Personalise - to endow with personal or individual qualities or characteristics.

Your thoughts & ideas are my inspiration. The creative process begins with you. You could suggest a general theme: place, colours, element, time of year, broad area of interest. Perhaps there is something very specific which brings the individual to mind such as an animal, symbol, sport, pattern, object. . . .

The possibilities are only limited by the function of the urn.
