Have you received a personalized gift before? Have you seen a kid get one? It’s so fun seeing their faces light up when they see their name. Personalized gifts have kinda been my thing, especially since I opened our Zazzle shop.
Some of my favorite creations are for children. That’s because I have 4 children (2 girls and 2 boys) who keep me connected with the latest and coolest things.
This puts me in a bit of an advantage. I’ve learned to be sensitive to trends based on what they like, and what other kids their age love too. (My research and development team as I lovingly refer to them.)
Our children have had some favorites depending on their ages. It seems to come in stages.
For the girls they’re top 5 favorites are:
Unicorns
Mermaids
Llamas
Flamingos
Princess (especially the Disney kind) and other cartoon characters (Peppa Pig, My Little Pony, Wonder Woman etc.)
(With Disney’s Frozen 2 being so cool, my daughter has just reminded me that Elsa and Anna, the whole Frozen cast is being talked about at school. Know anyone who loves Frozen as well?)
For the boys they’re top 5 favorites are:
Animals (ie. dinosaurs, farm animals or wild animals)
Vehicles, cars, trains, boats
Balls and sports, basketball, baseball, hockey etc.
Outer Space (Star Wars, Buzz light year, Guardians of the galaxy)
Favorite cartoon characters and video game characters (Elmo, Marvel, Mickey, Mario, Pac Man, Paw Patrol)
Giving them a gift that incorporates their favorite things show how much you know them. And when you personalize it with their name…well you’ve just blown them away.
Children love seeing their names. It’s that special word that brings a personal touch and makes the present unique and their very own.
Gift ideas
I wanted to share some of the fun and trendy ideas. Some from our own creations and other licensed products Zazzle carries. It’s amazing the type of products you can personalize and add a name onto.
Discover personalized watches, cosmetic bags, notebooks, pillows, blankets, carry-on luggage, laptop cases, phone cases, t-shirts, ottoman seating poufs, lamps, water bottles, skateboards and more.
Play with each design by instantly customizing each one using the website tools. Have fun!
