Sometimes saying, “I love you,” or “I’m proud of you” can be challenging. You might live far away and feel like words cannot adequately express your emotions or maybe the timing is never quite right. Why not share your emotions with a personalized card? From Christmas cards for the big holidays to the pat on the back for the recent graduate, recipients have an added appreciation for that one-of-a-kind message you’ve sent. Write a heartfelt message on the inside and include a photo on the outside that reflects your emotions. With this one gift, you express yourself and create a thoughtful gift for any occasion.
Congratulate the Graduate
Finishing high school or college is a huge accomplishment. Let your friend or loved one know how proud you are of them when you give a personalized card. Whenever they see the card that features a photo of them goofing off with friends or standing beside their schools mascot, they’ll fondly remember their educational career and be grateful for your thoughtfulness.
You can also create a photo book that commemorates their accomplishments. Include pictures of their sports, activities and academic achievements as well as favorite friend and hangout spots. This memory book summarizes your loved one’s educational career and provides them with a book they’ll proudly display as they move forward into their career.
Thank Dear Dad
Whether he’s your biological dad or a mentor, make this year the best Father’s Day ever for your dad. Give him a personalized memory book that captures everything you love and appreciate about him. Possible themes include:
- Highlights
- Favorite vacation spots
- Local sights he frequented as a child and young adult
- Pictures of ancestors
- Grandchildren
- Completed projects like a home renovation or antique car restoration
These and other ideas provide a personalized gift appealing to dads who live down the street or across the country. They will appreciate your thoughtfulness and the time you take to express your appreciation and love on Father’s Day.
Birthday Bashes
Every birthday guest of honor expects to receive presents so don’t go to the party empty handed. In addition to a gift, choose a card that honors the birthday boy or girl. For parents who live far away, print a personalized card that features a photo of your children. Each child can write a note in the card or at least sign their name, and your parents receive a snapshot that highlights the lights of their lives-your kids.
Other personalized birthday ideas include calendars or photo books. Highlight events and achievements from the past year or showcase the hobbies that the birthday boy or girl enjoys. These personalized gifts express your genuine care and appreciation for the birthday guest of honor and give them a keepsake that makes them smile.
After Party
Maybe you’ve recently celebrated a milestone like an anniversary, job promotion, new baby or retirement. Send a personalized thank you card to the friends who sent you a gift. Include a photo of yourself enjoying your new achievement, and share your gratitude with your loved ones.
Expressing emotions can be challenging, but personalized gifts make the task easier. Share your pride, love, appreciation and gratitude with a photo book or card. Show you care, and create a unique gift everyone will appreciate.
