Remember when you used to create homemade cards and gifts for birthdays, holidays, and other special occasions?
Just because you’re grown up now doesn’t mean you have to lose that sense of childlike wonder.
Not only do personalized birthday gifts come from the heart, but they’re also a form of art therapy for both parties.
Even better, it’s easier than ever to customize gifts with online platforms. Simply create your gift online, and send it to whomever you want in the world.
Discover a few tips and tricks for making personalized gifts that last a lifetime.
Custom Birthday T-shirts
Do you want to make a birthday shirt for a friend but are worried you don’t have the sewing skills to create your vision?
You don’t need to be a fashion designer (or even a graphic designer) to make a custom shirt!
There are plenty of platforms that will let you upload family photos, messages, or birthday cakes and print them on shirts. You don’t have to order the shirts in bulk, either, but it’s a good idea if you’re throwing a big party. You could even roll them up and put them in b-day goodie bags.
If you want to get your hands dirty, you can try airbrushing or screenprinting the birthday shirts themselves. There are plenty of stencil designs to choose from, like candles, numbers, and ice cream cones.
Yummy Personalized Birthday Gifts
Who doesn’t love receiving a food gift for their birthday, graduation, or milestone?
Food is one of the easiest gifts you can assemble, especially on late notice.
For starters, you can always whip up a batch of homemade cookies for someone’s birthday. It’s not difficult to find out somebody’s favorite cookie. Plus, you can wrap them up in birthday-themed baked goods wrapping and enclose them in a tin.
Even better, cookie tins are reusable!
You could even put your homemade goodies in a classic store-bought cookie jar. If you want to go the extra mile, make your own ceramic cookie jar, complete with glaze and a kiln. There are also online platforms that let you make personalized cookie jars with the birthday recipient’s name.
Homemade brownies, lemon bars, pies, and chocolate-dipped fruit also make excellent b-day gifts. If you’re in a rush, you can always order a “fruit bouquet” complete with chocolate-dipped favorites.
Personalize Birthday gifts With Coffee and More!
Speaking of food gifts, you can’t enjoy a meal without something delicious to drink!
Roughly 75% of all adults drink coffee, with more than 50% of surveyed coffee drinkers consuming at least one cup per day. This stat is the perfect starting point for a personalized birthday gift.
First, start with the recipient’s favorite roast, and enclose it in a personalized bag. Next, create a customized coffee mug or thermos online.
Include a koozie accessory too to protect their hands; you can shop for customized koozie products online to complete your food and beverage birthday gift basket.
