But it rarely does.
Of course, your SO won’t drop you any subtle hints either. They’ll either tell you that they’re just happy to spend the day with you or that they sincerely don’t want anything. They think they’re being lovely. But they’re actually just making it tortuous for you. So, what do you do when you want to give a novel and unique gift, but the highstreet fails you? You need to go off the beaten track. Here we’ll look at some personalized gifts that go beyond mere monogramming and name-etching…
Whiskey lover in your life? Give your love a flavor!
You have a whiskey lover in your life. But you’ve already gotten them a laser-etched tumbler and / or decanter with their name on it. You’re out of options, right? Wrong!
What about creating a flavor of whiskey together that is as unique and special as your relationship? With a make my own whiskey kit, you can do exactly that.
Your face on their feet… always
A good novelty gift for someone who assures you that they really don’t want anything this year. Socks. But not just any old socks. These personalized socks allow you to take a photo of your face and replicate it over and over again to hilarious effect all over the stretchy foot covers. Of course, if you want to crease up your face in revulsion at having to live within millimeters of their foot odor, that’s your prerogative.
Them as a Pop Vinyl
Does your significant other have a thing for Funko Pops? You’ve likely tried to get them every conceivable variant of their favorite characters only to find out that they already have that one in their collection. But how about creating a Pop Vinyl figure that’s completely unique… because it’s molded to replicate their features with dazzling accuracy?
There are lots of services that allow you to do exactly this. Indeed, even Funko themselves have gotten in on the act if you want to maintain their unique aesthetic so that it fits well with their collection.
Pet on a Mug
Finally, if your special someone has a special four-legged companion, why not make them a part of their present? If you know where to look on Etsy, you can find an artist who can adorn a drinking mug with an adorable cartoon likeness of their feline or canine companion, so that they’ll smile whenever they take a sip. Who says you have to compete with the pets for your SO’s affections?
