Sentimentalist
The person who appreciates a personal gift more than anything else. Personalized photo mugs and calendars will act as a continued reminder of their loved ones. This can also go beyond loved ones to loved times.
Turn your favourite memory into a work of art with a canvas print. Maybe you’d like to customize a mug, fleece blanket or puzzle with a photo to create a one-of-a-kind and memorable gift. You may even want to create a memory that you and the recipient can cherish all year round with a customized calendar.
Maybe it’s not a customized item they want, perhaps just something letting them know you were thinking about them. If they like to work out, especially outside, getting them a comfortable breathable pair of workout leggings is a good option. These almost feel like PJ pants on. So they will be very thankful of you every time they’ll put them on.
