Personalised Gift Ideas For Him
Great! We are definitely spoilt for choice.
The only question is - how will you personalise it?
In the artisan world it is very easy to personalise your gifts. Every piece they make is nurtured proudly and they love doing personalisations. Use this to your advantage - think about how to truly personalise it.
The easiest and most often available option is to engrave, embroider or emboss the name. But you can also use his favourite phrase, or give genius advice like "enjoy life". Could there be something else?
Here are few ideas I have seen in my time: just a date of an important event, expression of love in Italian or French and playful abbreviations he would have to guess - like "YBTM" (you belong to me).
