Creative Valentine’s day tips and gift ideas for a memorable night

Jonathan — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 16:50:25 +0000

Valentine’s Day can either test your stress limits or it can be an unforgettable night. Finding a perfect venue is a frustrating task in itself, and so is finding a gift that seals the night, but don’t worry you’re already on the right path to a memorable night. Luckily you have stumbled into a hidden treasure, and the following 3 tips will help make this Valentines Day monumental.

Tip 1
Tell a story with a gift. A gift that recalls a memory is a great gift in itself, but a gift that tells a story is priceless. As we mentioned earlier it is all about creativity, and a great item that can easily tell a story helps with the creative process. Innovative minds can easily conceive stories from many items without trouble, but to help you get started will start with some ideas and tips. This will help get your creative thinking up to speed with ours.

Pictures can tell a story of their own, and they are an excellent start to creating a story. It helps you develop an initial story line, and it will guide the recipient along your train of thought. Once you have your initial idea it just gets easier along the way. Here are a few ideas or memories to keep in mind that can make great gifts:

First Date
First Valentines Date
A spontaneous trip together

First Vacation together
Moving in together
Getting lost together

Tip 2
Make it one for the books with a message, a picture is worth a thousand words, and without a message for guidance it can be interpreted into many things. These following personalized Valentines day gifts ideas will help make sense of what we are trying to convey.

Valentines Day Gifts:

Will get back to the packaging on this gift in the next tip, but for this gift you’ll only have 4 photos to get your message across, so it’s going to be important that’s it short and direct. You can slip in an extra message with a note covering this personalized coaster set, so you can have a total of 5 messages instead of 4. Captivate their attention with a quote that will remind them of the memory, it can be something witty and fun, or something romantic.

A coaster can be used to compliment other gifts it can be a message in itself that leads to a great dinner on the patio or balcony. Creativity and innovation is what makes moments like these unforgettable.

A personalized stationary box can personalized with a name or quote to help him/her remember that special event. It can be engraved with “Remember our first date?”. A stationary box like this can be filled with items from that year, or with keepsake pictures that made everyday more special than the one before.

Tip 3
The packaging counts too! Yes, the packaging is important as the gift itself, after all your goal is to make this Valentines Day a memorable one. If you know that you will have a hard time picking colors go with traditional Valentines Day colors such as Purple, red, pink, maroon, white and/or cream.

Pro tip:

Personalized Valentines day gifts should not stop at an engraving or customization, but it should also include a personal touch on the gift wrapping. It is about going beyond the normal expectations, and a true personalized gift is unique in every way — think one of a kind.

Wrapping a gift is not as difficult as one may think, it only takes a few folds the real tricky part is tying the ribbon. Its already hard enough tying a ribbon, and having to pick between styles is another troublesome task, so what style does one pick for a Valentines day present? Easy, a heart of course, and it’s easier than you think! You begin like you would with any bow tie. A simple cross-diagonal to secure the bow to the present, and to make the process simpler we use a stapler. Why do we use a stapler? It makes tying the ribbon on the gift easy, and unwrapping the gift easier, just pull hard and watch it unwrap. A simple design like a heart allows the staples to snap-off easily when pulled apart.

A complete Valentines gift guide for her

Jonathan — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 23:40:26 +0000

The guys valentines gift guide, everything you need to know, so you don’t upset her over dinner or whatever plans you may have on Valentines day. The guide consist of different gifts for her, but also helps you identify areas you may have overlooked, so lets get started.

The Cute Couple
You know the couple that is always smiling, and finds laughter in the smallest of things, but also finds treasures in the cheesiest of gifts. That’s the cute couple, and it may be you, but the point we are trying to make is anyone can make the smallest of gifts a memorable one. If you’re going to get a key-chain as a valentines gift make sure it’s not generic, and get her a personalized key chain instead. A cheesy gift can still be one of the best gifts, but it’s all in the message or personalization. These following gifts are inexpensive but can be personalized with a great message, but don’t worry will give out some great examples. Let’s get started:

The key to a women’s heart is in the message, and a quirky and cute key chain gift set can still get the message across. It is all in the personalization of the gift, and a key to my heart and key chain set lets you personalize it, so it has personal and unique touch.
Love is a delightful reminder, and there is no better gift than one that reminds a couple of their anniversary. A special sweetheart silver ring is a perfect paired gift to express your sentiments. Two-hearts that beat as one.
Long business trips very few like them, especially your significant other, but getting them a gift that reminds them of you will help them feel at ease. A love photo keychain can be personalized with your very own photo, but also with a great message. Ex. “Missing you -John” reference below.

