It doesn’t matter whether you see them every day or find the opportunity to catch up on the phone only once a year, your parents are people who mean a lot and hold a special place in your heart. Now that we’re firmly here in the year 2012, take some time to show them you appreciate everything they do, from the £10 they sent to cover your last phone bill to the efforts they made planning your extravagant, expensive wedding.

Our personalised gifts for mum are wonderful presents she’s sure to appreciate. It won’t take a fortune to make her smile – just a thoughtful present such as the engraved compact mirror pictured above, costing less than £15 with a message of your choice up to sixty characters in length. Our personalised presents can be given for mum’s birthday or to say ‘thanks’, but they’re guaranteed to really make her feel special if they’re given ‘just because’. Surprise her with a present delivered to her door when she’s least expecting it.

For dad, buy some of our engraved personalised playing cards for his regular games of poker, or a personalised wallet  for all his winnings. Presents for your parents don’t need to cost a lot, but with a little thought they can be items that are treasured forever, used day after day or put proudly on display. Your parents have been with you since the start of your life taking you to school, to various parties and on those miserable annual shopping trips to buy a new pair of shoes for school. Our gifts are ideal for showing how much you appreciate their efforts, and we offer next-day delivery in case the idea that you want to treat your mum or dad is a total surprise to you!

For both mum and dad, our engraved wine glasses are a stunning present that will look beautiful in a display cabinet, and will be just as treasured as a practical present to be used night after night. At just under £30 for a pair, they’re an affordable choice for presents on a budget and come complete in a presentation box that’s guaranteed to satisfy mum’s need for organisation. Each glass can be individually engraved, so you can have one for each parent and they’ll always know whose is whose.

And if you’re looking for a gift that will look great in any home, buy them a personalised wooden photo frame with space for ‘Mum’, ‘Dad’ and a short message of your choice. Like all of our gifts, our personalised photo frames can be wrapped in advance, giving them the professional touch. You might not convince your dad you’ve become an expert in gift-wrapping, but he’s sure to be impressed all the same.

Our personalised gifts for dad and for mum suit every budget and every taste. All they need is a message from you to make them complete. See below for three quotes about parents and family, and express your feelings in words.

- A happy family is but an earlier heaven.

- ‘Mother’ is a verb. It’s something you do, not just who you are.

- One father is more than a hundred schoolmasters.

Don’t forget Valentine’s Day is less than two weeks away and you will have to think fast as to what you’re going to get as a gift for the one you love.

We’ve got everything, from the engraved photo keyring pictured above to engraved glasses for him and her. We’ve got a fantastic selection of Valentine’s gifts for a wife, a girlfriend, a fiancée or fiancé, a boyfriend or a husband. Our chocolate bars are a great gift for a casual relationship or a new one, and are just as ideal for a couple giving cheap presents to save some money this Valentine’s Day, because we understand times are hard. In fact, if you’re really looking for a last-minute gift and don’t expect to see the one you love on February 14th, our chocolate bars are small enough to fit in an envelope and be delivered through their letterbox. Order a bar, write out your card and post the two together, and your partner will never know just how close you cut it!

Our personalised swarovski crystal wine glasses are the perfect romantic gifts for couples and a lovely accompaniment to a romantic meal:

Our Valentine’s gifts don’t seem like last minute presents. They’re not presents that come from the bargain bin of your local discount store, and they’re not generic presents you’ll find in any chain supermarket. Your girlfriend’s probably seen more flowers than she cares to remember, or your husband might be tired of another bottle of aftershave. If you’re not trying to hint that he’s let his personal hygiene go a little, then take some time to get a gift that shows him your thoughtful, romantic side isn’t something you’ve let go, either.

Our personalised last-minute Valentine’s Day gifts for men include our wallets, made of high quality materials to be a gift manufactured to last. He’ll think of you every time he reaches into his pocket to buy himself something – in the long run, it might mean extra gifts for you! We don’t advocate bribery, but a thoughtful personalised is sure to work in your favour more than an item you could have purchased anywhere.

If your loved one is a fan of all things cute and cuddly, we’ve got exactly what you need. We sell a selection of personalised stuff toys including bunnies, bears and dogs, because some people never grow out of those artificial snuggles, even when they’ve got someone real to cuddle up to. They’ll really appreciate a personalised rabbit toy bearing a message of love or romance, and you’ll enjoy the grateful smile that comes from giving the perfect gift, even if you found it with only a day or two to spare.

When it comes to buying last-minute Valentine’s Day presents for her or him, we’re the experts offering the best presents personalised or engraved to make a totally unique gift. We’ve got personalised jewellery for men and women, as well as a huge selection of individual gifts to suit any budget. Buy personalised gifts online now, wait for them to arrive with our next-day delivery service, and don’t feel like you need to worry about wrapping them up because we’re happy to do that too!

If you’re preparing for a wedding, you’ve undoubtedly got a lot to think about. There’ll be flowers to sort out, there’ll be suits and dresses to buy, you’ll have to think about your music choices and then you face the little issue of gifts for wedding guests. Wedding favours usually slip to the back of your mind. They’re seen as the ‘little extra’, and are considered a cheap present for all in attendance. What some fail to realise until it’s much too late is that cheap wedding favours mount up when you have fifty or a hundred people to buy for. That’s why we’re pleased to offer these:

The personalised wedding favours pictured above are just 40p each. You can buy a minimum of fifty, and you’ll have your wedding covered for just £20. Mini wedding chocolates weigh 10 grams each, and are sure to be appreciated displayed on the table or placed neatly inside a wine glass for your guests to find and enjoy. On a slightly bigger budget you can buy our romantic personalised mini chocolates, or you can treat all guests to a large personalised wedding favour in the form of a full chocolate bar costing just £1.99, made of luxury milk, dark or white chocolate as required.

