Ditch Traditional Gift Giving - Buy Personalized Gifts

Friday, April 6, 2007

If you are giving gift to someone who is celebrating his birthday or to a couple on their wedding day, chances are, you are in a dilemma looking for a gift that is special, unique and one that will please the recipient. Traditional gift giving will have you thinking about giving books, clothing or jewelry to a friend who is celebrating his special day. You might be also thinking about giving dining sets to a couple who has invited you to come to their wedding event. These gift ideas, however, are ordinary and common that will not create a statement about how you appreciate the person who will receive the gifts. Another problem with traditional gifts is that you might only be guessing about what particularly interests the recipients or what certain things a celebrator is desiring to have. If you are buying a book for an old classmate, for example, you might be giving a novel that doesn’t interest him or that he might already have. If you are buying a dining set for a newly wed couple, these same set might also be thought of giving by another guest. These, and many other reasons, are why you should stop thinking about traditional gifts. Here are also some of the reasons why you should give personalized gifts:

Personalized gifts are unique and special. Personalized gifts can stand out from other gifts because they describe and characterize the personality of their receiver. A birthday celebrator may be receiving a number of photo frames for his special day but a personalized photo frame engraved with the receiver’s name will be well appreciated. In addition to this, a person who will receive a simple but personalized gift will consider your thought unique and special.

Personalized gifts are relatively more affordable than traditional gifts. People have become so accustomed to receiving gifts so recipients are so hard to please these days. Thus, gift givers generally resort to buying more expensive gifts to please their recipients. An expensive watch, for example, on a couple’s anniversary can convey a message that the receiver is special but it can cost the giver an arm and a leg. Giving a less expensive but personalized gift such as a personalized photo album will convey the same message that the receiver is special without the hassles of costs.

If you are still thinking about what gifts to give someone on a coming special day, scrap the idea of traditional gifts. Go for personalized gifts that are unique, special and affordable. Truly, the receiver will appreciate to receive a gift that is personalized, specially thought of and given by you.
