'It's 100% the best Christmas present I ever got - it's the gift that keeps on giving. I never imagined it would get to this point.'

A 17-year-old teenager from Lancashire is making nearly £15,000 a month with his personalised sticker business - thanks to a craft kit he got for Christmas from his mum.

Caelan's best seller this Christmas is a bauble featuring personalised angel wings, and last year it was snow globe tumblers. The lad - who works 16 hour days six days a week - is on track to make £100,000 worth of sales by the end of the financial year, he says. "In June I thought 'I'll just give it a try', and it's gone crazy. Now I'm so busy I hardly ever stop.

"By June he had a really clear idea of what he wanted to do so we took some advice and I thought it was worth letting him try. He's always been entrepreneurial. He's great at selling, and listening and responding to his customers, and knowing what's on trend.Caelan said he had a tough time at school and struggled with mental health but found arts and crafts therapeutic. He got his Cricut machine from Hobbycraft for Christmas in 2022.

Sales picked up so much in 2024 that Caelan left college in June. He invested another £30,000 in two more huge printers - up 2m wide - in November 2024, one of which allows him to print onto clothes.
