Eleven ways people actually use a novelty title
The gift is the certificate. The fun is everything that happens afterwards.
At the table
Restaurant reservations are the runaway favourite. A booking under Lord Wellington gets read out loud, and the whole table enjoys it before the menus arrive.
At work
Leaving cards, promotion gifts and long-running office jokes. A framed certificate on a desk outlives every other novelty gift by several years.
- Leaving present for the person who ran everything
- Promotion gift with an unnecessary ceremony attached
- Secret Santa that people actually keep
At home
Wedding table plans, milestone birthdays, anniversary gifts and Christmas stockings. Gift mode lets you add a private message that appears on the certificate itself, which is what turns it from a joke into a keepsake.

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.
