You\’ve probably spent year after year buying the same uninspirational, yet just about acceptable gifts for your close friends and family. Isn\’t it time for a change? Isn\’t it time to buy them something that puts a real smile on their face? If you\’re bored of giving the same predictable gifts every year then now?s the time to consider the wonderful world of personalised gifts. Such a simple idea but yet such a clever one because now when you buy your friends and family their well deserved gifts for birthdays, weddings and anniversaries to name but a few of the occasions where a gift is expected, you\’ll never be short of inspirational gift ideas. There is nothing worse than excitedly unwrapping your presents to find that someone has bought you the same thing or something you already have which is why personalised gifts are perfect. Never again will you be in the awkward, embarrassing position having bought something they already have and better still you won\’t have to revisit the shops to replace said item. Three of our top gifts ideas, which work equally well for birthdays as they do weddings, are:

1. Personalised shot glasses make a unique and lovely personalised gift. Not only are they unique but they are also very usable and are sure to come out at every party! There are lots of designs so they make the perfect gift for bridesmaids, brides and grooms as well as for birthdays. There are cartoon designs as well as engraved shot glasses for that extra personal message.

2. Personalised wine glasses come in all shapes and sizes. They make a fantastic gift for any wine lover and make fantastic personalised birthday gifts. A personalised wine glass also makes for a unique personalised wedding favour, which won\’t break the bank. If you\’re looking to be really unique then a wine glass that can hold a whole bottle of wine is guaranteed to put a smile on their face. For weddings and anniversaries personalised wine glasses and flutes are perfect for the celebrations.

3. Personalised mugs are another great choice of personalised gift, which is perfect for weddings and birthdays. Whether you are buying a gift for him or for her, adult or child there is a mug, which will suit their interests, hobbies or character. If he\’s a football fan then having his name printed on a shirt in a dressing room printed onto a mug will be cherished forever and is a guaranteed perfect gift. Because mugs are so usable you can be sure it will be well received. If she\’s a shopping fanatic then a mug or cup with her name printed on a cartoon shopaholic character will not only be amusing but you\’ll be remembered for buying such a unusual gift.

You would be forgiven for thinking a personalised gift will take a long time to arrive but this is one of the advantages of buying online. The moment you place your order you can rest assured that it\’s in production the very next day. If you are cutting things fine for time then you\’ll usually have the option to have the personalised gift of your choice sent directly to your recipient. No more having to spend countless hours scratching your head in a shopping centre of high street anymore!
