What makes a great Personalized Gift?

Of course, the most popular choice is to add a first name to a gift.
But there are several other options you might want to consider when creating personalized gifts.

Try a “nickname”

Using nicknames is a great way to make less formal, more casual Personalized Gifts.

What about a favorite motto, slogan, or saying?

Many people have mottos, slogans, sayings, or even a favorite phrase that you could use to make a really Unique Personalized Gift.

Remember those Special Occasions?

Adding “Happy Birthday”, “Happy Anniversary”, “Sweet 16”, or an important date to a gift makes it a Special Gift to remember. It’s now more than a Personalized Gift, it’s a memento too.

Don’t forget colors:

Obviously, knowing someone’s favorite color helps when choosing a gift. But not knowing that doesn’t mean you have to choose pink for girls and blue for boys.

If you are ordering our Custom Keychains as Personalized Gifts and are unsure about what color to choose, but you know the person’s birth month then try our Birthstone Color Chart below for some suggestions. You may not find an exact color match with our acrylic mirror colors, but you can come very close.

You can also choose a color based on its meaning from our Color Meaning Chart below, “Red” for Love for example. You can even pick your favorite color. After all, the gift is from you! And remember, if all else fails, you can always go with traditional pink and blue.

Color Meaning

For Your Pet:

If Pet Tags are on your Personalized Gift list then try matching the pet’s collar or leash color. If in doubt, remember that Pet Tags aren’t just nametags, they are Pet ID Tags used for Pet Identification which means you want a color that will stand out against the pet’s body. In other words, for pets with darker color coats choose brighter color Pet Identification Tags, and for pets with lighter color coats choose the darker color Pet Tags. By the way, for your pet’s safety, all our Personalized Pet Tags are made from real 1/8” thick acrylic mirror not just shiny plastic or metal, so they’re durable and because they are mirror, highly reflective even in low light.

For the Home or Office:

If you’re selecting a gift from our Home Decoration section you’ll probably want to accent the person’s home or office interior. But don’t despair if you’re unsure about what color to choose. Black is always a popular color choice because of its ability to accent well in many different color schemes and home decors.

The same is true for Contemporary Clocks since they can also be considered Wall Decoration with the added functionality of a timepiece.

Choosing the Rose Color:

If you’re selecting one of our many personalized gifts that has a rose design, try to select a rose color that complements rather than one that blends in with the background color.

For example, if you choose a red mirror background, a pink, blue, yellow, or white rose looks very nice.

Or, you can select the rose color for your Personalized Gift based on its special meaning from the chart below.

For Your Vehicle:

If it’s Personalized License Plates or License Plate Frames your buying and you can’t seem to decide on an exact color match, try complementing the vehicle’s color with a lighter or darker shade rather than going for an exact match. This way the License Plates will stand out rather than blend into the vehicle’s color. Another popular way to Personalize License Plates is to add the vehicle’s make, model, or year to the Vanity License Plates. Nicknames for vehicles, personal slogans, mottos or funny sayings and phrases can also make truly Unique Personalized Gifts. Some examples of Personalized License Plates and License Plate Frames can be seen in the Custom License Plates shop of our website. Want to see more personalized license plates ideas?
