Make Your Own Gift: 3 Unique Gift Ideas for the Home


Are you sick of racking your brain to think of suitable gift ideas for birthdays, Christmas and other special occasions? Are you worried that someone else will come up with the same gift idea as you? Are you worried that your gift will not be well received? If you suffer from any of these fears, there’s an easy way to overcome them: make your own gift, personalized to the recipient’s personal tastes.

I know it sounds difficult, but it really isn’t!

In this article I am going to focus on personalized gift ideas for the home and provide you with three different products that can be personalized to create some of the best gift ideas around.

Custom Blankets

Everyone likes to curl up under a blanket on a cold winter night, whether it’s watching TV, reading a book, or just dozing on the couch. That makes a blanket a great gift idea, but if you personalize it with meaningful photos and a message or two, it’s not a good idea anymore, it’s a great idea!

Before you rush to personalize your blanket, stop and think about the recipient’s interests. For example, if they are parents or grandparents, you can bet your boots that they would love a personalized blanket with photos of their children or grandchildren on it. If you are a dog lover, can you think of a better gift idea than a personalized blanket with a collage of photos of your favorite dogs?

custom shower curtains

Before deciding on a shower curtain for a gift, you should make sure that the recipient does not have a bathroom with a shower stall enclosed with a glass door! However, if you have an open shower stall or a bathtub that doubles as a shower, a custom shower curtain might be a good option.

Before you decide, visit her bathroom. Does the shower curtain look new or is it old and outdated? Does the bathroom have a theme, seashells, dolphins or something else?

Armed with what you’ve learned from your visit to their bathroom, you should now know if they really need a new shower curtain. If they are, all you need to do is customize a shower curtain in a color scheme that matches your bathroom; If the bathroom has a theme, simply add that theme to the curtain and you have the perfect gift – a gift they will certainly appreciate!

Custom Doormats

The next time you visit a friend or family member, look around the porch to see if they have a good doormat. If they don’t have one or the one they do have is worn and worn, you’ll probably find a personalized doormat that will make a nice gift the next time you need to buy a gift for them.

When it comes to customization, you can create the perfect mat to fit your character. If they are very formal, a simple mat with a simple text, something like “Welcome to Smith’s” or “The Smith Residence” would be ideal. If you’re happy, lucky, and less formal, perhaps a touch of humor will work, something like “Welcome to our humble abode” or “No nonsense.”

The bottom line is that when you make your own gift, it can be whatever you want it to be. Just do some research, find something the recipient doesn’t have or something they do have but need to replace.

Once you identify a suitable product, all you need to do is personalize it with photos, designs, and text that you know matter to you. Do that and you have the perfect gift, a gift that is meaningful to them as well as something they will use.
