CREATE A CUSTOM GIFT
A personalized present never loses its charm
There’s something touching about the thoughtfulness that comes with the giver thinking specifically of the receiver when picking out presents. There already seem to be a thousand and one ways to create custom gifts these days, yet a personalized present never loses its charm.
So here are a few more ideas for tailor-made gifts to suit certain someones in our lives:
1. Personalized coloring bags (@coloringbags.ph) are like one-page coloring sheets but in washable canvas tote form. They come with a free poster paint set and free customization (by sending one’s preferred outline image, and with the option of adding a name).
2. Proud parents need not leave their children’s artwork tacked on the fridge door at home. Customization shop Skylar Lane PH (@skylarlaneph) allows these beloved doodles to travel with the parents wherever they go by printing them on different types of mugs— enamel mug, insulated travel mug, tumbler, stainless steel mug or stainless sports jug.
3. If it’s not enough to sew a piece of clothing, bag, pillow case, cloth mask or whatnot as a gift, take it further by having the fabric (woven cotton, cotton canvas or cotton spandex) used for these handmade projects customized at Oh My Fabric Shop (@ohmyfabricshop). The catch is that the minimum order for bulk custom printing is 50 yards, and if you want to keep the design exclusive for your own use, you must be willing to buy the 10-percent allowance they add in case of misprints (but only if the excess fabric has no misprint). There is also a lead time of one-and-a-half to two months.
4. These days, you can practically customize anything— even walls. With Manila Mural (@manilamural), you can transform a loved one’s room to suit their particular personality by designing a wallpaper mural uniquely their own, giving them the gift of getting the right vibe in their very own space. With a minimum order of 3 square meters, their wallpaper murals come as seamless singular pieces. Keep in mind that how the designs will look will depend on the wall proportions: Landscape designs are best for wide walls, while repeat patterns look best on narrow walls.
5. Or, give the gift of having the ability to personalize itself with customizing gadgets available at Googly Gooeys Shop (@googlygooeys)—like Cricut Mug Press for customizing mugs; Cricut Easy Press 3 for inking on fabric; and Brother P-Touch Cube for printing labels on stickers and ribbons.