Memorable Gifts
It is no easy task, but it’s a rewarding experience when can you contribute to a smile with a momentous gift. This next section consist of gifts that leave a lasting impression, an impression that is sure to make this Valentines day a cherished memory. Here is your PRO tip:

Think about memories where she has been really surprised, or you have really impressed her, and try to incorporate that into your gift. You want to stay on the romantic track and not sway-off, so once you have an idea make it romantic and go for the win!

Memorable gifts are best shared, they are memories that don’t fade but get stronger as a relationship develops. Moving in together, first Christmas together, or even a significant step like shopping for a home together; these are unforgettable memories. A rarely seen present is a gift that compliments a memory. Another PRO TIP to keep in mind is a rare moment, which can be followed-up with a lovely gift that compliments a shared memory. Valentines is more than just being romantic it is also about gratitude and privilege of being in a relationship with a special person, sharing the best gift of life — shared memories. These are some great gifts that can capture unique memories in life.

Moving-in together is a big step and no couple can forget a memory like that, and like many of first memories, there are many new ones waiting to happen. Spending your first Valentines together in your new home is a milestone, and capitalizing on it can be great if you don’t have a gift, but think new housewarming gift. A vase, picture frame or a photo panel are great items that fill up a house, and makes it more home-like.
There are also many home items commonly used every day that would highlight a home, and would also make a perfect gift for valentines day. Personalized coasters are a fantastic gift that can be set on a coffee table or breakfast table, and it is also a talking piece that one can share with guests. It’s all about creativity, so will leave a separate segment below with a picture, and go more in depth.

Getting Creative with Gifts

A small and ordinary gift can still be one of a kind, but it is all in the creativity. Earlier we mentioned personalized coaster, what’s so great about them? You have to get creative, and think of a way that will surprise the recipient. There are many things you can do with a coaster, and it’s almost like a picture book with a few pages, so you’ll need to think about how you’re going to make it pop. One way to surprise her is by placing different action shots with a message. The photo coaster set here → holds up to 4, so something like this would work: 1st coaster “ Hey,(her name)” , 2nd coaster “I’ve had my eye on you”, 3rd “ Be my Valentines,(Your name here)” , and the last coaster would finish it off with a picture of you both. We hope this example helps, the best tip to keep on mind, is to be unique and creative, and think of something that will put a smile on her face or make her giggle.

For Tech Lovers!

Smart-phones what would we do without them?! We all know it’s hard to go without them for a full day, and we know she can’t either. A great valentines day gift is a surprise she’ll least expect, and a new case for her iPhone 4 is just it. It’s such a habit to just grab our phone’s in the morning, and get on with our day, but with a personalized iPhone 4s case she’ll be smiling all day. A case that will really surprise her is the Two heart that beat as one couples case, it’s a great way to start her day-off. She’ll be thinking all day of you, and when the dinner date comes around it’ll be that extra special when she can reunite her heart with yours. If you’re thinking about staying home, and cooking her a special dinner, make sure to get her something else that will surprise her. A romantic tea light candle holder is not just for a one time use it makes a terrific gift that can accompany any dinner, and it can be used for other occasions too. A treasured case isn’t easy to find, but making one of your own is easy. All it takes is a memorable picture to make it a unique case, and a treasured gift. It’s an easy gift to choose, but it just takes a little time to figure out which picture to use, so if you’re having a hard time ask friends and family.

What makes a perfect valentines day gift is in the planning and thought, and as cliche as it might sound it is the truth. No one knows your significant other better than you do. However, if you need help or need some ideas on getting creative leave us a comment, and will get back to you. Our last and final tip: don’t leave the shopping until the last minute.

A Complete Valentines gift guide for him

Jonathan — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 22:57:56 +0000

Our valentines gift guide covers different interests, and not just on one specific type of personality. We will guide you step-by-step on how gift experts think and visualize the right items to give. This quick crash-course will help you cross off Valentines on your to-do list faster than ever before. Let’s begin.

Gifts for the Active Lifestyle
He doesn’t necessarily need to be an athlete, but he may be a sports junkie or just a die hard fan of his Alma mater. However, this is were most have trouble picking a gift because a sporting goods present is just too obvious. These following ideas should help you paint a better picture of possible personalized gifts for him.

