House Portraits
The house that you grew up in or your first house with the family are important places in your life. Even if you’ve moved on from those places, they still hold a special place in your heart. That’s why a house portrait is such a great personalized gift idea. Get a photo of their childhood home or another place that is important to them and commission an artist to do you a portrait of them. It’s sure to bring back good memories every time they look at it and you can’t get a better gift than that.

If you’re looking for a light hearted personalized gift, bobbleheads are a great choice. There is a great company called likenessme that can create some incredibly realistic looking bobbleheads from a photograph. You could get them one with their own face on it or maybe another family member. Getting parents a bobblehead with their kids on it is always a winner. There are a lot of different styles to choose from so you can match the bobblehead with their interests and hobbies as well.


Cushions
Photo gifts are so popular and there are companies that will print a photo on pretty much anything. You can get a standard canvas done with a favorite family photo on which is great, but why stop there? Cushions are one of the most popular photo gifts out there because they’re a practical and fun way to immortalize a great family memory. These make especially good gifts for grandparents. They’ll absolutely love a nice cushion with their favorite picture of the grand kids on it. They’re also the ideal present for animal lovers too; get hold of a picture of their pets and get some cushions made with them on.


Personalized gifts are so much better than just grabbing something off the shelf. It shows that you’ve really thought about it and they’re far more likely to cherish it for a long time.
