9 Sweet and Simple Personalized Gifts for a Loved One

Sending any sort of gift to a loved one, whether for a birthday, anniversary, or “just because,” is almost always certain to brighten their day. Depending on the occasion, they are often thrilled with even the smallest of gestures, but of course, there are times when you want to send something really special.

As opposed to purging and decluttering your home for a regifted item, you should consider giving a personalized gift that is unique to the receiver. That’s why we’ve put together this list of nine sweet and simple gifts that they are almost certain to love and appreciate.

1. For Daily Use

Millions of us start our day with a fresh cup of hot coffee in our favorite mug. While a coffee cup might not seem like the ideal gift at first, especially if your first thought was one that says “world’s greatest friend,” a coffee mug with picture could be perfect. 

Just think about it; what better way to start the day than with a cup of coffee with a picture of their new grandson or a goofy photo of you?

2. For Daily Work Use

Another thing that many of us use daily, sometimes numerous times throughout the day, is our trusty ink pen. A refillable personalized pen could be the perfect gift for everyone, from administrative assistants to executives. Depending on the occasion and your gift-giving budget, you could also include personalized stationery for an added sweet and thoughtful touch.

3. Jewelry

It has been said that jewelry makes us better humans, so you can’t go wrong with giving it as a gift. While many men enjoy jewelry, it can be the perfect gift for your girlfriend, wife, partner, or significant other when you personalize it with a special message. 

4. Something Cozy

Give him or her something warm and cozy in the form of a personalized robe. Whether they just use it fresh out of the shower or every night because they’re cold-natured, a fluffy fleece robe is a gift that keeps on giving.

5. Personalized Toolbox

While it might not be the perfect Valentine’s Day gift, if you’re looking for something personal for him, an embroidered tool tote or engraved toolbox could be what you’re looking for. 

6. Home Bar Supplies

For the whiskey lover in your life, a personalized flask and multi-tool box could be a huge hit! Make sure to include a few engraved cups and ice makers so that it’s extra special. 

7. Mark a Special Occasion

Whether you want to celebrate an engagement, wedding, anniversary, or birthday in a unique way, or you just want to give someone an extra special gift, a beautiful star map is a fantastic personalized gift. You’ll first choose from a variety of designs, then simply select a date, location, and time, and the custom map will show exactly what the stars and constellations were above at the time.

8. Something for the Kids

This one could also make a cool gift for a co-worker or a “just because” surprise. For as little as $10, you can give them a cool straw with their name that can be used over and over (with proper washing of course).

9. Something Extra Special

If none of the above sounds like the right gift, you can step things up a notch and go for a custom engraved watch. With options for both him and her and a wide selection of styles, chances are pretty good that you can find the perfect option for that special someone.

As we’ve shown, you don’t necessarily have to spend a lot to mark a special occasion. Personalized gifts are a great way to show your loved ones that you care and put some thought into their present.