Get them a gift that drives their competitive spirit, a new gift for them to master, but make sure it’s feasible and fits their personality. A perfect gift for the modern outdoors man would be a personalized Swiss army wallet — it’s not your ordinary flip wallet — it’s made of aluminum to withstand the wear of time and the outdoors. It’s not just durable but also light, great for everyday use!
For the white collar, that day dreams of going pro every time he shoots into the waste basket from his desk, get him something new to occupy his mind when the work load is demanding. A successful person visualizes their goal, so help them with a gift that will clear their mind even in the most stressful situations. A magnetic dart board not only gets his competitive spirit up, but is also helps him concentrate on coordination. With this gift he won’t be wasting paper, or wasting time getting up to empty out his basket.
The weekends, every guys sanctuary and the perfect time to kickback and relax. Even the most active person finds himself looking forward to the weekends. Summer isn’t to far behind either, so why not get him a barbeque set, and let him dwell in his thoughts while flipping patties on a sunny day.

The element of surprise

For the mellow and laid back attitude, it can be hard to read what they’ll like, but there are moments that even surprises them. Remember how we mentioned earlier in the beginning that you could cross-off the first step, well the first step is knowing the person well, and that makes shopping for a valentines gift easier. Just think of memories were he was surprised in a good way, and think of gifts that will have the same effect!

Spending Valentines with a techie enthusiast? Get him a gift were he can charge all his gadgets, while still maintaining that “James Bond” essence. A black wooden charging station hides all the cords out of sight, elegant and incognito, a great gift for the aspiring undercover agent.
The brewer, a self thought scientist, not only enjoys making his own ale but loves adding items to his man cave. Great man cave essentials include: pint beer glass, personalized shot glasses, custom billiards sign, and personalized coasters. These are gifts that will help him relax from a stressful day at work.
The wine enthusiast — for the beginner and pro — get them a gift that will accentuate his growing collection. An elegant wine stopper, tops of the bottle with an elegant and personalized touch. For a more a complete wine enthusiast gift — get him a wine gift set — collections feature a corkscrew, collar, thermometer and wine pour stopper set.

If your date doesn’t fall into any of these personalities don’t panic, just sit back and think of gifts that will surprise him, and as we said before the first step is the easiest. This is a person you know well, and sometimes it just takes some time to sit down and jot down ideas. However, if you are still having a hard time thinking of a gift, ask friends and family for suggestions.

PRO TIP: Many don’t get the gifts they wanted for Christmas, so if you’re REALLY having a hard time thinking of a gift, get them the gift they really wanted to Christmas. It’s a last resort that’s effective, but just make sure he hasn’t had a change of heart in the the last two months.

Lessons learned from traveling and wine tasting

Jonathan — Fri, 23 Dec 2011 22:59:11 +0000

It’s thee time of the season again! Traveling and feasting, just a few to name make the holidays worthwhile! It’s also a perfect time to toast memorable memories with friends and families, and there is no better way than with a glass of wine.

I don’t know about you, but I worry more about the wine breaking on trips to visit family for holiday dinners, rather than thinking if they’ll like the presents I got them. I’ve been the go-to guy for wines ever since I picked up tasting classes, I don’t mind picking up a few bottles for a dinner, but transporting wine in a city known for it’s horrible stop and go traffic is a nightmare! If only you could fasten a seat-belt on a wine bottle, but that’s just wishful thinking on my part (don’t try this at home) — this isn’t the first time I’ve ran into this problem. I haven’t been the only one with this dilemma either. A friend of mine had a horrible wine bottle accident once going up the hills of San Francisco, well lets just say it snowed it in his car.

Let me give you the best solution to the problem, a wine case, and this was the most effective solution I found after dozens of other methods. I tried wrapping it in a towel, stuffing it under my seat, wrapping it in paper and placing it in a duffel bag, but none of these “solutions” offered a guaranteed safe arrival. It wasn’t until I finally decided that technology was my best buddy, and a case designed and tested for travel could be no better choice. Apart from trips to visit family, they are great for wine tasting in Napa Valley. There is noting like taking a nice long walk throw the winery, and having a glass of wine with friends in the open.

