Nothing makes the soul rejoice like the happy smile of a loved one ... Except, of course, shouts of delight! Meanwhile, picking up a personal gift is quite difficult - each person has his own tastes. In order to better navigate the exuberant variety of ideas and gifts, you should know in advance about the most popular variations of gifts for family, friends and just loved ones.
It is personal gifts that evoke the most emotions.
My beloved name ...
Among the ideas dominating the Internet, personalized gifts for men and personalized gifts for women are very popular. And this is a completely objective trend, because even Dale Carnegie pointed out that for a person there is no more pleasant sound than the sound of his own name. At the same time, individual gifts can be conditionally divided into several groups:
- office;
- souvenirs;
- clothes and accessories;
- household items.
However, it is necessary to choose a group solely based on the interests of the recipient.
Office
In the category of stationery, which can be considered as a personalized gift, there are many interesting ideas for rulers, pens, pencils, pencil cases, boxes for storing stationery, etc. For example:
- Exquisite finely crafted engraved pen in the form of initials is suitable as a personalized gift for a business man. The cost of such a pen, despite its external wealth and exclusive design, may not hurt your pocketbook if you order it from a trusted company.

- Pencil case with your favorite superhero for a couple with a growing birthday boy... Among the individual stationery, there are different options that will appeal to your beloved son. Now it is not difficult to creative, combine in Photoshop a portrait of a son and his beloved hero in an epic battle scene.
- Box for brushes and paints decorated with a photo of a girl in the form of a cute princess or a frame from your favorite cartoon. A daughter with artistic talents will appreciate the new set in her honor.
In a word, there is where to roam and among the advantages of the products we can single out practicality, low price, individuality and a large field for imagination, a wide selection of service providers.
Among the shortcomings, it stands out that not everyone uses office supplies. For example, a pencil case or a ruler is unlikely to suit a housewife as an individual gift for a woman, and a pen with monograms will probably not be useful for an athlete's brother. When choosing this category of gifts, you should take this into account and approach the choice wisely.

Souvenirs
Another popular group of personalized gifts are “keepsakes” or souvenirs. Souvenir products have a wide audience reach and include individual gifts for storage on the table (both kitchen and work), in the closet, on the nightstands and even hanging from the ceiling! In terms of its variety, souvenir products occupy an honorable first place. For example:
- A star from the sky. A romantic personalized gift for a woman who cannot take her eyes off the starry sky. The birthday girl is presented with a real personal star, or rather, a certificate confirming that one of the recently discovered stars in the sky is named in her honor.
- Themed home decorations. For example, a sister who is fond of the culture of ancient China will be interested in antique stylized dragon watch and her own name in the form of a hieroglyphic inscription, or a large fan in oriental style... The hunter can be given a souvenir hunting knife with engraving.

Among the budget options for personalized souvenirs stand out: various cartoon figurines, portraits и photos in beautiful frames, collages, panel, memorable date magnets and heroes of the occasion, key ringsthat are decorated with initials, wishes or favorite quotes from books, films, stories or poems.
More expensive presentations are more personalized. So, for example, it stands out among others:
- samurai sword set for the lover of Japan;
- Hollywood star for a media person or just a person suffering from "star fever";
- an expensive leather-bound book autographed by the author;
- porcelain or crystal service.
The advantages of personalized souvenir products are:
- A wide selection for all occasions: personalized gifts for parents, nice little things for children, gifts for colleagues and boss, for a wedding anniversary for a husband, for a birthday for a wife, etc.;
- A high degree of personification of the gift for the tastes of the hero of the occasion or the style of the company;
- Different price category of gifts from extremely expensive to compact and modest options;
- Long shelf life presentation.
A good example of a budget personalized gift.
Among the disadvantages of this type, one can single out that souvenir products, apart from aesthetic pleasure and interior decoration, have no other function, and therefore not everyone is loyal to it.

