When we buy gifts, we want to make sure that they are really what the other person wants. We want to make sure that they know how much they mean to us, how happy they make us, or just that we are thinking of them.
Personalised gifts allow us to give them something that is just for them. Although the gift itself might be something ordinary, like a cup or a plate, they can also be extraordinary, like watches, necklaces and other stuff.
Brands like Private Plates make many of the hottest personalised gift lists – and with good reason. People love to get something that is just for them.
So why should your next gift be something personalised? Here are a few reasons.
It’s thoughtful
If you want to make sure that the person knows that you have been thinking about them, then personalised gifts can do that. Since personalised gifts often need to be ordered weeks in advance, it means that you have been thinking about them long before the day itself.
It takes more time and effort to order a gift that has names, dates, engraving, or a piece of art that is custom made.
You have carefully selected a place, ordered it and waited for delivery – that shows how much time you have put in.
But it’s not about you!
If you have chosen something in their favourite brand, colours, taste or other – it shows that you have listened to them, carefully thought about them.
It’s easy to get flowers, chocolates and other stuff that’s in the store – and they do make great gifts, but the thought behind something personalised is more.
Unique
There are lots of experiences, gifts and others that state they are one of a kind – but most often if you have the time or the money, they are not one-of-a-kind at all. To give something truly unique, getting it personalised is the best way.
The likelihood of something having the same story, name, date of birth, and time is very slim.
When a gift is personalised, it becomes unique; it is only for that one person.
As a bonus, personalised things hold such little value for other people that it is less likely to be stolen.
Forever
It is hard to deny that some gifts are fleeting. Flowers will die and need to be put out – no matter how beautiful they are. Chocolates get eaten, and meals out only last a small amount of time.
But when you give a gift that is personalised and not edible, it is something that you can keep forever.
If you choose to give the giftee something like a piece of artwork with their birth coordinates, or perhaps a newspaper from the day they were born – that is something that will always have a story behind it.
What is more, is that these types of gifts can be handed down through their family. They can leave these personalised gifts to their children and so on.
Personalised gifts last forever.
Creative
There are certain times of the year when we are expected to give gifts or receive them. Christmas, birthdays, Mother’s and Father’s Day, births, marriages, etc. Not to mention the day of love, Valentine’s day!
It can get a little boring to keep getting the same gifts every year – especially when they’re all with great intentions.
But with personalised gifts, you can get as creative as you like. Jumpers knitted with their own face on, cushions made from old jumpers of loved ones, jewellery and more.
Although you can still get chocolate bars and cakes with names on them, getting something personalised means that you can think outside the box for a little bit.
If you want to get extra creative, you can spend some time learning how to make the items yourself – bonus points for learning a new skill too!
Versatile
If you were to think about anyone in your family or friends group right now, you could probably think of a gift that can be personalised for them.
Tech addicts will love personalised cases and cables or sticker sets designed for their tech gadgets. For those who love jewellery and have children, there are necklaces and bracelets, rings and even earrings that can have the names or birthdays of their children on them.
Birthstones in jewellery have been popular for many years, but you can make it even more personal with the addition of engraving.
Personal Relationships
Often one of the things we overlook is that personalised items celebrate special personal relationships. When you choose an item that has space for multiple birthdays, gems, names, colours and more, you allow taking into account so many different relationships – not just yours with the recipient.
Anytime
Almost any occasion you can think of is ideal for personalised gifts. Since they are typically something a little bit special, they are well received, and much enjoyed and worked for any occasion.
75th birthday? No problem. The first baby has been born? Hand Stitched personalised blankets are perfect and something that they’ll keep as the child grows.
Personalised gifts are the ideal way to make almost every type of occasion.
The most important thing that you should remember is that if you want to give something personalised, you should make sure you leave plenty of time for it to be created. They often take a short while! And triple-check that you have input the right spelling and dates – it’s very easy to make a typo and not notice until it arrives.
Once you have picked the perfect gift, there are a few finishing touches that you should consider a card that compliments the occasion and the gift you have the gift. And the wrapping.
Gift wrapping can be the downfall of many; try as you might, you can’t get the corners neat and end up putting the gift in a bag. Here are some tips for making sure that the outside of the gift is as stunning as the middle – How To Make Your Gifts Look Amazing – Tidylife.
