5 Unforgettable Personalized Gift Ideas

Personalized gifts you can make yourself to give to someone special who will never forget your creativity and thoughtfulness include: picture frames, some colorful crafts, a personalized towel or cap, a calendar, or a multipurpose box.

Are you tired of giving store bought presents every time a gift giving occasion approaches? A perfect alternative is a personalized present. Not only will it unleash your creativity, it can help you save money as well. To come up with a personalized gift, we offer you the following suggestions:

Create your own picture frame

One of the most common personalized gift ideas is making a personalized picture frame. You will need an inexpensive picture frame that you can work with. You may insert a personal message, like a self-written poem, on one of the frames and place a very meaningful photograph in the other frame. To embellish the frame itself, add beads, paper, and other colorful accessories to make it look more appealing and creative.

Make colorful crafts

The easiest forms of personalized gifts are colorful crafts. You can paint any pottery with your desired colors. Check your local pottery store to help you come up with a design. You can also make clever designs on a serving platter and paint the date and the name of the event for it to be remembered. Other crafts you can work on are coffee mugs, personalized Christmas decors and other ceramic products.

Create personalized towels

You can personalize towels, sports caps, aprons, or other gifts made from cloth. You can buy some iron-on transfer paper then design it with the assistance of a computer program. After coming up with a creative design, be careful in transferring it on the towel or cap with an iron.

Make your own calendar

A perfect gift for the New Year is to create your own photo calendar and a photo book. There are some websites that can assist you with this. Upload different photographs of your choices like nature pictures, celebrities, or city skylines to make your calendar. Make your gift even more personalize by using photos of family and friends from throughout the year. Choose your desired layout or design, insert some cool captions, and then send your item to print. Preview your calendar preview before finishing it.

Make a multipurpose box

Make a wonderful box that the recipient can use to keep office or school items. A shoebox in good condition may do. You can use attractive patterns as decorations. Your recipient will love having a special place for items like markers, pencils, notepads, pins and many more similar supplies.

Other than saving money and showcasing talent and creativity, giving a personalized gift will be more meaningful to both you and the person receiving it. The phrase "it's always the thought that counts" will have more meaning when you create your own gift.
