Personalised birthday gift ideas everyone will love!

Finding that perfect birthday gift for friends, loved ones, little ones and colleagues can be a tricky task, but here at Print My Smile, we’ve got the perfect presents that everyone is guaranteed to love, including personalised chocolate gifts, mugs and posters!   

Make it mean more

A personalised gift means a million times more than a standard, out-of-the-shelf present. There are lots of choices on the high street that feature a person’s name and these make great gifts, but if you have friends and family like mine you’ll have spent hours fruitlessly trying to find their unique spelling amongst the most popular names! Save yourself the hassle and disappointment by personalising a gift yourself - everyone’s name is available with Print My Smile because you add it yourself – oh, and not only the name, you can also easily add a unique message and photos with our online editor. Gifting something personal, it shows you’ve taken the time to find the perfect design and tailor it just for them, making it extra special.

Our top tips to make it memorable

Making it memorable isn’t just about adding a name or a personal message to your gift. We think adding personal touches to every aspect of your gift will make the lucky recipient feel extra special. Here are some top tips for adding the wow factor to your gift:

1. Think of them when you choose it. It doesn’t need to be expensive or elaborate, but it needs to be all about them. Maybe your friend who has everything doesn’t need a physical gift at all – a day out or treating them to a meal might mean so much more to them. You can celebrate in style and make memories that will last long after the birthday candles have gone out.
2. Make opening it as much fun as the gift itself. Who doesn’t remember the excitement of peeling off the layers in a game of pass the parcel? Bring back a touch of nostalgia and a whole host of excitement with multiple layers of wrapping or tissue paper. In each layer you can add an extra treat, like a little chocolate coin or hand written message that shows how much you care. (One point to note here is that we care about the environment as much as we care about making a memorable gift, so if you choose this idea then pick a seeded wrapping paper that can be planted afterwards or choose a non-metallic paper and leave the sticky tape off so that it’s quick and easy to recycle!)
3. Wrap it in style. Check out our short video here on how to tie the perfect bow and your gifts will be wrapped to perfection every time! Then spritz the wrapping paper in a scent they’ll love and the whole experience will be a treat for the senses, and show how much you care.
4. Deliver it in person. Giving your gift in person makes it extra special. But if you can’t make it to their door then send the next best thing with a video message or a facetime call.

Reminiscing memories with your bestie

When it comes to our bestie’s birthday, we want nothing more than to get them an extra special gift to show how much we love them. If you’re anything like me, your phone will be packed with photos and selfies with your best friends, so why not free them from your phone memory and bring them to life in a memorable personalised poster? We have a whole range of poster designs and sizes. If your bestie is an avid Instagramer, then we’ve certainly got the perfect design for them: our very own Instagram-style photo poster - it will definitely go down a treat.

Birthdays in the workplace

Colleagues’ birthdays usually consist of sharing something edible, whether it be cake, chocolate or sweet treats. Why not combine this with a personalised card and make a special colleague feel just that on their birthday? A personalised birthday chocolate gift is the perfect solution! If you’re looking for a tailored design with your business name or logo we can do this as well, and we’ll even throw in some discount if you buy in bulk!

Something personalised for the little ones

When it comes to a little one’s birthday, the likelihood is that they will be overrun with toys and treats! So, we like to offer something a little different with a personalised gift that they can treasure as much now as when they’re older. Our personalised posters with a picture collage design are the perfect gift they can keep for years and appreciated over and over again.

We also have a new range of children’s mugs that will make a little one feel especially grown up when they join you for morning babycino or hot chocolate! The designs are as cute as anything and the size is perfect for little fingers – it’s roughly half an adult mug.
