5 Tips on Choosing the Perfect Personalized Gift

When the air turns chilly and families start pulling out decorations, it's time to start holiday shopping! If your list includes personalized gifts, then read on for 5 tips to help you choose the perfect gift for your loved one this holiday season! 

Tip #1: Plan Ahead 

Last-minute shopping can sometimes be inevitable around the holidays. But when it comes to personalized gifts, rushing out at the last moment is never the best option. Personalized gifts are truly one-of-a-kind and often require ordering several days or even weeks to create and ship and you don't want them to arrive after the big day! 

Tip #2: Choose Your Wording Carefully 

Spend time thinking about what you'd like your gift to say. Choose wording that means something special to both of you and convey the sentiment more beautifully than a typical store-bought gift ever could! Just remember to keep character limits in mind. 

Tip #3: Color is Important 

 The color of your gift can set the entire tone for your message. It should complement the print by helping it to stand out enough that it's noticeable but not jarring or overwhelming. 

Tip #4: Keep Size in Mind 

It's all about the presentation. Even if you choose something with amazing color, wording and sentiment, it will fall flat if it ends up being too small or too big because you didn't double-check the sizing details. 

Tip #5: Don't Be Afraid to Use Photos 

Incorporating photos can make for a truly special gift. However, you must make sure that the image is high quality. Low resolution translates into grainy photos, and you don't want to worry about that happening with such a thoughtful present.  

Now that you have these tips at your disposal, it’s to shop. From custom drinkware to wall décor, the possibilities are endless!
