About Aliyah Makes

Hi, I'm Aliyah — the hands (and the heart) behind Aliyah Makes.

It started with a Cricut, a heat press, and absolutely no plan — just a stubborn feeling that the things around us should be a little cuter. A few dozen pressed tumblers later, that feeling has turned into this shop: a full-blown love affair with making things that make people smile, all designed and made by me, one at a time, in my little Texas studio — usually with something warm to drink within arm's reach and at least one design idea I'm way too excited about.

I make the kind of things I want in my own life: cups that feel like a tiny escape into a lantern-lit street, notepads too pretty to leave blank (write on them anyway — that's what they're for), and stickers that turn a plain laptop into yours. Cozy, dreamy, a little whimsical — if it makes you do the happy gasp, it belongs here.

The best part of this job? Most of what I make starts as a gift. A tumbler for my dad. Something silly and perfect for my son. A little "saw this and thought of you" for a friend. When you order from this shop, that's the energy your package is made with — like it's going to someone I love. Because honestly, by the time I've designed it, pressed it, and wrapped it up, it kind of is.

Thanks for being here. Supporting a small shop means a real person does a real happy dance over your order — and I promise you, I do. Every single time.

— Aliyah 💜
