Tired of choosing gifts using the “eeny, meeny, miny, moe” process? We’re right there with you. It’salways a challenge to choose the right present for family and friends. You want it to be thoughtful. Youwant it to be unique. And most of all, you want it to be memorable. More often than not, the type of giftthat fits these three categories is a personalized one. According to Charles Dudley Warner, anAmerican novelist and friend of Mark Twain, “The excellence of a gift lies in its appropriateness ratherthan in its value.” We couldn’t agree more which is why we suggest giving personalized gifts.

Be in the know about personalized gift giving and why people love receiving them.

Personalizing is the art of making a “special gift,” extraordinary Anyone can buy a framed photograph for a loved one, but when you take time to choose photosthat represent their personality and style you are showing that person that you put a lot ofthought into the gift and took into account his/her interests with love.

If it’s personalized, 9 times out of 10 it will be used often Think of the last time you received a personalized gift…perhaps a mug with your child’s photo onit, or a hat or t-shirt embossed with your favorite quote…you get the idea. Did you use that item?More than likely you are shaking your head yes in agreement (It’s okay, we talk to ourcomputers, too). We all love to receive a gift that is truly unique to us.

Personalized gifts mean what’s “his is his” and what’s “hers is hers” Trust us, it is okay once in awhile to have a gift that is truly yours. Giving and receivingpersonalized gifts means a lot of thought and effort went into the process and it will be cherishedfor years to come.

 

So, now that you’re in the know about personalized gift giving, there is always an occasion to give aunique and personalized gift, such as:

• Wedding
• Anniversary
• New baby
• Housewarming
• Birthday
• Graduation
• Christmas
• Hanukkah

• Father’s Day
• Columbus Day (this one is a stretch, but you get the idea)
