for extra peace of mind
- Free, fast delivery with speedy processing times.
The gift box itself is black with the Mr Plates logo printed on the lid, while the outer packaging is a discreet, non-branded brown box and bag — easy to wrap and hard to guess. Just choose the gift box option when ordering your number plate set, and we’ll take care of the rest.
Looking for a last minute gift? We offer fast turnaround and delivery. Standard orders are delivered within 3-4 working days. We also offer next-day delivery — and if you’re local to Nottingham, we can provide same-day collection if your plates are ordered before 2 pm.
Explore Our Personalised Number Plate Styles – There’s One for Every Type of Car Enthusiast
Printed Plates
Our printed number plates offer a clean, classic look with a crisp, high-quality finish. They’re fully road-legal, built to last, and ideal for everyday drivers who want their reg to look sharp.
3D Gel Plates
Sleek and stylish, these 3D gel plates feature raised, domed characters made from durable resin. They’re ideal for drivers who like a modern, premium look without shouting about it.
4D Plates
Laser-cut from chunky acrylic and built to last, 4D plates are bold and visually striking. They stand out from every angle and are perfect for drivers who treat their car like royalty. Available in both 3mm and 5mm raised depths, so you can tailor the look to suit their style.
5D Gel Plates
The ultimate hybrid: the shine of 3D gel meets the sculptural drama of 4D acrylic. With a deep, curved gloss finish and show-car vibes, these 5D gel plates are the crème de la crème of custom plates. A perfect gift for someone who lives for detail and loves their car to stand out.
Hex Plates
Inspired by Lamborghini’s iconic number plate styling, Hex Plates break the mould with distinctive cut-corner angles. Available in 3D gel, 4D, and 5D gel finishes, they deliver a bold, futuristic look — perfect for sports car enthusiasts who want their plates to turn heads.
What About the Road-Legal Stuff?
As a DVLA-registered number plate supplier, every road-legal plate we make is 100% compliant with UK laws and MOT standards. But just in case you’re curious — or trying to get creative — here’s a quick reminder of what you CANNOT include on DVLA personalised plates:
❌ Altered fonts, spacing, or backgrounds: Your reg must use standard sizes and styles, and there can’t be any background patterns or images — other than approved flags.
❌ Trickery with screws or tape: You can’t use screws, tape, or other methods to misrepresent letters or numbers on the plate. So, you can’t turn a “5” into an “S”.
❌ Registrations that mislead: You can’t use a reg that makes a vehicle appear newer.
Basically, if it’s cheeky, sneaky, or illegal — we don’t make it. But there’s still plenty of room to get creative and make something personal for the petrolhead in your life.
The Verdict: What’s the Best Gift for a Petrolhead?
A personalised number plate gift box from Mr Plates ticks all the boxes. It’s unique. It’s useful. And it will make a meaningful impression — both when they open it AND hit the road.
So whether the petrolhead in your life roars around in a souped-up sports car or dotes on their daily drive, a personalised number plate is a gift they’ll actually use — and seriously love. With styles for every taste and budget, all road-legal and beautifully boxed, it’s a surefire winner.
