After 7 years of courtship and 2 wedding anniversaries, I ran out of ideas to give my hubby unique gifts. I have tried ties, watch, socks, shirts, mobile phones and even camera lens. We celebrate and exchange gifts on our birthdays, anniversaries and festivals such as Christmas. In the quest of something special, I came across Printcious which customises gifts.
Providing a personal touch to a gift is very important in my opinion. It's a token that leaves a lasting impression. As I'm not a very artistic person, I let Printcious to help customising my gifts. It requires very minimal skills to make something that really touches the heart.
Designing gifts is also fun. It's very satisfying to give and receive something customised for keepsake. For those wanting a dream wedding, giving out personalised door gifts is also a great idea.
What are the types of gifts that one can create using Printcious?
-mugs
-puzzles
-cushions (square or heart shaped)/throw pillows
-ceramic
-graphic tee
- canvas
-keychains
The steps are easy but as suggested, it's better to design using desktop. This is my experience in customising a throw pillow.
1. Choose the type of gift eg throw pillow
2. Upload the image desired (only took a few seconds using mobile data. Pretty impressive)
3. Edit the image (one can choose to crop, change the saturation and contrast of the photo)
4. Insert the image (the photo can be easily adjusted by being dragged)
5. Add in some funky text with the text editor that has so many fonts!
6. Change the background color of the pillow.
Not only can one design a gift for your loved ones, one can also design and sell your design! Maybe I'll also start designing a set of family graphic tees for the next function we are going to attend as a family.
Starting a relationship is easy but maintaining it requires effort. One of the ways to keep relationships alive is through gifting. No matter how busy we are, we have to sit together as a family and celebrate precious moments together and exchange gifts. Otherwise, it's very easy to drift apart because of the busy schedule.
Now that I have finished designing the gift, can't wait to gift it! Let's keep this an open secret because I would really like to see how my husband reacts to the pillow. Stay tuned to find out!
