The gift-giving season is upon us! A lot of times we have trouble with what to get everyone. We research someone’s style, their needs or wants, and sometimes just flat out ask them. Then at the last minute we end up just getting the inevitable gift card. It’s too bad that creativity so often takes a backseat. Don’t let this year be a dud. We have some ideas on how you can be the best gift giver this season going forward!
Why Personalized Gifts are the Best
It all comes down to being meaningful. When a personal gift is given, it not only brings the receiver joy but also the giver. It shows you really put thought into it. Personalized gifts rarely get tossed or given away. They usually turn into keepsakes that you can pass down through the generations. Think of it as an item upgrade! On one end you have a plain item like an ornament, but on the other you have items that mean something special, like an ornament with your child’s face on it. Which one would you rather give and receive?
Personalized Gift Giving Ideas
We have some great personalized gift ideas that will have everyone wanting their name to be the one you pull for Secret Santa!
Pictures Printed on Something Special
Pictures alone can be special, but what if it wasn’t just framed or canvased, but printed on a piece of a log?! That’s just what we at Cincy Photo Pro where able to do for one couple. It’s a gift that will be cherished forever.
Pictures can go on almost anything, a shirt, jewelry, luggage tags, you name it! It can make a functional gift a lot more fun. Admit it, you know you’d rather use a mug with your pet’s face on it than a plain old boring one!
Engraved Memories
Pictures can be printed on items, but did you know they can also be engraved? Check out this engraving of a dog on a trivet. The owner had just lost their dog and this engraving will give them fond memories every time they see it.
The engraving doesn’t have to be a picture. Names, dates, and sayings are a very popular customizable choice! You can take a piece of jewelry or a paperweight and turn it into something special.
Personalized Ornaments
Ornaments can be a dime a dozen in authenticity and thoughtfulness, but when you add a photo and date to it, you have something special there! It’s an item everyone in your family will enjoy seeing during a time that can be stressful for so many.
Signage that Defines You
Quotes and sayings adorning our walls have become a very popular décor item in recent years. You can definitely purchase a common one from the store, but what about a custom-made sign with your family name on it or business name you can hang on your office wall? Something like that will be hung with pride and distinguishment for a lifetime.
Bottom Line
Whether it may be for Christmas, a birthday, or a housewarming present, personalized gifts are the way to go. It adds a unique and special touch that will never go out of style. They tell the receiver you really care. Giving this type of gift will also make you feel really fulfilled. It’s effort that is worth its weight in happiness!
