Why Personalized Gifts Are the Best Choice for Father’s Day
The Problem and the Personalized Gifts Cure
Buying gifts for Dads can be difficult.
We know.
We’ve had the same problem ourselves and didn’t just want to get the socks, ties, etc.
Moms can drop hints, big or small and it’s way easier to know their preferences.
A lot of Dads won’t say what they want, or will not have thought about it, so it can be hard to read.
If we ask them what they want, there will be no surprise, so we end up buying them something generic that has no wow factor.
Another problem buying for Dads is they can say things like ‘'I already have everything, sure what do I need’'.
We call this “already have everything syndrome.” This can make gift buying for dads challenging, and you’re just going through the motions, walking around the shops knowing he will get little value out of the gift — but you have to get a gift for Father’s Day.
When you’re buying a gift for Father’s Day, another thing to consider is that you want the gift to be functional, something he will use or get value from.
Another thing a dad might say around Father’s Day is, “Don’t spend a lot of money” or “I don’t need anything fancy.”
They tell you they have everything when they don’t (they just don’t want another pair of generic slippers, etc.) and they tell you not to spend money on a gift, and then unless you have a big clue, you have no idea what to get them.
So, what's the answer.
Personalized Gifts to the Rescue
Father’s Day is a great day to show love and appreciation for Dad.
Now, traditional gifts like socks, wallets, ties, and cologne are okay to good gifts, but they lack the personal touch and emotional impact.
Personalized gifts can jump in to resolve this, as they are unique gifts, can be sentimental, celebrate the bond between Dad and kid (big adult kid or small), and have high functionality or daily use value.
They can also showcase cherished memories between Dad and kid, which is what he will love.
So without further ado here’s why personalized gifts are the best choice for Father’s Day.
4 Reasons Why Personalized Gifts are super for Fathers Day
Emotional Impact
Personalized gifts are practical gifts with a twist!. The twist is they are personal gifts to the Dad.
Each gift is unique.
Each gift is made to order.
Sure a Dad might enjoy the usual generic gifts of ties, robes, tech items, etc. but when they are given gifts that have emotional meaning for them, they will tug at their heart strings.
They become keepsakes not just objects and the Dad can get enjoyment out of seeing the gift daily.
This could be a Custom Coffee Mug of a photo of him and his daughter with a custom message.
It could be a Portrait Drawing printed to the product of him or of something else.
It can be a Custom Message he wants printed to the product.
Here is detail of the ordering process. Step 1 in an order is to upload the Photo and our inhouse team will review to check photo for resolution, layout, colors, clarity, lighting, clearness, size to ensure it fits the product. We crop and align if necessary using Adobe Photoshop before it is sent to printing. We make these adjustments as needed. We partner with trusted US & EU international print facilities who use premium inks. From there it's packaged and shipped directly to your door. This isn't mass production. It's very specific custom order work, and quality design checks are conducted before departure. Its human led only.
Here are some visual examples :
There are so many customization options available, but lets say a Personalized Keychain to hold his keys.
You have have a family Photo of the Dad and kid, or just kid, drawn by our artists and engraved onto the keychain. We also have lovely pet portrait drawn keychains.
A special message, date, etc. can be added to the keychain.
A custom canvas print with a happy memory photo can be printed on the canvas—something that will have special meaning to him and he can have hung in his sitting room or bedroom.
A dad and kid portrait can be drawn and printed on a canvas. There are so many options and great choices for Father’s Day gifts.
Sentimental Value
We firmly believe being sentimental when gifting & exchanging gifts is very important. It can ensure the gifts mean something, and are very valued by the gift recipient.
This could be a simply Photo on a mug, or canvas print, for example, of a happy moment in time in peoples lives.
Once the gift is personal, it becomes valued by the person.
Unique One-of-a-Kind
There aren’t any two personalized gifts that are the same.
They are made-to-order product pieces specific to the customer’s life.
So, if it’s a customized t-shirt with an inside joke, or maybe a personalized grilling set for the BBQ king chef dad, personalized gifts reflect the recipient’s individuality and are uniqye to each recipient.
Once a gift product has practical use and has the personal touch, it transforms the product into a keepsake.
Celebrate Family Bonds
Personalized gifts can strengthen family bonds.
Even a Mug with a ‘Best Dad Ever’ message can go along way to satisfying Dad and making him happy.
A photo book filled with happy memories reminding dad of special times is gold, in our view. These gifts are treasured for years, serve as a daily reminder of strong family ties to make Father’s Day special, and can put a spring in the step of the provider dad to do what he needs to do.
Endless Customization Options
Personalized gifts come with a wide range of customization options.
So, for a tech-savvy dad, sports mad dad, or soppy sentimentalist dad, there is a custom gift to match his personality.
Options include :
- Personalized Hobby Gifts – personalized sports gear, fishing gear etc.
- Photo Gifts – custom keychains, canvas prints, mugs, tumblers, photo books etc.
- Customized Apparel – personalized t-shirts, sweaters, hats etc.
- Engraved Gift Products – like wallets, cufflinks, watches etc.
- Handwritten Gifts – for example, a mug with his own child’s handwritten message like “I love you Dad,” “You are the Best,” etc. This will be more important to him than a generic message.
No More Decision Paralysis
According to research and even from our own experiences buying for loved ones, deciding what to buy can be the hardest part of all when gift buying.
A survey conducted by business.yougov of UK shoppers found 53% of shoppers it is difficult to know what to buy their loved ones.
Personally, we would have thought it is higher from experience.
Instead of endless searching, shoppers with personalized gifts can think :
- Who are they buying for ie Dad, Mom, Girlfriend, etc.
- What Gift Type - ie mug, canvas print, personalized wallet, personalized jewelery, etc.
- What Photo or Text - they want personalized to the gift to make it unique and heartwarming to the recipient.
- Order Preview personalization completion then before purchase, so they know what to expect
- Occasion - Father's Day, Mother's Day, Birthday, Valentine's Day, etc. Customers can go through to Occasions catalogue on the personalized gifts store website.
No More Shopping Stress
Both men and women can get shopping stress but this can be more acute for men.
A lot of christmas shoppers plan way ahead of the big day to avoid this last minute stressing.
A survey reported by business.yougov of UK shoppers found that shopping stress can be divided into separate causes, from buying too late, from decisions about what to buy their loved one, to lack of perceived offers, to concerns about late deliveries, etc.
We know from a survey reported by the National Retail Federation, 46% of participants said it was important to them to find a gift that was unique. 37% reported they wanted a gift which created a special memory. We know also from research reported by Spiegel Research Centre that online is the leading source of gift inspiration and it finding gifts that were unique is high on the agenda for the Dad's is high on the agenda of gift buyers.
With personalized gifts for father's day, you can get gifts that will have emotional and practical value for him, that can arrive to your door and frankly are cost effective.
These gifts are unique, not generic duplicates, that are designed to be keepsakes.