Apparel
Clothing is definitely one of the most sought after items on the market. And, of course, among gift products, various types of clothing and accessories are no less popular. Among the things that can be worn in personalized products include:
- T-shirts. As a personalized birthday present for a man, women more often give T-shirts with a joint portrait or an unusual inscription, a quote, a man's life motto, as well as cute confessions or provocative slogans. In addition to some banal indications of the name, surname and various popular phrases, you can find very interesting copies of T-shirts with which you can hint to your beloved about his shortcomings and at the same time not offend male pride. For example, a T-shirt with a print in the shape of a child with a mug of beer on the belly and the inscription “We are waiting for replenishment” is suitable for these purposes. A similar T-shirt, but with a slightly different print, can serve as a personal present for a wife expecting a baby.
So that you never forget about your wife.
- Bathrobes. Embroidered initials or even a family coat of arms will make you look differently at the usual household things.
- Beautiful underwear... Suitable for more intimate than friendships or as a joke. These things can be decorated with either initials or a funny inscription that will emphasize the light character of the giver or receiver.
However, you should be wary of such provocative gifts, because if one man can laugh with you and take a hint, then the other may be offended.
Additionally, when choosing clothes, one should take into account tastes not only about the pattern, lettering and shape of the fabric, but also about the fabric itself from which the clothes are made, because some like soft fabrics, like cotton and silk, while others are more coarse.
The choice of inscriptions should be especially attentive.
Decoration
Named jewelry looks especially interesting, which are often made strictly according to the customer and can be made in the form of paired pendants or rings. Which will be great, for example, as a personalized gift for a brother and sister. Such courtesies are made in metal, wood, epoxy or UV resin and have completely different characteristics.
Metal jewelry can be made in silver, gold, steel, copper, aluminum and differ primarily in price. Gold and silver are the most expensive and at the same time the richest, and aluminum, copper and steel jewelry are cheaper and more suitable as a pleasant trifle for a couple at the beginning of a relationship or as a gift for a child.
On a note! It is believed that silver jewelry has a disinfecting effect, and gold jewelry rejuvenates and helps to maintain the elasticity of the wearer's skin due to the penetration of metal particles through the skin.
Although there is no extensive research on this topic and this fact is more likely folk wisdom, a beautiful pendant or earrings will already cheer you up, and a good mood is a guarantee of youth and longevity.
Important! Some people have an intolerance to noble or, conversely, base metals, and therefore you should carefully look at the jewelry that the recipient usually wears.

Wooden jewelry is the most environmentally friendly and at the same time suitable for most people, they are hypoallergenic and rarely cause a negative reaction in the body. Resin decorations have the same properties, but unlike wood, they are extremely sensitive to high temperatures. Meanwhile, personalized jewelry can be especially artistic:
- Crystal decoration, on one face of which the name or initials of the birthday person will be carved. It will go as a personalized gift to your beloved man or a personal present to your wife.
- Name watch can be a good present for colleagues and the boss and emphasize the business spirit of the giver. The master will make an inscription with a wish and initials, both on the back of the watch or on the strap on the outside, and right on the inside, on the dial. You can make an inscription with a phosphor, and it will glow in the dark with a soft light.
- Name cufflinks with initials or tie holder will be a pleasant addition to the business style for a man. On such accessories, not only initials, but also the family coat of arms can be displayed.

However, here it is worth considering that most of the accessories from the business group are quite expensive, and putting initials on them is a painstaking job.
Among the advantages of an individual gift in the form of jewelry and accessories, one can single out practicality, aesthetics, a different emotional message and a high semantic load, a wide range of prices.
There are not many disadvantages to such gifts. For example, the recipient may not perceive the drawing or inscription on the object, or the format of the gift itself. Some jewelry can cause skin irritation and allergic reactions.
Work and household items
Household items include things that are necessary for a person in his workplace somewhere in the office, and in the house, if a present is presented to a housewife. This group of gifts is strictly individual and is suitable for those who know exactly about the host's hobbies and work area. For example, you can donate:
- calendar or beautiful notebook;
- sketch-book;
- Stand for the office;
- creative needle bed;
- interesting mug;
- beautiful cutting board;
- dishes and even panon which names and wishes can be engraved.

In addition to practicality and aesthetic qualities, among the advantages of such gifts are the expression of interest in a loved one's business or a semantic message for a colleague.
The only drawback here can be called a high risk of making a mistake with a hobby or field of activity, if you are not familiar enough with the person.
The most important features
Whatever the gift, it should be remembered that the main thing in it is attention. Even the most beautiful gift may not be necessary if you do not think about a person as a person and individuality, and even ordinary socks can cause indescribable delight. Choosing a gift should be individually tailored to the tastes, beliefs and desires of a particular person. So that he never forgot who gave him joy and realized his peculiarity, individuality. And in order for him to more accurately understand the message and meaning of the gift, you can create a personal, unique personalized gift on which to express your thoughts, feelings, engrave initials, family coat of arms, name, memorable date and thus leave a memory of yourself for life. It should only be remembered that the gift should always be special.
