Original Christmas gift ideas
Are you already wondering what to get your loved ones for Christmas this year? Don’t panic – we’ve picked out 4 original gift ideas for you
It’s the same old story every year: December rolls round and, before you know it, Christmas is just around the corner! By the first Sunday of Advent at the latest, the question arises: what should you give your loved ones, customers or business partners this year? It should be original, perhaps even homemade, and of course the recipient should like it too! To help you avoid a bit of a dilemma this year, we’ve put together 4 tips for original Christmas gifts for you.
Well protected through the winter
Ideally, the most original gift is something you’ve made yourself. But don’t worry – you don’t need to reach for craft scissors or knitting needles just yet! You can make something original more easily by simply sprucing up a practical item to suit your own personal taste. Take winter accessories, for example! Socks for Christmas – for some people, that’s a real nightmare. Fortunately, there are plenty of other winter accessories that aren’t just warm and practical, but look great too. Whether it’s gloves, hats or scarves – simply choose a lovely accessory from our range. Our Printers’ Beanie, for instance, comes in a range of Christmassy colours and is ideal for customising with flex or flock foil.
Raise your glasses – let someone treat you!
For some, a coveted collector’s item; for others, an everyday item with a twist – mugs with funny prints are hugely popular everywhere! Whether it’s a pithy saying or a Christmassy design: hardly any other everyday item offers more opportunities for personalised customisation. In our online shop, you’ll find a wide range of mug designs in packs of various sizes. With our great-value pack of 12, for example, you can treat the whole family to mugs featuring funny sayings and customise each one with a personalised design.
Put something together
A personalised jigsaw puzzle makes a particularly lovely gift. How about a family photo as a customised jigsaw design, for example? Whether square or heart-shaped – in our shop you’ll find a wide selection of different jigsaw puzzles that you can easily print yourself using our YOW hardware. For anyone who isn’t keen on jigsaw puzzles, our shop also offers a selection of different mousepads for computer-loving children and adults.
Silent Night, Holy Night …
Our sleep is sacred to us – so why not surprise friends and family with a personalised pillowcase? Whether as a funny gag or a lovely keepsake: let your imagination run wild! As well as the classic sublimation process, you can also benefit from our READY and SCREEN PRINT transfer services, which allow you to transfer a wide variety of designs onto textiles yourself using your transfer press, without needing your own printing technology.
