It can be tough looking for that perfect gift for a treasured loved one. But nothing is more heartfelt than gifting him/her something personalised that you have placed careful thought in its selection process to make it truly unique! Here, we share with you several (actually functional) gift ideas that will surely show the recipient how much you care for him/her.
1. Custom mugs & cups
Mugs and cups are standard gifts that have been making numerous appearances at many a Secret Santa gift exchange since time immemorial. Either that, or it’s usually a last-minute gift choice for that friend whose birthday you only just remembered. A customised mug on the other hand tells a completely different story: you’ve planned this gift well in advance and are going the extra mile to make the necessary arrangements to have it engraved with the recipient’s name.
2. Personalised named coaster
These personalised name coasters would be perfect as a housewarming gift, a wedding favour or even for yourself. Select your choice of design, colour, font and voila – your very own drink coaster!
3. Embroidered jacket
Shopping centres, classrooms and even the office can get a little chilly so a cozy hooded jacket with the giftee’s initials embroidered on it would make for a very thoughtful gift! There are plenty of hoodies in varying shades of colours for sale in department stores but a hoodie with your initials embroidered on it? Much, much rarer.
4. Customised trinket tray
Chrome CustomDish (Heart)- Personalised Heart-Shaped Trinket Tray
For that friend who is always misplacing her keys or other small knick knacks, this customised trinket tray engraved with her name would be an awesome gift for her!
5. Bespoke accessories – clay earrings, hairpins etc
We all have that one friend who is obsessed with her furkid. Earrings/pins custom made to look just like their pets? They’ll love this thoughtful gift to bits! Oh Glorious Clay specialises in handcrafting accessories and little home decor items with clay and resin. No two items are alike because each item has been lovingly and individually handmade to suit the occasion and its recipients.
