When it comes to gift-giving, anyone can purchase an item right off the shelf that would be appropriate for the recipient’s style and taste. However, if you want to take your gift to the next level, consider personalizing it for the recipient. With a personalised gift, the recipient will know that the item was made with them in mind, and there will be none other like it in the world.
To personalize a gift, you must know a few things about the recipient, the occasion, and what will appeal
to them. You want to give a one-of-a-kind gift that is practical and useful. Therefore, it’s best to keep the recipient’s personality in mind when personalizing a gift.
Here are a few inspirational ideas to get you started:
-
A joke that only the two of you understand, it might be from when you’ve met or the relationship that you have, or just something that happened that only the two of you understand or know about.
-
A quote that they say all the time, so much that it becomes a part of their character, and you know that they’d appreciate the humour
-
A quote from a movie/ song/ video game that they love and admire
-
Inspirational quote based on challenges or dreams they currently have, be it a new home/ job/ relationship or goal
-
A few wise or playful words regarding the occasion in their life, be it their birthday, wedding or anniversary.
-
Personalizing the gift with their name and unique character traits.
Aside from the personalisation do also look at the style of the gift, that it fits their taste and personal aesthetic, can you see them using it. If it is for use in the home does it fit in or clash with their décor?
Ideally whatever you get them, whether it’s a personalised mug, keyring, wall art, travel mug, water bottle or cushion, there are endless items that can be personalised.
Whatever you choose and however you choose to personalise it, they’ll know that it came from the heart, made with them in mind, and will cherish it and your sentiments every time they use it.
