Personalize Your Christmas

Posted by Polly in Christmas Ideas

Everyone likes to receive a personalized gift over a generic one. It shows that the person put more thought in to it and that you are special to them.

This year for Christmas don’t buy a box of generic cards to sign your name in and send out. Send out personalized cards. It is much cheaper than you think!

You can purchase a box of generic cards that you slide a 4X6 picture in. Open your picture folder on your computer and pick out a favorite picture of you and that person that is receiving the card.

You probably have funny pictures of the two of you together or a funny picture of that person from the summer. Go to Walgreens.com and upload the picture to their site and have it printed out. They will print your pictures in an hour and it will only cost you are .25 cents per picture.  Do this for each of your recipients. If you do not have a picture of that person, send a funny picture of you!

This is such a personalized way to send out a card that doesn’t cost a lot and won’t take you long to put together.

If you have a lot of pictures of a close friend, send them a picture book for Christmas. Kodak has a great site that you can upload your pictures to and personalize each page to have a caption with each picture. You can print your favorite picture on the cover and it comes out just like a hard-back book would. You can write them a letter on one of the pages letting them know how much you appreciate their friendship.

This is a great personalized gift for under thirty dollars. You could do this for your closest friends and family. It is something they will proudly display on their coffee table that their friends will come over and look through. It is better to spend money on a personalized gift that you know they will love then purchase a thirty dollar sweater they may or may not wear.

Another great personalized gift is to purchase someone a digital frame and upload a bunch of pictures to it. When they open it they can immediately plug it in and see the pictures start to scroll through. If the person already has a digital frame, you can purchase a memory card and upload a new set of pictures to it.

Give them the memory card and they can plug it in to their frame.

Personalizing a gift doesn’t take a lot of time or money, get creative and make your loved ones feel special this Christmas!
