With the festive season approaching, everyone is looking for the gift 'with a difference'. One way is to have something personalised a gift that suits for an individual, so I thought i would ask MoneySavers for their suggestions. Obviously as these need to be made up, speed is of the essence.
Let me start it off

Here are some of the companies
Classic Novels (including Shelock Homes, Wizard of Oz, Alice in Wonderland)

studio cards are quite good for personalised stuff, although i've never really had a problem,with them, i know some people have. also our brownies do a catalogue from Webb Ivory which gives 25% off the cost of items to the brownies, and they do some cool personalised stuff too. especially helpful when you've got kids with names that aren't classed as the usual to find things for.0

Prezzybox do personalised calendars where they integrate your name / message into seasonal pictures. They look really well done and so unusual. They cost £11.95 plus postage, although postage is free with orders over £25.

I'll write your name on a white mug using permanent marker for a couple of quid ;-)0

At TescoExtra in the mugs section, they sell a box containing a white mug and special paints allowing you to paint anything on the mug and then you stick it in the oven according to the instructions. If I recall correctly, it's priced between 3-4 quid. There's also a smaller mug, slightly less expensive, for children.0

Personalized, jewellery boxes/keepsakes/stools/door plates etc. Very happy with a couple of recent orders since we found the website0 -
Here is a great site for something a bit different - https://www.sayitwithwine.co.uk They have nicely presented personalised wine and Champagne. Good helpful service and the prices include courier delivery.0

Just wanted to say that the https://www.picturesonwood.co.uk website is fantastic. I've ordered a couple of things from here too and they've made the design to my spec (even though with my lack of design ability, it was just a rough description of what I wanted and they sent me pics until I was happy). They've even put the designs on their website now!
Definitely worth recommending.
