How Personalized Gifts Add Value and Meaning to Giving

The act of giving gifts is almost ubiquitous in today’s world. Whether the reason is a notable event, thanks for a job well done or “just because,” people often look for ways to show their appreciation, affection or care for the important individuals in their life. Of course, a gift is an awesome way to do that. But maybe there’s an even better way. A way to add more value, importance and lasting meaning to the act of giving. That’s where personalized gifts come in.

Because personalization lets the gift giver add their special touch, the result is a gift that is 100% original. For instance: a necklace personalized with the names of all a mother’s children and their individual birthstones, or an heirloom music box with your daughter’s name. Maybe you’d like to help someone elevate their home cocktail setup. A custom barware set with their name and initials would certainly provide a welcomed start. These are just a few of the unique personalized gifts available from The Bradford Exchange.

The Power of Personalized Gifts

Ever wonder what makes a personalized gift so significant? So potent? So impactful? In recent years, there have been a few studies examining the effect of personalized gifts. Particularly on those who receive them. Because personalized gifts are so tailored and so unique, they are perceived to be more thoughtful than non-personalized gifts. They show that the gift giver has taken more effort to create something one-of-a-kind, reflecting their recipient’s interests or relationship. Therefore, they are more powerful, both for their surprising immediate response and for their lasting positive effects.

Perfect for Special Occasions, Holidays and Important Relationships

When giving someone a personalized gifts for a special occasion, it can create an extra layer of meaning for them (and for you). Birthdays, major life milestones, anniversaries, Christmas, weddings, Mother’s Day and Valentine’s Day are just a few that come to mind. When the personalized gift connects to these singular or annual moments, they become a permanent part of that celebration. Not only for the day but for a lifetime. Always a part of the gift recipient’s fond memories.
