The holidays are just around the corner, but it’s not too late to find unique gifts for everyone on your list without spending a bundle. What’s the secret? Give personalized gifts! For $25 or less, you can add a name, a monogram, a personal message or a photo to a product and instantly turn it into a one-of-a-kind gift certain to be cherished. Read on for a few personalized gift ideas that happen to be very affordable. The beauty of personalization is the way it turns an ordinary product into an extraordinary gift. For example, a travel mug that might be too boring on its own becomes a great gift once you personalize it. Select the perfect fabric to wrap under that mug’s plastic exterior, have a name or monogram added with the thread color of your choice, and suddenly you have a one-of-a-kind gift made just for its recipient. And, you’ve spent less than $23. Many other products that might appear run-of-the-mill on their own turn into wonderful, affordable gifts once they are personalized. A lunch box, for example, makes a great present when embroidered with a child’s name or monogram. Pacifier clips, those handy gadgets that keep babies and pacifiers attached, become desirable fashion accessories when you choose the perfect fabric for them and add a monogram. A wine glass engraved with a special holiday message to a friend instantly becomes a more meaningful gift than a plain wine glass (and sets you back only $20). A blown-glass Christmas ornament turns into something extra special when personalized with a hand-painted initial. A notepad becomes a thoughtful gift when you select its pattern and color and add a name or a clever phrase to the top of each page. A pocket mirror, once it is covered in a fabric you choose, makes a fantastic stocking stuffer that costs only $10. A key chain purchased for a friend becomes a treasure once an artist paints a mini-portrait of that friend’s child on it. Even something as simple as a placemat turns into a holiday gift that will make a kid smile when it features his name and a hand-painted, kid-friendly picture (a fire truck, perhaps, for the vehicle-obsessed boy). Of course, not all affordable personalized gifts have a practical use; some just taste great! Send the cookie lover on your list an 8-inch, hand-decorated sugar cookie in the shape of a Christmas tree and her whole family will be grateful (and you’ve spent only $23). Or, send a box of beautifully decorated organic cookies in holiday shapes (you pick the flavor and designs) and do your part to protect the environment at the same time; they arrive in gorgeous eco-friendly, recyclable gift packaging! If you’re looking for a unique party favor to send home with your guests this holiday season, consider what you can have done to an Oreo cookie. For $1.85 per cookie, a decorator can turn an Oreo into a beautifully decorated snowman face, tuck it into a cellophane bag, and tie it up with a ribbon of your choice. Oreos look equally amazing dipped in chocolate and hand-painted with snowflake designs!