The wine case has been really beneficial when using public transportation, it provides security and protection, and peace of mind. I’ve dropped countless things on the BART and MUNI, and that floor is unforgiving, so when I’m taking or picking-up wine I make sure to have my travel case. It sure is catching on too, and I don’t know if it’s just a trend or because it looks nice, but glad to see more people getting out and trying wine. While this post may be a little late to serve as a mini-holiday gift guide, I hope it serves you in picking great wine accessories for wine enthusiasts!

Traveling wine enthusiast’s have some of the riches stories to share, they embark on journeys that can only guarantee them a glass of wine. I know from my own personal experience that even trips have their memorable memories. Other experiences such as the surrounding textures, colors, and experiences cannot be described by reviews read online or on travel guides. They are unique and rare experiences of traveling that have not been tainted by the opinions of others. It’s a personal experience that makes traveling worthwhile, and it’s the only occurrence were unique memories and events makes any experience that extra special. Which brings us to why it is essential to be able to cherish and enjoy the experience of traveling. A wine gift set not only provides a sense of security but, it keeps the wine at its best tasting condition, so when the time is right it’s bound to be a true moment of euphoria.

Happy Holidays Everyone from the Staff at Memorablegifts.com!

We have a new memorable gift that Siri is going to thank you for!

Jonathan — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 23:49:36 +0000

It’s high tech — it’s a lean, mean fighting machine — and it’s all concealed in a beautiful, sleek and elegant design. What are we talking about? It’s the phone that changed the entire industry, an industry that has created a thriving new economy, the iPhone. Love the new features in your iPhone 4s and Siri too?! Keep her safe from scratches with a personalized iPhone case. You don’t have to browse any further to find the right iPhone case anymore, starting today you can find cases for all occasions at MemorableGifts.com! Our personalized cases fit the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4s. It took us some time to find the perfect case with the quality to withstand everyones daily needs, but we found one that met our high standards. It’s a product that we are proud of, and truly represents our excellent service. The iPhone 4 and 4s cases are constructed from a heavy duty plastic that is easy to snap-on as well as a tight fit, but it also maintains flexibility when snapping off. One of the most valuable aspects of the case was the strength of the back. Replacing a damaged or broken glass on the backing of an iPhone costs around $30 dollars, so we made sure the material on our case was strong enough to take an impact of that magnitude. The metal backing on the case protects the iPhone’s glass backing, and it doesn’t add volume to the phone. Siri will thank you for this memorable gift! Siri will still be able to keep her sleek figure without gaining weight, just a little over 100th of an ounce. Best of all she won’t ever be at the hands of an Apple genius, and you’ll save yourself a trip too! What more could you ask for?

Did you say a fantastic price?… Well, your in for a treat! Our iPhone 4 and 4s cases can be found in our under $25 gift section. Yes, you heard right under $25, and it’s personalized for…FREE!

We have other designs located in our specialty shop under Personalized iPhone cases. This is the first collection of many more to come! If you have any questions or suggestions? Leave us comment here or on our Facebook Fan Page.

Gift Ideas – Top 5 Gifts this Holiday season

Jonathan — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 16:41:40 +0000

It is always easier to find gifts for yourself, especially during Black Friday, from technology to the latest fall clothing line. However, that is not the case when it comes to finding gifts for others. Every year there is always that one person we have trouble coming up with a gift idea, and giving out a gift card just does not seem right. We may think of clothing as a great gift, but they to have barriers; what size, color, or texture would the person like? These are just a few to name. It is only natural to feel overwhelmed with so many things to consider, but there is one item that many overlook during the holidays. Personalized and engraved gifts offer a great deal of unique and personal value. A great gift not just for relatives but also others. These are our 5 top Holidays gifts for this season for family and friends.

Personalized Gifts for Couples

What do you get a couple for the holidays? Well it can’t be anything that would appeal to one or the other. A gift for a couple should be an item that they both will appreciate and want to display. A traditional keepsake is an engraved picture frame perfect for a couples first Christmas. “Our first Christmas” or “First Christmas Together” are ideal engravings for this gift followed by the couples name. Candle holders, Glass flutes and wine stoppers are also great items for couples that can be personalized. Gifts for couples are on the rise this holiday with more people looking to cut back on expenses so shop early.

