What kinds of personalised gifts do you like to give?

Hand-made cards. They are the easiest to make and most versatile. If you are close, some hand-knitted scarf or self-designed pottery can also be a good choice.

I think getting carvings in jewellery or writings on cakes are just too cliche.

I don't tend to buy gifts with people's names on them, but I like to by gifts that show I know what my family's interests are. Gifts that are personal to them, like something they collect or really love. Trinkets with names on them tend to just clutter the house.

I like to make something instead of buying. I'm planning to handprint some more tea towels and shopping bags this Christmas: http://mykidcraft.com/hand-printed-tea-towel/. Click here. They are cheap and easy to post too.

Love making beautiful hand creams, as well as soaps. Hand made cards are still fashionable, and they're fun to create. The receivers love them due to the love and effort you've put into them.

Edible gifts made in my kitchen and mostly grown in the vegetable garden are the best - at the moment I'm bottling a lot of Mango and Tomato Chutney for friends and family - yummy.

I paint watercolours....so I like to give those to people,as a gift.
I don't buy many gift's...l like to make something from time to time.
If it someone who I have not known a long time, I (may) then buy a gift....if I go to their place for a dinner, or birthday.

I like giving framed photographs relevant to the recipient that I have taken myself.

I just made a collage of photos of my partner and myself and framed it for his birthday. He absolutely adored it.
Also - handmade cards with silly drawings or art is always a winner. :)
