Lois Loves - Unique Personalized Gifts

A personalized gift is always more appreciated because it signifies that the gift-giver took an extra step to make the gift more meaningful to the gift recipient. When most people think of giving a personalized gift, they usually opt to give an item imprinted with the gift recipient's name, initials, or the date of a special occasion. But why not go a step beyond that? Personalized gifts don't only have to be limited to imprinting the recipient's name or initials on the gift. I've found a few truly personalized gifts that are bound to knock the socks off your gift recipients.

When I learned of the Design-Her Gals website, I immediately thought their products would be a hit. Design-Her Gals allows customers to create a "Gal" that resembles the customer. Gals come in different poses, races, and sizes. Choose an outfit, a hairstyle, eye color, and accessories to re-create your look. Once you've fully customized your Gal you can choose to have your Gal printed on stationary, stickers, invitations, mugs, aprons, tote bags, and other great products. This is a great birthday gift for you "gal"friends.

Personalized Children's books are great gifts for children and their parents. I See Me offers two personalized children's books for $29.95.

"My Very Own Fairy Tale is a 8 1/2" x 11" hardcover, professionally bound book that transports little girls into a magical garden where flower and berry fairies crown her as their fairy princess. Enchanting fairies bring letters one by one to spell out the child's name, while describing character traits that make the recipient alone the perfect princess. The sunflower fairy brings an S and says she knows a smart girl who would be a great princess; the hollyberry brings an H and says she knows an honest girl, and so on. At the end, the fairies crown the special girl as their fairy princess in a grand celebration."

"My Very Own Name book helps children learn to recognize letters and spell their names. In this 8 1/2" x 11" hardcover, professionally bound book, animals bring letters one by one to create the child's first and last names in rhyme. A jackal brings a J, an ostrich brings an O, and so on. At the end, the animals celebrate because they've created the perfect name."
