With Valentine’s Day soon to roll around (14th February for those of you who couldn't remember the date) it's time to start thinking of a nice loving and thoughtful gift to give to your husband/wife/girlfriend/boyfriend/secret crush etc, thankfully for some of the nicest well thought personalised Valentine's gifts we may be able to help you out!

We make and create a few wonderful small gifts that don't break the bank but are packed full of "romance and thoughtfulness" that will score you big brownie points come Valentine’s Day.

Our special dated keyrings can be used to mark the date a Girlfriend/Boyfriend first went on a date or when a Husband/Wife got married. The keyring has the calendar month engraved into the wood along with a relevant loving message at the top and bottom (e.g. "My Wife since" at the top and then "All my Love forever, Mark xxx" at the bottom, you can even add a slightly longer message to the reverse too.

We also have our jigsaw keyrings that is a pair of keyrings that join together, each piece has a heart engraved onto the connector piece and you can have a message engraved onto the front of each piece and again a short message engraved onto the reverse of them too if you wish, that way you can both have a keyring that join up together, oooor, how romantic :)
Along the same theme we do our calendar jigsaw keyrings which have a calendar month year and date circled on the front and then a short message on the reverse of them too, a great way to mark a special day you have together maybe such as a wedding anniversary.

Something slightly different but equally unique are our wooden cufflinks that can be engraved with your own short message or you could have a very small calendar month engraved onto them too

We have designed a range of wooden wedding invitations. These are a sure way to really stand out from the crowd and are a extreemtly lovely and unique idea for a wedding invite.

Currently we have 3 wedding invitation designs that can all be altereted and personalised to suit your own wedding (or party).

The wooden wedding invites are made out of a 3.2mm cherry wood and have the wedding/party details engraved into the wood. The details are not just simply printed on the wood but they are actually engraved into the wood so they won't scratch off.

We can alter parts of the invites and change sizes or even if you wish have heart shaped holes cut into the wood if you so wish. By default the standard size are A6 whcih is around 105mm x 148mm.

There isn't a great deal we can say about these invites as they speak for themselves, they really do give a real touch of class and are not as expensive as you many people would think, they are comparibly priced to many paper/card wedding invitations. Price can be as low as £3.20 per wooden invitation.

We can if required personalise each individual wedding invitation, obviously this would be at a further price to do so as it is a very time consuming thing.

Currently we have a couple of modern style invite designs and also a lovely Postcard wedding invitation design too. If you have your own design that you would like us to do though please get in contact with us as we are always happy to do other custom orders too.

Most wedding anniversaries have a tradition gift that is associated with it and many couples like to give traditional wedding anniversary gifts to each other when their special day comes around each year.

To make this easier we have compiled a list of what the Tradition wedding anniversary gift by year is to help when trying to check what the gift idea is for your specific number of years married.

The wedding anniversary gift list we have compiled is for tradition UK gifts which does slightly differ from the traditional US gifts.

Many of our items are very popular for celebrating wedding anniversaries, especially the personalised jigsaw keyrings that we do which can be great for any wedding anniversary, although extra brownie points for giving on the 5th wedding anniversary (wood).

We have our very own FREE personalised letters form Father Christmas or a letter from Santa available to everyone and you can print it out all ready personalised right now.

Both letters include the gender of the recipient, their name, their age, where they live, the name of their friend and also a relative which are seamlessly included into the letter to really bring it to life as one specifically for them.

We have 2 different letters available, one is our "Mince Pies & Presents" letter from Father Christmas and our other is our "Rudolph Getting Lost" letter from Santa.

They are very easy to do, you just enter the basic information for the recipient and then click Submit and your letter will automatically be produced as a PDF document than you can then print out straight away, there is no waiting around.

It is then up to you have you want to give it to your child, you may want to just leave the letter for them on their desk or in their room or you could even put it in an envelope and post it to them.

Some people even like to put a bit of glitter inside the envelope so when the letter is opened the magical glitter is there too adding to the excitement and joy of Christmas.

You may also want to include a personalised Christmas decoration with the letter, we have a few which can be personalised as you would like, maybe an idea is you could have it personalised from Father Christmas himself maybe and then let your Child hang it on the Christmas tree.

