Long gone are the days where you could just give a last minute gift voucher or card. Nowadays with the internet in its stride, people are buying into birthday present ideas that offer customisation and personalisation. This is happening in leaps and bounds.
A news article online (I can’t exactly remember where), had stated that in 2007, of all gift purchases made online – more than 50% were in the form of personalised gifts. I’m not too sure about that statistic but if big companies like Walmart, Starbucks, and Macy’s are offering personalized gift vouchers than the rest of us better pay attention.
Some birthday present ideas that I have come across include, although not exclusive to:
- Custom t-shirts
- Custom sneakers
- Personalized jigsaw puzzles
- Custom chocolates
- Personalized plates
- Caricature drawings
- Build your own book – story, or scrapbook
- Custom toys
- Custom figurines – these look just like your caricature in 3D
There are plenty more out there, these are just the birthday present ideas off the top of my head. With the internet offering such a wide variety of services, why would you choose boring old birthday present ideas when you have ideas like these at your disposal?
