Every lady likes to feel special, and the latest personalised gifts allow you to do just that, by featuring the most beautiful word imaginable to her ears. Her name.
Personalised Art
Why not create a Warhol Style pop-art print - with her as your muse! Find a good headshot photo of the special lady (not the one of her looking a bit cross-eyed and squiffy during last year's Spanish holiday) - and the techie wizz-kids will immortalise her in an eye-catching print!
Alternatively, why not celebrate her star quality with the latest range of personalised canvases. These feature beautiful images of fireworks, beaches, starry skies or even chocolate sauces - all bearing her name. Or treat her to a personalised dressing room print - just don't be surprised if she takes even longer to get ready... after all, even domestic celebrities need to look their best for their public!
Personalised gifts at home
Personalised gifts have come a long way from schooldays, when it meant scrawling someone's name over your pencil-case. Nowadays the range of personalised gifts is huge - photo-embellished bags, oven gloves, aprons, make-up cases... or perhaps amuse her with your photo on a cushion (facial close ups get maximum 'style' points). Nestle it tastefully amongst her sofa cushions... and don't be surprised if she hurls it at you! (Explain 'the joke'.)
Alternatively, why not publicly acknowledge the fact that she's 'the boss' and present her with a personalised Director's Chair? Displaying her photo, she can sit in style and shout 'artistic' orders from it! Of course if you're in the pub/down the end of the garden and can't actually hear them - well, such is life...
Personalised calendars
For literary (or disorganised) types, personalised gifts can be useful too - for example, a personalised calendar will look fun and funky in the kitchen. Get mushy with a romantic 'I love you' calendar. Indeed why not 'assist' by pre-marking your birthday in as a subtle hint? Alternatively, pick the popular theme calendar, with her name displayed in a beautiful new image each month - gardens, balloons - even coffee -- all pay homage to the special lady!
Quirky personalised gifts
Unusual personalised gifts are perfect for lovers of quirky and innovative items. How about a personalised doormat? Perhaps: 'My wife says "get those filthy trainers off or else". Or use your latent culinary skills to impress with a personalised jelly mould! After all, it's time we celebrated jelly and ice-cream as a bona fide dinner-party dessert, so break the, erm, 'mould' by presenting a wobbly masterpiece bearing the name of your hostess! They'll be talking about it for years to come.
For something truly unusual, how about a blend of bespoke personalised tea? Simply tell the Master Tea Taster (no, that's not you - it's the experts that create the blend) the lady's likes, personality and interests etc, and they'll create a unique blend from exotic worldwide teas and present it in a beautiful black gift box, with a chic ribbon. Personalised gifts like this really will impress - just don't be upset when she swans off with a dainty china cup of the fragrant blend, and you're left with your usual builder's brew in the chipped cartoon mug.
It doesn't end there however, there's also a range of little stocking fillers to bring a smile to her face... why not try personalised gifts such as 'name a box of chocolates' with everything she needs to choose her perfect personalised chocs - which will then get sent to her to enjoy. (Nab one too! For 'research' purposes of course!) Or get 'old skool' and create a fantastic old-fashioned mix tape. The genius twist here is that the case contains a little USB memory stick inside - so you get the nostalgia, without the dodgy sound and unravelled tape spools. Just select some decent tracks... And no pressure, but she probably doesn't remember 'Kung-Fu Fighting' with the same fondness you might. Otherwise how about a pretty pink hip flask, engraved with her name (more stylish than that bottle and brown paper bag she's been carrying around) or a personalised silver handbag mirror, so she can see how pleased she's looking, with the fabulous personalised gifts you've showered on her!
All in all, personalised gifts really are a fantastic way to make the ladies in your life - girlfriends, wives, sisters and friends - feel special and show them how much you care - so get creative and explore what's available! All jokes aside, she'll think you're wonderful for it, and chances are you'll find your name suddenly rising in the popularity stakes as a result - happy days!
