subject: Finding Personalized Holiday Gifts Mom Will Enjoy [print this page] Holiday shopping is one of the most stressful times of the year and finding a personalized holiday gifts mom will love is even harder. It can be even more difficult trying to find that perfect gift for mom especially when it seems like she has everything. However, there are a couple of options for that perfect gift that can bring a smile to any mother's face. Personalized gifts are a lot like the handmade cards created when you were a child; only at this stage of the game, the gifts are more refined. (She still might prefer a handmade card. You never know!)
Of course, the gift shouldn't simply be about money. Try and consider what might be both special and meaningful to your mom: for example, alma mater mementos such as jewelry or desk sets, a monogrammed clock reminding her to occasionally reward herself with a little time off, - or even a personalized, monogrammed pet bed for that special puppy in her life!
Want to make your gift even more personal? What about Thumbie keepsakes? These items of jewelry are made from fingerprints, infant footprints, and even pet paw or nose prints. Companies like Meadow Hill offer good selections at different prices to accommodate different budgets. Make sure you allow enough time for collecting these prints, and remember to check the website instructions first! Or, if that's too much of a hassle and you don't mind not surprising mom, consider purchasing the print collection kit so that you can work with her to choose the prints she would cherish most.
The result is a one-of-a-kind gift to be treasured forever. Third, consider photographs or paintings of special subjects assembled in frames or scrapbooks. Commissioning a painting of Mom's home, favorite pet, family or other subject can be very special, but so can a purchase of one from a favorite artist. Often such drawings or paintings can be reproduced on stationery or in other formats, too. Photos can be assembled in an electronic frame, standard frame, or sent to a company that will reproduce them on canvas.
Scrapbooks can be assembled in traditional paper or electronically: There are many retailers that provide easy means to do this, or the giver can be creative many software programs. It is really fun to illustrate family recipes or stories in this way.
Jewelry can be made into necklaces, bracelets, rings, and earrings. Think about your mother's favorite jewelry and try to replicate that style. She will love the fact that you put the time and effort into thinking about her. For some people scrap booking has become a favorite past time, why not create a memory book of your favorite childhood memories.
The best place to start your search is the internet. It has tons of great ideas for your parent's gifts. The stores online will generally ship the gifts to you, which is convenient for younger people who might not have access to cars to go and shop!