So you've got that engagement ring on the finger and have had all that excitement and now you've just set your wedding date but know it is too early to be sending out your wedding invitations or your evening invites. What you don't want is your friends and family to be double booked with other events or holidays so instead of just verbally telling people when your wedding date is that is very easily forgotten then you could look to send out some personalised "Save The Date" or for evening guests "Save The Evening" reminders.

Unlike traditional "Save The Date" cards that can easily get lost at the bottom of a drawer we have created Save The Date fridge magnets that you can give to your guests and will magnetically stick to their fridge with your wedding date on so they know what date to keep free.

Our wedding "Save The Date" have a real touch of class and style to them and will impress all your guests. They are made out of a lovely cherry wood that measures 5cm x 3cm with a magnet attached to the back.

Your personalisation is then engraved into the wood.

These are a real favourite for couples planning a wedding (or even a party) as they are a lovely handy size but not too big that means guests will hide them away and are great to be kept safe on people’s fridges.

We sell the "Save The Date" in multiples of 10 and with orders above 50 the price per unit reduces slightly making them even more well priced the more you buy.

Our latest Save The Date design has a heart shaped design with a banner running through the bottom.

With Christmas fast approaching we have worked on a few Christmas related designs and specifically personalised Christmas tree baubles and gifts that are a great way to personalise your Christmas tree in the festive season.

Our personalised tree decorations are a lovely way to mark a special Christmas, for example a baby’s first Christmas, a couples first married Christmas together, the first year in a new home or even to send to someone to show them that you are missing them at Christmas.

The decorations can be personalised with any names or messages you want and will look great on the Christmas tree.

Jigsaw pieces: Our pair of jigsaw piece tree decorations work great for a couple, friends, parents, family members as each piece can have an individual name or message on and when joined together the jigsaw pieces fit into each other to show they are joined. The decoration measure around 17cm x 8cm when the pieces are joined together.

Heart shaped Christmas decorations: The heart shaped wooden decorations are great to have any short message engraved onto them to mark the special occasion. The decoration has a star engraved into the corner and is again made out of a beautiful cherry wood and measures 6.5cm x 7cm.

Double baubles: The double bauble design is as the name suggests a pair of tree baubles that are joined together and again can represent the joining of a couple of family members and there is room for a nice message to go across the middle of the baubles. They are again made out of our lovely Cherry wood and the tree decoration measures 11.5cm x 8cm

Why not surprise a loved one or friend this Christmas and give them a tree decoration that they will cherish and be with them all through the festive season and it will be something that you or they can look back on in years to come to remind yourselves of the memories of this Christmas.

We had an order in today from one customer who will be celebrating their 10 year wedding anniversary next year and to celebrate the special occasion they wanted to surprise their husband with a vow renewal around the same date as their wedding anniversary.

So what they asked us to create was our personalised wedding date cufflinks with one with their wedding date and the other with the renewal date on so the customer could surprise her husband with them when she proposes the renewal date to him.

We thought it was an absolutely brilliant and thoughtful idea and gift for such a special occasion and no doubt a gift that the husband will keep very safe as a keepsake!

Don’t forget we can put initials, names, dates etc etc onto the cufflinks which we make out of a cherry wood and they all come in a lovely gift box for safe keeping and to make them that extra special.

Most of the personalised cufflinks we sell are for weddings however they can be adapted for so many special occasions and will really add that extra bit of attention to detail to finish off any smart outfit.

Why not buy some yourself or surprise someone with a pair of their own personalised cufflinks as a gift.

Well finally after a long while of getting ourselves sorted Personalised Gifts.co.uk has finally launched our new website on the 30th September 2014 bringing you a range of our own personalised gifts and products that we hope you will all love.

We are a pretty small and new business and consist of a husband (Mark) and wife (Sheri) team along with our chief quality control officer dog (Eric), you can read a bit more about us on the erm, About us page :)

Anyway, we are constantly designing new products and will be growing our range and perfecting designs to suit all occasions, don't be afraid to ask us if we can do something slightly different on your gift as we always look to try and help out where possible unlike some larger personalised gifts companies who will have set designs that can't be altered.
