Why Personalized Gifts Are Great For Christmas

Christmas is nearly here, and everyone is scrambling to find the perfect gift for their loved-ones. There are so many great gift ideas to choose from, so it’s really nice when people give you some hints about what they want or like.

Personalized gifts show your thoughtfulness.

If you’re in doubt as to what they might want, consider buying something that is personalized. Get a t-shirt with their favorite saying, or get a set of personalized mugs made with pictures of your family. These types of gifts show that you put some thought into your selection and they can often mean a lot more to the recipients than something quickly picked out from the local mall. Another really neat idea is to get your loved ones a custom slide sandal.

Give The Gift Of An Experience This Christmas

With Christmas just around the corner, it’s time to start thinking about the gifts you’re going to buy for your loved ones. Whether you have a lot of money to spend or just a little, you can give a great gift. One option is to provide your loved ones with an experience. Experiences create great memories which will last much longer than a regular doodad would. Most of us have way too much stuff in our homes as it is, so a gift of experience is a great way to go.

Here are some ideas for gifts of experience that you can give this Christmas:

Take your family out horseback riding. If you live near the mountains, consider a beautiful trail ride that your whole family can enjoy. Take lots of pictures and you will be able to look back at this day for many years to come.

Are You Sure You Cannot Afford It?

Have you ever stopped to think about how many times you’ve said “I can’t afford that”, but what you really meant to say is that you haven’t made “that” a priority? Of course there really are things you can’t afford, but many times we can afford things but we say we can’t. Why do you think that is?

To me it all boils down to our priorities. We will make sure we can afford the things we make our priorities, but we will offhandedly say we can’t afford anything that we could care less about. For instance, imagine our son tells us he would like to go to summer camp. Would you tell him you can’t afford it or would you be willing to forfeit a few restaurant meals to ensure you could afford to send your son to camp?

If we are honest with ourselves, I hope we will examine our priorities and find out if we are using our money in the best way possible to meet our goals but also to ensure that we are not hoarding all of our financial resources. We need to think of others and not just ourselves.
