Personalize It!
When it comes to gifts, the more personal the better. A personalized gift not only shows how well you know someone, it lets them know that you care enough to find a gift that fits them perfectly. And, after all, isn't that what gift giving is all about?
For the fisherman (or woman) in your life, how about a t-shirt or mug that declares them an official fish magnet? Both can be personalized with a name or nickname. The t-shirt is comfy and perfect for fishing and the ceramic mug is sturdy enough to go from kitchen to boat and back again. The Hooked On Fishing mug is just as rugged. It's microwavable and dishwasher safe and can be personalized with up to 20 characters. Great for uncles, aunts, grandparents or even fishing teams. My favorite gift for anglers is this laser wooden frame that says, "when the going gets tough _______ goes fishing." It holds a 4" x 6" photo and it's great for proudly displaying that magic moment when fishing actually turns into catching!
One of the great things about personalizing gifts, is adding a touch of humor. I have a friend who is a golf fanatic, but she's the first to admit she doesn't play very well--yet. She's known for losing balls in the water or hitting them so far into the rough that she can't find them. So, golf balls are always a good gift for her, but this"takes a lot of balls" mug is even better. The tongue-in-cheek humor is aimed at men, but I think it's equally funny for women. Or your favorite golfer can hit the links in a "swingers club" t-shirt. It can be personalized with up to 20 characters and it's 100% cotton, so it's comfortable for an 18-hole afternoon or just kicking around the house. Finally, put the golfer in your life in the top ten on The Tour with this ceramic mug that lists them as the second best golfer in the world, right under Tiger Woods! But mugs and t-shirts aren't the only gifts you can personalize. These Disney© car mats are perfect for collectors. Choose Mickey Mouse or Tinkerbell and then personalize them with the same name on both mats or different names for passenger and driver. These US made mats are constructed of durable PVC vinyl that is easy to care for and the designs are molded right in, so they won't chip or fade.
For the home, my two favorite picks are the pub tumblers and coasters and the Las Vegas sign print. The set of 4 glass tumblers holds a pint of your favorite frothy beverage and the traditional pub coasters are made of heavy-duty paper board and printed with moisture resistant ink, which means you can use them over and over again. For the would-be lounge lizard in your life, this print puts their name right below the world famous "Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas" sign. It comes in a very nice wooden frame and is perfect for hanging in a home bar, a bedroom or an office.
Because these gifts are so personal, it takes a little extra time to make them. So remember to choose a gift early so it will arrive in time for that special someone's birthday or other occasion.
