How often have you gone to a birthday party with a gift, only to find someone else has bought the same gift. Uggh.. it's embarrassing. But really, other than yet another shirt, gloves, blouse, random necklace, what do you buy that hasn't been done over and over ?
Well.. how about a personalised birthday gift? One on which you can engrave your own personal message. Maybe a verse from a poem, or a blurb about a crazy night you spent with your friend, or perhaps just simply their name and date.
Well here are some suggestions you will no doubt find helpful. I've purchased some of these myself for friends and they were all hits.
Last year my boyfriend turned 30. I wanted something to commemorate that milestone but couldn't find anything terribly unique. Then I ran across this stainless steel hip flask set by National Engravers, so I had it engraved with his name, date, and a personal message from me.
Now, my guy is not a big drinker. But he absolutely loved the gift. He takes it with him when tailgating with his mates at football matches. I think some of them even bought one for themselves.
Brandy Warmer Sets
Along the same lines, how about this deluxe Cognac & Brandy Warmer Set by bar@drinkstuff. It's perfect for the Cognac and Brandy connoisseur that enjoys a nice warm hit of liqueur on a cool evening. It's really quit an elegant gift, packaged in a latched wooden gift box, and includes a silver plated warmer stand. The mahogany veneer box with a brass latch makes this set highly presentable as a personalised birthday gift to an experienced brandy appreciator.
Baby's ABC Tankard
Continuing the theme, how about Baby's first tankard? I can guarantee you nobody else will show up at a birthday party with one of these for your child. It's really pretty adorable with an A-B-C Block design and beautiful polished pewter finish. Personalise this tankard with your own engraved message for your friend's toddler.
Retro Personalised MIlk Bottles
If your friend is into retro, you really have to check out these personalised retro milk bottles. It comes as a set of six with a white wire carrying rack. They're the perfect novelty for serving condiments, drinks, sweets, or just decorating with flowers. This is definitely a chick thing, but she'll love them. Personalise them with a birthday message.
Personalised Silver Plated Compact and Atomiser
This really is a lovely set that will make a statement to one of your gal pals, or girlfriend with an engraved message. The set includes a beautiful silver plated compact mirror and perfume atomiser. It can be etched with a message or even an image, and comes packaged in a very nice gift box.
I found all of these items online at National Engravers. They carry a huge line of personalised glass ware, gifts, trophies, brass and steel plaques and signs.
