It's sometimes really hard to think of the best gift to give your dad, brother, uncle, friend, work colleague, partner or husband for Christmas. But this is where personalising a gift comes into its own. As you can really hone in on their interests and even make it fun at the same time.Take my colleague in the office, his dad is an avid campervan enthusiast, and when asked,what his father would like for Christmas, my co-worker came up with the simple idea of a personalised mug, complete with photo of his dad working on said van, with the added words "Making Memories." It's such a simple idea and for a super reasonable cost, hones in on his father's passion for Van Life. There's the added versatility in the design process as my colleague wanted to use that decoration for the back of his mug, adding in a Santa festive hat layout for the front of the mug complete with the words "For Dad at Christmas." The TShirt Studio design system is so simple and ultimately flexible, in that you can choose not only different types of mug, but different coloured mugs, and personalise it further with the individual's font choice and preference for text colour. If a Santa Hat isn't your thing, there are also all manner of Christmas layouts available at TShirtStudio. Take the Rudolph the reindeer, Christmas tree, baubles, or wreath designs - all adaptable for your chosen words with or without a photo upload. We've previously touched on some ideas for Christmas captions also the simple notion of using a favourite line from a song on a personalised garment or gift. "All you need is Love" comes to mind - a classic Beatles song which embodies universality at Christmas. Great for a friend, family member, husband/partner. Probably a bit over the top for your golfing companion ! The song's words were written by John Lennon as part of the famous Lennon/McCartney partnership, and reached an audience of more than 500 million people in 25 countries as part of the first satellite global television link in 1967 called "Our World." It's always good to think of a present 'for him' which works as a snug addition to his wardrobe during the colder months around Christmas. A nice warm hoodie or jumper are ideas as is a custom cosy jacket. Some humour is always good at Christmas time, so the words "King" or "His nibs" are quite fun. Cooking could be his passion in which case a personalised apron is appropriate and we have Chef or Pizzeria specific logos. The caption "Cooking isn't just at Christmas" comes to mind ! Of course year round presents are also popular for gift giving at Christmas. A personalised sports gift or quality tshirt for example. People often plan holidays over Christmas so thinking forward, how about getting him a personalised golfing towel or a custom decorated baseball cap to shade him from the sun or a design your own coaster for his office table? Personalised gifts can bring so much joy, and show that the gift giver has taken the time and trouble to think forward taking the recipient's character into account. Designing your own personalised garment or gift is an innovative process and has rich rewards…… It's almost like creating a work of art !
Why personalising a value hoodie is a simple but special Christmas gift. It creates impact, costs less, and keeps you snuggly warm !
