Personalized Gifts

Giving a personalized gift shows you've put a lot of thought into your gift.  You didn't just happen upon a sale and decided that would do for the person.  Instead you had to think of what you would put on the gift to make it personal.  I remember when I was young buying a necklace with a small gold heart and having the initials of the person I was giving it to engraved on it.  There weren't very many choices for personalized gifts--a monogrammed towel, engraved jewelry or embroider a name on something.  Today there are many choices for personalizing a gift, so if you have thought of giving a personalized gift this year, here is a chance to save $10 on a $35 purchase.

Gift Ideas on Sale

This year I've encountered a lot of sales.  Sometimes they are for a few days and sometimes only a few hours.  I am thinking it would be nice to share the sales information when I find it, so I want to post sales when I find them here.  Hopefully it will be of help to you in getting some of the gifts you want for your family and friends and staying within your budget.

St. Patrick's Day Gifts

St. Patrick's Day is not a big gift-giving day, but you may want to give a St. Patrick's Day gift because a birthday or an anniversary is on or close to the day or just because you want to give a fun gift.  While working on fractal art designs I came up with some designs that reminded me of four leaf clovers.  I thought they would be fun for St. Patrick's Day so I created some products with the designs. After all, everyone has to have something green to wear on St. Patrick's Day.

Lucky Clovers for St. Patrick's Day

Shamrocks, three leaf clovers and four leaf clovers are very much a part of a St. Patrick's Day celebration.  Four leaf clovers are considered lucky.  You are lucky if you find a four leaf clover since three leaf clovers outnumber them by 10,000 to one.  If you wear green on St. Patrick's Day, you are lucky as you avoid being pinched for not wearing green.  If you need a gift for someone for St. Patrick's Day or if you want to have something unique to wear for St. Patrick's Day you may want to check out these designs. 

Give a Gift of Portable Music

I wanted to learn to play the piano when I was young, but we didn't have a piano.  A friend tried to teach me to play a little bit, but I had no piano to practice on so that didn't go very far.  Electric piano keyboards seemed like a good idea although many of them do not have full size keys so they are not quite like a regular piano.  Then I came across roll-up piano keyboards.  They have full size keys.  They roll up to a compact size.  Many run on batteries but some have an AC adapter.  They usually have headphones so your music won't disturb others.  Some will connect to a computer, and your music can be saved on your computer.  They are relatively inexpensive so almost anyone who wanted a piano could have one.

Do you have a family member or friend who loves to create music?  A roll-up piano might be just the gift for them.  It is afforable.  It is like playing a regular piano.  It is portable and can be taken easily with you wherever you go.  It can keep your music private.  It can record and may save your music on your computer.  If you want to give a portable gift of music consider a  roll up piano.

Gifts of Love

Gifts of Love

Valentine's Day is a time to say, "I love you."  A heart-themed gift is a great Valentine's gift.  A gift can be useful or just beautiful to look at, but as long as it has a love theme it will make a great Valentine's gift.  Giving a gift that can be customized with a name or with a saying of your own can make that gift memorable and one that will be treasured.  So whether you are wishing a Happy Valentine's Day or want to show your love one any other occasion consider a unique, customizable, heart-themed gift like these shown in the video in the next post.

Blue and Orange Fractal Art Encircled Heart Stickers from Zazzle.com

I have been creating products on Zazzle.com with fractal art designs I have made. I love fractal art, and I've picked the best designs to create products from. I posted some heart designs especially for Valentine's Day, and suddenly I was getting emails with comments having been posted on Zazzle.com that congratulated me on Today's Best Award. I didn't even know there was such an award, but I was very honored to have received it.

Give a Memorable Valentine's Day Gift

Valentine's Day is a time when you want to express your love with a gift.  That gift may be as simple as a card or flowers or it may be a gift that keeps reminding the one you love of your love.  Whatever you give should be something you feel will be appreciated by the recipient.  If you give a card, you may want to personalize it with a photo or a drawing or with a poem or a personal expression of your love.  If you give food, you want to give a kind of food your loved one really enjoys.  Other gifts can be personalized with photos, names, and personal messages.  Any gift should be selected with the recipient's likes, dislikes, talents and needs in mind.  Giving a unique gift lets the recipient know they are one-of-a-kind and deserving of something special.  If you want more gift ideas, look here.
