Reasons why you should buy personalised gifts this Christmas
*This is a collaborative post
Whether you’re shopping for an anniversary, birthday or Christmas gifts, finding the perfect gift for your loved ones can be really difficult.
Firstly, it may be hard to know what items they already own, and literally no one wants the awkward silence that occurs watching someone unwrap a duplicate item that someone has already bought. While perfume, aftershave and make-up can make a great gift, they’re also an incredibly personal choice – a product loved by one person may be repulsive to another. If you haven’t seen someone for a while, it can be hard to know whether their preferences have changed. For example, my Stitch-loving ten-year-old has now become a skincare-loving tween – proving you can never be overconfident when guessing what they may really appreciate. For someone who appears to have everything, it can also be super challenging to think of something unique that will still have the wow factor when they peel back the wrapping paper.
If you’re struggling to decide what to buy your loved one as a gift, a personalised photo canvas print could be the perfect choice. Here are just a few reasons why personalised photo products make an excellent gift.
Meaningful and thoughtful
A personalised photo canvas shows your recipient that you have genuinely put some thought into their gift. You’ve considered a photograph or moment that you know they will love and something that is sure to make them smile.
Unique
Unlike mass produced, predictable or trending products, a personalised photo gift is completely unique and personal to them. You can be confident they won’t already have something the same, so the risk of duplication is virtually nil.
Budget friendly
Despite the emotional impact, the cost of a personalised gift is far lower than you might expect and is likely to evoke a far stronger reaction than more costly gifts.
Celebrate a special moment or memory
Some memories are so strong that seeing a photo takes you right back to that moment, bringing back memories of the joy, happiness and fun you experienced at that time. Whether it’s a photo of you both together, a special day or simply a photo of the people (or pets) they love the most, a photo gift can help keep those happy moments right at the forefront of their mind, brightening their mood on dull days.
Sentimental and long lasting
A photo gift is something that your friend or loved one will cherish and keep forever. Unlike some gifts which can quickly be used, discarded or forgotten about, photo gifts are likely to be displayed and enjoyed for many years to come.
Customisable
Most canvas prints are customisable, allowing you the freedom to get creative. You can choose the size, layout and artistic effects such as black and white or sepia prints to help it reflect the recipient’s style and taste.
Easy to create
You don’t need to be a technical wizard to create your own photo canvas as most of the templates are ready for you. Simply choose the photo(s) you want to use and upload load them online before positioning them as you wish them to be displayed. It really couldn’t be easier.
