Personalized Gift Creations
You’ve given gifts, hundreds of them, maybe thousands. But now you want to give a gift that stands out, something personalized, something that says, “I know you well.”
A personalized gift creation is one of the most meaningful gifts you can give anyone. It tells the recipient that you care about them and took the time to make the gift about them.
But personalized gift creations can be a little tricky. You want to be sincere and direct, but a tacky homemade gift or a keychain that just happens to say “Chad” don’t really send a good gifting message, personalized though they might be.
There’s one way to personalize that will almost always work: photos. If you have photos of someone or of something meaningful to the recipient (especially in you and the recipient are in the shots together), they can be the centerpiece of an ideal personalized gift creation. From there, the door is open: Maybe you make or buy a special frame, or emblazon the photo on a coffee mug, or build a unique scrap book.
Consider engraving or monogramming as a way to give your recipient something meaningful. Any jeweler can do simple engraving, and a tailor can monogram.
Tons of stores specialize in making personalized gifts and clothing, with Web sites ranging from personalizationmall.com and giftsforyounow.com to agiftpersonalized.com and memorablegifts.com. Many offline stores will personalize gifts as well.
Making a gift yourself is another way to personalize, especially if you have a deft hand in arts and crafts. Again, mixing in photos adds an extra personal touch. But unless you’re young enough to get away with a botch job, you should make sure you’re able to build something competent before you give anything to the person you care about.
