Buying a gift that is truly personal isn’t as easy as it at first seems. We are often victims of our own self-interest or easily swayed by what we are subjected to in stores both physical or online.
When did you last take time to sit back and wonder what she really wanted? What gift would truly be one that will make an impact or address her actual wants and desires?
A personalized gift is one that is uniquely special to her and trying to hit the sweet spot of being both effective as a present that suits her perfectly and also aligns to your budget is like trying to find buried treasure without a map.
However there are some items that might be just what you are looking for and here’s a few ideas to get you started on the right path.
Personalized Jewelry
Why not show her how much you love and cherish her. Give her the gift of a name necklace that will act as a regular reminder of your shared connection. Maybe the name you select is a friendly nickname, or your name or even the name of your child or an entirely relevant word that symbolizes something unique to you both.
These days name necklaces are not only widely available they are also a trendsetting item that has been celebrated by high-end fashion labels and stars of the silver screen. 2021 is most definitely the year of personalized jewelry and now is the time to dazzle her with this perfect gift.
Surprise Her
This is less of a gift idea and more a sense of thinking outside the box. Why wait for a ‘special’ occasion in order to show her that she is special to you? Throw away your calendar and turn off your anniversary alerts on your phone.
If it’s a random Tuesday in March then it’s a random Tuesday in March, go get her something regardless of whether the date is. Getting a gift out of the blue can sometimes be as effective and rewarding for the receiver as the present itself.
DNA Ancestry Kit
This would be an awesome gift for that special someone who has always had a rich interest in her own history, and especially of her extended family. You can order a personal genetic kit that outlines her background all the way back centuries and in doing so you may stumble upon some timeless information that would truly astonishing.
An Engraved Wedding Album
Maybe your special day was some time ago but you want to remind your partner just how important they are to you to this day. You can look to upgrade your existing wedding photo album with a wooden engraved cover where you can display your names and a special message for her to really hit it home.
Personalized Tote Bag
In case you were not aware of it, the Tote Bag is huge this year, and you can surprise your loved one by getting her a specially monogrammed bag that will make her stand out from the crowd. There are many services that offer this great embellishment on truly stylish bags that come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. You can also look to match with other personalized items that would go in the bag, such as a wallet or jewelry case.
Personalized Pillows and Bed Sheets
These are a nice touch and a bit of fun that will be a nice light gift for her that will always remind her of your loving relationship. These can be as classy or as cheesy as you wish and can be matched with bed sheets. You might want to make it understated and just have your personal initials marked on the items or go for a full on photo of the two of you from your wedding day. The choice is yours.
Gemstone Necklace
How about giving your partner a great gift that is individual to her. You could consider buying a gemstone necklace that represents the gem that marks their birthstone or you could look to add your initial as a monogram to make it all the more about it being a gift from you to her. These come in a wide range and many of these are simply sumptuous and there’s no doubt she’ll be astounded and amazed by such a personalized gift.
Personalized Photo Book
If you have the time and inclination you could put together a photo book that marks your relationship. Do the legwork and collect all the great photos, or even take new ones, that illustrate the special places and memories you share.
You can look to have the images collated in a professional book (and there are many great places online to find such services) or you could try to DIY it and in many ways going that extra mile shows a level of commitment that goes beyond simply swiping your credit card or adding an item to an online store cart.
Be Unique
These are just a short selection of possible gift ideas you can give that will be personal to her, and to the both of you, and remember it genuinely is the thought that counts. Spending time considering what would be the uniquely ideal gift for her is what will separate this gift from all the others out there.
