‘Tis the season for holiday shopping! It’s only a little over month before Christmas, and yes, it’s probably a good idea to get started with our gift lists – nobody wants to get stuck in the mall the weekend before Christmas, fighting off the rest of the shoppers for the last new game console or big-screen TV. Everyone loves receiving the newest toys and gadgets, but let’s take a moment now to ask ourselves: what do we really want to be giving our loved ones this Christmas? How do we show them that we care enough to have put a lot of thought into their gifts? Today we thought we’d help share ideas on how we can make gifts more meaningful this Christmas season. Let’s begin:
Something unique is more memorable
Most people will have a wish list full of the latest technology or fashion. Now there’s nothing wrong with that, but is Christmas really the time to be scrambling after fads? Phones, TVs, laptops, shoes – these fads will come and go, but a personalized present is something that’s forever. When it gets down to it, people treasure things that show thought or care. We treasure relationships and how they make us feel. Nobody has ever looked back on their life and thought, “I wish I had had more TVs!” This Christmas, take a chance on giving gifts that your friends and family will really remember. Make it personalized, so nobody else will have anything like it!
Christmas is about people, not presents
We’ve all gotten gifts that are rote or by the book. While the thought is appreciated, of course, hasn’t it been so much better receiving something that showed us that they actually thought about us? The best gifts say “I’ve taken the time to give you something that’s only for you; and I value you and your place in my heart.” Something which a gift basket can only partly say. Now it doesn’t take much money or effort to show your loved ones that the memories you’ve made together, and the ones you’re yet to make, hold a special place in your heart. Make it personal.
Christmas isn’t just a holiday, it’s a celebration
While Great Lakes Trophies & Engraving can certainly customize useful items such as tumblers, pens and clocks so that they can be unique; you can get even more creative than that! Christmas only comes once a year; it’s a great occasion to give something really special – perhaps something that reminds your special someone of your happy memories together. Photos can be put into some of our personalized clock and photo frames in aluminum, wood, acrylic or glass. You can even include a special little message that they can see every time they look at it. It’s a great way to remind someone that they’re always in your thoughts.
If you’re looking for something that your friend can look at and truly be proud of, what about a customized award? A “Best Bowling Buddy” trophy or “Outstanding Wingman” plaque? It’s sure to garner a chuckle and we’re sure it will end up on display. We’ve got tons of options for you to choose from, there is no limit to your imagination if you let it run wild with us.
We at Great Lakes Trophies & Engraving are experts at personalizing almost any kind of gift or present. Whether it’s Christmas, birthdays or any other occasion – we offer a wide range of customization services to fit your needs and budget.
