Card Factory Top 10 Personalised Christmas gifts
Choosing the “right” gift can be a minefield. I don’t want to waste money, I don’t want excessive plastic and most importantly, I want the recipient to genuinely love it. For family & friends a bit of personalisation is always a winner however I’ve found that some of the “famous” brand names that spring to mind can be 1) very expensive and 2) a bit samey-samey.
I was therefore surprised & delighted when Card Factory came to Mumbler to ask if we could tell our Mumblers about their brilliant (and great value) on-line offering. They’ve got a store in Stockport (in the covered part of Merseyway) however on their website they offer a massive array of items that can be personalised.
At this time of year, we want to make it as quick & easy as we can to sort out Chrimbo presents so we’re going to share our top 10 personalised gifts from card factory, ideal for friends & family this year.
We all know someone with an unique or unusually spelt name, maybe it’s even your own child or grandchild. And the struggle is real when it comes to finding gifts with their name on! But with Card Factory’s personalised gifts that is no longer a problem! They’ve got a huge selection of personalised gifts, our top 10 are all priced under £20 – so perfect for gifts for teachers, grandparents, children and friends – regardless of how unusual their name is!
4. Personalised Photo Cushion £14.99. A great way to capture a memory and keep it forever! We’ve just shown some of the mini-mumblers these online and one of them have asked if she can get one for her best friend with a photo of them both on it. How cute is that? I’ve got a toddler, and you’d be surprised how much we take a cushion out with us! They’re ideal for long car journeys, train journeys – and great when you’re off on holiday.
5. Named Diary from £5.99. I love a slim diary – nice and compact that it fits in your bag but plenty of room to jot down all those important dates! I find them so much easier than using my diary on a phone, and the best thing about them is they never run out of battery! In fact, I’ve noticed all my mum friends have a paper diary. So an ideal gift for a busy mum! You can personalise them with photo uploads, and/or their names.
6. Personalised photographic calendar from £5.99. We couldn’t believe how cheap these were in the Mumbler office. Desk versions are just £5.99 and the A4 wall calendars just £7.99. These are another great way to capture several memories which would make an ideal Christmas present. You can upload your own photos and choose from three different sizes. I haven’t been in a family house that doesn’t have a calendar pinned to the kitchen wall! We all know the golden rule – if its not on the calendar it doesn’t count! A must to keep any busy family on track throughout the year.
7. Personalised Tree Bauble£9.99. I love this gift! The first Christmas for my daughter my friend bought her a personalised bauble and we loved it – and it’s now become a tradition in our family to buy a new one every year! You can choose to upload a photo or simply personalised one of The Card Factory’s many designs – we’ve ordered a photo upload one this year. Another great stocking filler, an ideal gift for someone’s first Christmas!
8. Reindeer Christmas sack £6.99. Personalise with your child’s name, this lovely, soft Christmas sack is perfect for putting all sorts of presents inside! Its 70cm x 50 cm. Another lovely personalised gift that become a festive tradition!
9.Personalised Cheese Board set £19.99. So this gift is perfect for me and my husband! A heart shaped personalised wooden cheese board comes with two cheese knives and a cheese fork tucked under the sliding cheese board lid. You can add two names and two messages of your choice which is carefully engraved onto the board in a cute uppercase font. A beautiful romantic gift for all those cheese lovers!
10. Mugs prices start from only £2.99. Surely the most popular gift for teachers or a great idea for your work secret santa! They have traditional and modern designs, with a wide range of personalised and non-personalised options. There are options to personalise your mug too. You can personalise with names and/or photos! They even have mugs that change colour when they’re filled with hot water and there are over 200 designs to choose from.
We hope that you like our selection of beautiful gifts that are eco friendly, capture memories and are great little tradition makers! So there you go Mumblers – get shopping!
