ALT-2 Best Websites for Personalized Gifts
I am a big sentimental softie at heart, so personalised gifts top the list of presents that I love to give and to receive.
The gift market is jam packed with wacky and unique gift idea's so there is definitely plenty of choice. Whether you want top cheer up a friend or welcome a new arrival there is something for all occasions.
Over the years I have comissioned a number of personalised gifts that have gone down very well with my family and friends, from a leather bound history of my uncle's favourite football team to a book of memories from a fun-packed summer. Although the gifts were perfect, making them unique by adding personalisation or engraving adds that extra special touch and I love it!
I have included some of my favourite (tried and tested) sites that I can guarantee will be ideal if you are looking for a gift of this kind but as always there are a number brand new site full of goodies just waiting to be discovered.
Getting Personal is one of my favourite ever websites. It is my mecca for unique gifts and cards and their service is second to none. This site has an easy to use homepage which directs you to all catagories of gifts available.It is regularly updated with brand new products and they provide everything from cards to wedding presants and personalised chocolate bars.It is packed full with gift idea's suitable for any occasion.
My favourite purchase from this site was a personalised notebook that I bought for my best friend last Christmas. It may sound a little uninspiring but as my friend is a journalist who is always rushing around on jobs this was the perfect choice. She absolutely loved the sentiment and I loved it so much I then bought another for myself.

My next choice is ideal if you are watching the pennies, to get any gift engraved with a loved ones name is a lovely touch but can sometimes be a little expensive.
24Studio provides an easy stress free shopping experience that is packed with goods that can either be personalised or engraved. If you have internet access you can browse all of their products and place your order online, alternatively they have catalogue including their full range of gifts that can be ordered over the phone.
The beauty of this particular site is that it has a number of payment options to suit all needs. You can either pay when you place you order using a credit or debit card, or you can opt to spread the cost with a payment plan,
If you choose this option you can still receive your goods straight away but instead of feeling the pinch from a huge bill you will be sent a monthly statement to allow you to make regular repayments.
Studio is an established company that has been trading for more than 40 years so you can rest assured that you will receive a fast and efficient service. It is a firm favourite in our family and has helped us out with the expense of many birthday's and Christmas's when the pennies are a little tight.

The last of my recommendations is ideal is you have a picture perfect camera lover in your family. I use snapfish so often that I am thinking of investing in the company.haha.
It is an online digital photo site that allows you to upload and store all of your digital photo's and arrange them into albums for easy access. You can also create a number of special gifts using your snaps that will last a lifetime.
From birthday cards to collages and photobooks to mugs the options and endless. Simply upload your pics, choose your product and Snapfish will help you to create the perfect gift. The process is very simple and easily done. You can choose from a range of colours and sizes and all products are very competitvely priced and great value for money.
My most recent (and I have to say most impressive purchase) was a 2011 Calendar not only is does each month feature a different member of my gorgeous family the service also allows me to pre-enter all the birthdays and special events of all my loved ones which are printed on to the calendar complete with a picture of them to remind me.
I was absolutely over the moon with this gift anyway but the fact that it was also half price made my purchase even more attractive.
If you are thinking of using pictures to create that special personalised gift then this site is a must! Visit:http://www3.snapfish.co.uk/snapfishuk/welcome/campaignName=sem_google_welcome/retusr=true?s_kwcid=TC%7C15559%7Csnapfish%7C%7CS%7Ce%7C3355426327
