Thanks to websites like Esty and Zazzle, it’s incredibly easy to order one-of-a-kind gifts for that special someone’s big day. What’s great about customized gifts is not only that they show the recipient you were really thinking of them, but also that there are so many ways to make the gift special for the exact person or event. You can add things like the person’s name, a special date, a favorite quote or saying, even a photo. With so many design resources available online, you might even create a unique family crest to put on a gift item.
Here are some great gift ideas that are easy to customize for the person you love.
Books
Sites like Jibjab offer a terrific way to give the gift of reading and humor all in one. Their personalized story books allow you to add the face of the recipient and add other customizations that are fun and funny. Since their humor is clean, Jibjab’s books are appropriate for all ages and the people in your workplace.
Photo Frames
There are two ways to create personalized picture frames. You can have a classic frame engraved or painted with the name, date, or saying of your choice to accompany the printed photo you want to highlight. You can also load digital photos into electronic photo frames. Some even allow you to update the photos remotely, so you can keep the pictures fresh and ever-changing from anywhere with wifi.
Puzzles
Double the gift with a tailor-made puzzle. Choose a photo that will delight the person to whom you are giving the gift. Then, have it made into a puzzle they can enjoy assembling and then keep or even frame as a memento.
Jewelry
If you are making the investment to purchase a quality jewelry item as a gift, consider taking the extra step of adding some customization. Whether you go all in and design the entire piece, or you simply add a discrete engraving to the back of something already made, the person receiving your generosity will feel all the more special knowing that that particular item is truly one-of-a-kind.
Dessert
Everyone knows the classic birthday cake with the ornate piping and cheerful happy birthday message written on top. Think outside the gift box with a personalized dessert. Most bakeries can make a wide range of cookies, pies, patisseries, and other desserts. If you order ahead, they are typically able to add whatever name or words you want in chocolate, candy, or pie crust. Imagine their surprise when they open the pastry box to find their favorite Boston cream pie with their name spelled out in white chocolate. They’ll know it was no off the shelf, a quickie purchase, but rather something you made an effort to do for them.
Decks of Cards
For the game lover in your life, look into custom made playing cards. You’ll have them looking and feeling like a card shark in no time.
Sports Jerseys
A classic and charming option is the customized sports jersey. When you buy a jersey off the rack, you may be stuck with the name of a player who leaves the team, retires, or even does something disgraceful. Basically, the jersey can look really outdated pretty easily. However, getting a jersey with the fan’s own name on it will never be obsolete. For anyone truly mad for their favorite sports team, it’s a unique gift that will definitely be worn with joy.
Monogrammed Towels
Speaking of classics, monogrammed towels are a bit of a throw-back. However, they are quintessential for a reason. They are timeless, beautiful, and useful. For kids heading off to college, they ensure that there is no mix up about whose towel it is. For married couples, it’s a sweet thing to hang in their bathroom. For anyone else, it just adds a bit of old-fashioned good taste to the powder room.
Welcome Mat
Similar to the towels, it’s nice to give a gift that makes a house feel like a home. To be a home, someone has to live there and claim it as their own. A customized welcome mat can say something clever or can just offer a little hospitality by offering the name of the folks who live there. Either way, a customized welcome mat adds warmth and charm to their doorstep.
