Engraving photo into crystal - anyone seen this anywhere?

Savvy_Sue

There used to be a kiosk in the Bluewater Shopping Centre where you could get a photo engraved into a block of crystal (or acrylic or something!) which we used for the in-laws' golden wedding anniversary.

And now I want to use it again, and of course it's not there any more.

Ideally I'd like this by Christmas, so the online places are difficult because a) they're not guaranteed and b) one I looked at seemed to be insisting on cropping a lovely rectangular wedding couple into a square, which is NOT what I want!

SO, has anyone seen anywhere doing this recently? I can get myself or a sibling to Reading (if needs must!), Cardiff, Bristol, Oxford, Cambridge and Wigan / Liverpool / Manchester, and to SE and Central London, or anywhere near any of those places. If they had a kiosk at that new shopping centre out in west London, I'm sure I could get someone over there too ... Actually right now I'd be prepared to send someone almost anywhere!

My sister did one of those for our parents at Madame Tussaud's, you might give that a try.
I haven't seen it anywhere else.

My OH works for a company that does just this and could guarantee this for Christmas if you could mail them the pic.

I will PM you the details (not sure if I am allowed to post them on here)

Thank you both, I have gone for the online option to save BIL having to trek across to Madame Tussauds and the risk of it still not being possible, I have been promised it for Monday and I am just SO grateful, and wondering why I didn't ask you lot a couple of days ago, it would have saved me a lot of stress!

Just popping by to say that the crystal arrived yesterday, and it is perfect. I shall probably cry when I give it to Mum tomorrow.

Thank you Lisburn Crystal.

I suggest you look on their website and give them a call. I have no connection with them, btw, just one very satisfied customer, because I only placed the order on Thursday and had it on Tuesday, which at this time of year is very good going, and I really really REALLY needed it before Christmas Eve.
