It has been reported from research that personalized gifts create what's termed 'vicarious pride'.

This means the gift recipients get the same pride their loved ones felt when they created them. Its so interesting. We knew with personalized gifts give the gift receiver and gift giver both get a beneficial emotional value out of personalized gifts, but the research keeps coming in to verify this for both the gift receivers and givers.

We see this daily when designing gifts and listening to what satisfies our customers but it is also backed by research. Research published in the Journal of Consumer Psychology Givi's research shows people prefer sentimental gifts. This is because they are personal to them and so remind them of relationships or special events.

Thank you to all the great Nanas! out in the big bad where would we be without ye.
