Holiday Gift Ideas: Personalized Holiday Gifts

It’s that time again … time for holiday gift ideas! Every Friday until Christmas, I’ll have a new gift guide up. Personalized holiday gifts are always the subject of my first gift guide of the year. In a normal year, it can take longer for them to arrive, but that’s especially true this year. Supply chain issues are REAL, so order ASAP! Especially because Hanukkah starts the Sunday after Thanksgiving, so if you’re shopping for Hanukkah and haven’t started, you’re running late.

To help you with your shopping, be sure to check out past editions of personalized or custom gifts: 2020, 2019, 2017, 2016, and 2015.

Personalized Holiday Gifts: Customized Stamps

There are so many reasons for stamps, and they’re so fun! Here are some great ones.

Self-Inking Custom Address Stamp ($25.99) – It comes in 5 colors, and you can use these for adding return addresses to letters or packages. It could be for someone who has their own business, who is getting married and has a ton of pieces of mail to send, or maybe for a person/family who just moved. Lots of uses!

Custom Library Stamp ($20.50+) – This is a perfect gift for a bookworm! Adults and kids will get a kick out of this. I would also suggest this for your teacher friend who has a classroom library. 

Floral Book library embosser custom ($20+) – Okay, so this isn’t a stamp, but it’s similar. There are a LOT of patterns to choose from; they’re listed as A-A22 (A-Z plus 22) so you can give a really sweet gift this holiday season. 

Custom Library Stamp ($20+) – You can get a self-inking version that comes in 8 colors or a regular stamp without ink. This is the perfect gift for the teacher in your life!

Teacher Grade Stamp with Pouch ($13.82) – This is AMAZING! There are 8 grading options, 12 decorating options, and 62 font options, so you can make an amazingly personalized gift for the teacher in your life.

Personalized Classroom Teacher Stamp ($19.25+) – This is similar to the last one, but it’s a bit different. There are 12 stamp options. Some options are grades, some are for a classroom library, some are feedback, some are other things entirely. There are self-inking options and hand-stamp options. 

Custom Logo Stamp ($7.99+) – Give this to the person in your life with a small business!

Personalized Holiday Gifts: Decor

Personalised Photo Print Plaque With Custom Message ($9.83+) – Get that Polaroid feel with a digital photo!

Last Name Established Sign ($45+) – Perfect for people who recently got married. There are 5 color options and 5 size options.

Personalized Name Plate for Desk ($39.99) – This is so pretty. Give it to someone who has a desk at an office, whether it be a doctor or a teacher or some other profession. It’s great for people who recently started their job or recently received a qualification!

Custom neon sign ($161+) – Yeah, it’s a little pricey, but it’s so pretty.

Custom Star Map Print ($11+) – There are 9 design options. You can give it to your significant other, a family member or friend who recently got engaged or married, or some other special day. 

Wooden Map of Any City in the World ($149+) – Is someone in your life moving away from a favorite place? Help them take that place with them with this map. There are 11 size options and 6 color options.

Personalized Engaged Ornament ($30) – Pretty self-explanatory! 

Shutterfly Personalized Pillow ($20+) – Do you know someone obsessed with their pet? Put the pet on a pillow! Put a family pic on a pillow! Put! Everything! On! A! Pillow!

Personalized Holiday Gifts: Jewelry

Birthstone ring ($52+) – Whether it be for your mom or a mom who recently had a child, any mom would love this birthstone ring. 

Personalized Gift For Women ($25+) – This is a beautiful gift that can mean so much. Give it to a mom, to someone who wants to carry someone with them, or someone else entirely.

Hand Stamped Bracelet ($9+) – Does someone have a quote that carries them through? Put it on a bracelet. Does someone have a saying that they want to keep with them? Put it on a bracelet. 

Personalised Wish Bracelet ($7.03) – I think this is the perfect gift for when you have a bunch of cousins or nieces/nephews/niblings and want to give something meaningful.

Personalized Holiday Gifts: Miscellaneous

Personalised Jigsaw Puzzle ($14+) – Take a picture you love and turn it into a puzzle.

Personalized Leather Keychain ($15.50+) – There are 6 leather options and 6 metal options. This is a gift that’s easy to give and really memorable.

Shutterfly photobook – Are you shopping for someone who isn’t on Facebook or Instagram, or isn’t on them a lot? Put together a photo album for them with Shutterfly! This is perfect for parents or grandparents. I’ve made my mom so many of these over the years, and they’re always meaningful.

SELF-IMAGE WITH CHRONIC ILLNESS⁣⁣⁣ ⁣ It can be rea SELF-IMAGE WITH CHRONIC ILLNESS⁣⁣⁣
⁣
It can be really easy to feel like chronic illness has taken over everything about you and that all you are is a patient. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣
You might be different than you were before you developed symptoms, but that doesn't mean that everything about you is different, even if everything about your life is different. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣
There is no one aspect of our lives that defines all that we are. That's true for LITERALLY EVERYONE! No one is just one thing. We're all many, many things. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣
For example: yes, I'm a chronic illness patient, and yes, I talk about it a lot online. But I'm also someone who is passionate about education, who played 1-3 instruments for 12 years, who is obsessed with her home state, who reads a ridiculous amount of historical fiction, and who has been writing in some capacity for decades. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣
Even if all you know about me is that I'm a chronic illness patient, that doesn't mean that all I am is a chronic illness patient. ⁣⁣⁣

PREPARING FOR SUMMER WITH POTS⁣ ⁣ Summer is right PREPARING FOR SUMMER WITH POTS⁣

Summer is right around the corner. Here are somethings I'm doing now to make it easier. ⁣
⁣
1️⃣ Finding my many fans and making sure they're charged⁣
2️⃣ Increasing my sodium intake ⁣
3️⃣ Making sure I have plenty of @cure, my preferred electrolyte supplement⁣
4️⃣ Getting back into the habit of using Tachymon, the app I use on my watch as pictured here. I have it set to notify me not only when my heart rate gets high, but also when it has changed by a fair amount. Here, it shows my heart rate is 150 and the change from my recent average (104) is 45.6. With POTS, the problem isn't only an increase, but a quick increase. ⁣
