The Great Personalised Gifts Hunt

Does a front page, back page or double spread newspaper page with your chosen person featured in a story (for around a tenner)

I've just ordered a back page for my hubby which shows that he scored two goals for a premiership team, there's a photo of him on it too

Haven't received it yet but have high hopes that it will be good quality.



Edited to add that my paper has arrived and I'm thrilled with it, it looks like a real newspaper . The only problem is that the delivery envelope has the company name printed on it so if it's a surprise for someone in your house then either catch the postman or have it delivered somewhere else.

I have just bought a dressing gown for my girlfriend from La senze a pink one and got it enbroided with her initials on the front from a company found in yellow pages for £10....then went to https://www.easy2name.co.uk and bought a label with her name on to replace the la senze one inside.

it looks very nice and shows that you made a reall effort.

If you've got a bit of time on your hands, buy a few cheap spray paints. I've made lots of fab gift boxes from medicine bottle boxes and other packages. Easy to personalise and I'm also painting various cheap items and personalising gifts for all my family! :xmassign:

nice idea but £10 just to embroider initials sounds a lot of money! presume they have a computerised sewing machine like my friend has that can do whatever lettering u want in minutes! must tell her to expand the business!!

All Fired Up (and similar independent ceramics cafes) are great for personalised gifts at http://www.allfiredupceramics.co.uk

I ordered some personalised candles off eBay from a seller called Pinkypoos. She was able to put on the candle (example) To Mrs Jones, A Very special teacher - from Susan xxx.
They come in a lovely cloth gift bag with gold sprinkles in - and the best bit - they are only £1.40 I think that is the cheapest personalised gift you can get! - I bought loads of them (playgroup teachers). The p+p for 2 was around 75p I think.

I am not the person selling the candles and I don't know her personally just in case anyone wonders - I just found an absolute bargain - the quality was fantastic and thought I would share it.

Although many places offer personalised jigsaws they tend to be 20 piece things that a 6 year old could solve.

I used www.kft-scotland.com and was pleased with the result. You can send them a photo and have it made into a 704 piece (or 504 or 96) jigsaw for £21.95 + 4.95 P&P.

The picture and a message of your choice are also printed on the box.