Personalized Gifts for Him

Shopping for guys can be real difficult, even man find themselves dumbfounded on what to get each other. It’s always easier to shop for athletes and sport fanatics, but for others it really takes some time to sit down and think of ideas. Christmas gift ideas for men are even harder, but these personalized gifts are great for any guy. If there’s one thing we could all use that be more organization in our life’s, and a charging station makes a great gift. It’s great item to organize all the essential items that accompany many people, and for men that’s their wallets, keys, gum, and cell phones. This unique gift can be engraved with a name on the bronze plate for that extra personal touch.

Personalized Gifts for Her

Christmas gifts for women are harder to think of if you are a guy, or if it is a relative you have not seen in a while. Naturally a recent interaction would make finding a gift easier, but there is always that one relative that comes around more often during the holidays, and yet they are never around through out the year. Whatever your search may be this holiday, a beautiful and timeless keepsake box has always been a top contender in the Top 10 gifts for women. It is a lovely gift that is flexible and can be used to store all sorts of items, but the most valuable attribute is the lasting impression it leaves with an engraving. Chocolates and flowers may be nice, but that memory will only last a two weeks at best. There’s a reason more shoppers are looking at gifts that last by shopping for personalized gifts.

Personalized Gifts for Babies

Gifts for babies and newborns always seems to leave people between two choices, toys or clothes. Picking baby gifts is difficult, but it is best to leave clothing and toys to parents since they are more personal items. Not only are they personal but many items have age restrictions that may not be suitable for infants. Since most parents invest in clothes and toys, keepsakes offer a valuable use to preserve a memory like a first Christmas or first birthday. A personalized birth certificate holder not only looks fantastic but also preserves a valuable document in a safe place.

Personalized gift for Grandparents

A memory is a beautiful treasure to grandparents; their first moments are a true keepsake, and it would only be appropriate to preserve them. Fantastic gifts for grandparents are personalized photo treasure keepsake boxes filled with their favorite photographs. It is a gift that they can relate to unlike digital photos, and photographs have a physical touch that is more personal. It is a marvelous way to bond over memories and share stories during the holidays that are also a perfect gift for parents too!

A personalized gift for an All-American Hero

Jonathan — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 23:25:41 +0000

More U.S. Military heroes are starting to comeback home, and the job market is starting to see a gleam of light, with 9% unemployment more citizens are optimistic going into the holidays. It’s great news for both Military personnel and civilians looking forward to a new and prosperous year. An obstacle that many face when looking for personalized gifts, is coming up with some great inspirational items. Great ideas and help are hard to come by when folks have their mind set on other issues affecting their economic,health, and living related responsibilities. It’s not that hard to stumble along the process of finding some great gifts, but these ideas should help make it an easier find.

Many people often run into a dilemma when picking a gift for U.S. military personnel. Thinking of gifts that will have a sentimental impact is difficult, so we have picked some of our favorite items to help you out. The gifts we have picked are a great way of thanking them for their service, and they can also be personalized with their name, along with a special message engraved.

Our first item is a symbol that they carry on their hearts, and has been the main source of motivation and dedication for many soldiers, the American flag.

A Liberty Bell Resin with Oval Plaque expresses true patriotism, a symbol that upholds all that is American and its virtues. A great gift to thank someones hard work and dedication to his country and family. It embodies the virtues instilled into this great country since 1776, and uses modern techniques to add color and precision to a very sentimental piece. The American flag shines bright and clear on this great piece, but for a more personalized option, we look at gifts that cater to different military branches.

It’s hard to say that this is our favorite item, but it is a top contender, the Statue of Liberty Resin Figure with Bronze Finish capitalizes on all that is American. It’s majestic pose embodies a symbol of freedom that has been the first sight of Americana for many visitors, but also an iconic symbol that represents a strong foundation. A great pillar and gift for anyone in the Navy, Army, Marine or Air force – four great choices to pick from. Just like the strong and sturdy foundation of the Statue of liberty, this gift will endure the wear of time, constructed to last generations.

If a bronze finish is not the look you are going for, than the curved vertical glass is a great choice, it has a sophisticated design that will compliment any setting. It comes with a gold frame of 5″ x 7″ , so you can place your favorite photo of your hero. If you are looking for a piece that has the military’s branch he/she pertains to, than this is the gift to go with. Available military branches that can be personalized are Army, Marines and Air Force. This is one of the very few pieces that can be customized extensively to really be unique and one of a kind. There is no other gift like this one that goes into detail to express your gratitude for their service. Thank your Hero coming home with a gift that he/she will cherish for years, a great keepsake and memory that lives on through a gift.
