A gift with a straight face and a wink

Make Me A Lord began with a simple observation: the best gifts are the ones people talk about for years. A courtesy title, done properly, is exactly that: absurd in the best way, and beautiful enough to frame.

So we treated the joke seriously. Every certificate is set in classical type, ruled with gold, sealed in wax and given a unique registry number. Nothing is auto-generated from a clipart template; each design was drawn to look like it belongs above a fireplace.

Your title is issued in minutes, entered into our registry, and given its own shareable page, so the moment can be enjoyed immediately and again at every family gathering thereafter.

What your title is, and isn't

Make Me A Lord issues personalised courtesy titles as gifts and keepsakes. They are a piece of fun rather than a British peerage, and they carry no legal standing or official recognition.

We are deliberately clear about this everywhere, because the gift is funnier when nobody has been misled.
