In recent years, personalised gifts have become a big business, with the selection of choice continually growing. As the demand for customised items increases, ideas and techniques become both more creative and more sophisticated. Conversely, personalised gifts are also becoming more affordable and accessible to the average person, due to the booming online market.
Personally, I feel there is nothing more priceless than treating your loved ones to a gift that has shown some thoughtfulness and consideration when choosing that special present. Receiving an item that’s been embossed with our name allows us to experience a unique feeling of ownership and recognition that an off-the-shelf present just can’t recreate.
The saying ‘it’s the thought that counts’ certainly applies when it comes to personalised gift-giving. They have many advantages and here are a few that come to mind:
Bonding Over Personal Memories
Putting time into creating something personal, and often thinking back through happy memories while doing so, can be a fun process. A personalised gift also shows how well you know someone, and that you have gone out your way to make sure the gift is something they will love and treasure, this can strengthen the existing relationships while initiating to build some new ones with its evoking, nostalgia-stricken touch. Going the extra mile for your loved ones makes a gift more unique and appealing than other gifts.
Versatility
As personalised gifts are not occasion-orientated they are able to fit every and any occasion, ranging from birthday, birth, and anniversary to a get well or graduation occasion. Marking the most important life events.
Suitable For All
Regardless of any age, gender, or relations a personalised gift is suitable for anyone, giving a memorable gift they can treasure forever.
Feeling valued
Personalised gifts make us feel valued and special. As the buying process is two-fold (first choosing the gift itself then adding the personalised element) allows us to appreciate the fact that the sender has gone above and beyond the norm to truly delight us with something unique. This also avoids a situation where you end up buying the same gift as someone else!
The practice of gift personalisation in the UK is nothing new. It can be traced as far back as the Middle Ages when artisans and craftsmen begin to add their initials or a unique symbol to skilled work to identify it as their own. This was known as monogramming when an individual’s initials are added to portable or precious belongings to prove their ownership.
It wasn’t until the Renaissance period that people regularly began to personalise gifts with touching words, to add sentimental value. This began with inscriptions on engagement, wedding and memorial rings and progressed to marking items like pocket watches, clocks, and lockets. As the inscription is usually hidden away, it’s experienced as a secret, shared message – both a permanent and private way of expressing treasured thoughts.
Today, bespoke personalisation is mainstream offering a range of more affordable, imaginative, and creative choices. So, whether you are looking for gifts for him or gifts for her, a personalised present will make a perfect choice every time.
