Engraving a gift is one way of customizing it.
Gifts are often too generic, thoughtless or lacking in creativity. Knowing tailor a gift to fit a person's unique personality and interests will help you avoid those common pitfalls and will show him that you genuinely care. A customized gift is also creative way to express your generosity and is more likely to be appreciated and put to good use.
Instructions
1. Choose an item that reflects his interests. If he enjoys watching and collecting films, give him a DVD to add to his collection. If he loves a particular sports team, give him a cap or jersey that features the team's logo.
2. Create a themed gift basket around one of his interests. Include in the basket a range of items that relate to the central theme. If he is an avid golfer, create a golf-themed basket. If he loves to camp, create the ultimate camping gear basket.
3. Tailor the gift to specific activities he enjoys. If he is adventurous and a thrill-seeker, an activity gift such as zip-lining or para-sailing would make a thoughtful gift.
4. Pay attention whenever he mentions something he wants or needs. For example, if he has continually complained about a tight muscle in his back, get him a sports massage at a local spa. He will be impressed that you listened to him and that you know him so well.
5. Engrave his name, a meaningful quote or a sentimental message onto a watch, flask, golf club or other metal item. Embroider his name onto a cloth or leather item such as a golf bag, jacket, a briefcase or a bathrobe. Engraving and monogramming will personalize the gift and add an everlasting, sentimental quality to it.
6. Use your personal photography to customize the gift. Frame a photo of him doing something he loves or use a photo gift website to create photo mugs, photo calenders, photo books or other photo gifts.
7. Add his favorite homemade treat to the gift. Bake it yourself to ensure it is exactly the way he likes it. Home-baked goods show him you pay attention to what he likes.