Chocolates are sure to be appreciated at any wedding, and they’re a great choice if your ceremony and reception involve something a little different. We cater to weddings with a difference, with personalised and unique gifts for all your wedding guests. Some people like to enjoy their wedding reception on the ice, and some say their vows hundreds of feet in the air. Your wedding day should be as unique and special as you are, and so should your cake!

Our personalised wedding cake toppers are hand-crafted in your likeness. You send your photograph, and we work our magic to send you a completely original topper made from Fimo, so it’ll last forever. We can put the bride and groom in football shirts, in the actual clothes you’ll wear on your wedding day or in your work-wear. We can add Fido the dog, the groom’s beloved sports car, the family cats or your son or daughter. Small accessories are included, and we can even add the elephant you sponsor at your local zoo!

Now that you’re thinking about your unique cake, you might be wondering if you’re giving it the ceremony it deserves. Traditionally, the cutting of the wedding cake was a big show and a momentous part of the day, but more and more it’s taking place quickly in a corner, or behind closed doors. When you cut the cake at your wedding, feel free to make a song and dance of it! Don’t be shy – your guests want some of that cake as much as you do! Our engraved cake knife and server are a glamorous touch, and they can be treasured forever as an important reminder of such a special, shared moment.

On your wedding day, you’re the centre of attention. You want to be sure that you’re happy, that your guests are happy and that you’re building memories to last a lifetime. Go all out, and treat yourself to some of our unique personalised wedding gifts adding a truly special touch.  On the day of your marriage, you deserve nothing less than the best.

In late 2011, a survey carried out on the subject of gifts and indulgence showed interesting results. In Britain, the average person treats themselves to gifts costing just over £60, each and every month. Typically, men spend just over £70 on themselves and women spend just over £50 – but what about gifts for other people?

The fact of the matter is that most people don’t really know how much they should be spending on an anniversary gift. Others are on a tight budget. Either way, you’ll be pleased to know that gifts for others don’t need to cost anywhere near as much as you spend on yourself each month. If you’re feeling your purse or wallet getting lighter and lighter, look for great anniversary gifts for under £20.

Buy the right gift, and your partner need never know or care that you spent on them less than half of what you’d spend on yourself. Gifts that are personalised come straight from the heart, and when the one you love recognises that, the finances won’t matter. You might be trying to save money for a special occasion, for your first home together or for starting a family.

Why spend more than you have to when there are cheap anniversary gifts guaranteed to be treasured forever? If you’re feeling generous, you can use the extra cash to treat your loved one to a romantic dinner at their favourite restaurant. If you’re not, buy a gift such as the engraved compact mirror pictured above and you can still take her for a burger at a fast food place for under £20.

If you’re not the only one that loves their money, treat your husband to one of our high quality personalised wallets, for his own cash. Or, buy an engraved money clip as pictured above for all his extra notes. Including his initials, either gift will offer a way for him to keep his money safe and remind himself regularly that it is, most definitely, his.

If he loves golf, buy our golf marker and tee set, or a chunky golf pint tankard like the one above. Both are great anniversary gifts for less than £20, and both can be personalised for a unique touch to show how much you care. Or, if you’re looking for cheap anniversary gifts for her, buy an engraved wine glass for under £11, or a beautiful personalised vase she can fill with the flowers you regularly bring home by way of an apology.

Personalised wedding anniversary gifts are presents that come straight from the heart. They’re items that can be treasured for years to come, and ours are as strong as your relationship with the one you love thanks to our high standards of manufacturing quality. To set you off on the right foot, here are five quotes above love and relationships that would make a great addition to your personalised anniversary present of choice:

- If I had a flower for every time you made me smile or laugh, I’d have a garden to walk in forever.

- We are all weird, and life’s a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it ‘love’.

- Love isn’t finding someone you can live with, it’s finding someone you can’t live without.

- Love is friendship set on fire.

- Love is like a mountain – hard to climb – but when you get to the top the view is beautiful!

It’s very likely that you spend more waking hours with your colleagues and workmates than you do with your families and loved ones. It’s possible you sit with them for eight hours a day, every weekday, and still find the time to walk to the pub at close of play on Friday for celebratory drinks, or to drown the week’s sorrows. You occasionally have to work overtime at their side, and you pass an infinite number of e-mails back and forth from Monday to Friday, or sit by their side at the weekend dealing with a variety of difficult customers. You should be close to your colleagues, but many people fail to choose the right gifts for the people they work with. Thankfully, our personalised birthday gifts are great for your colleagues, and sure to reflect the time you spend with them.

No matter where you work, those tea and coffee breaks will be an integral part of your day. They break the monotony, they get people talking and they offer that much-needed boost as the afternoon wears on. Our personalised tea and coffee mugs make a great choice for a birthday gift for a colleague. The next time you make their hot drink, be sure to note how much milk and sugar they take. Then, buy one of our mugs personalised with their tea or coffee order, and labelled with their name. Now, they’re always ready for that next break.

If you want something more suited to a specific office personality, read on for great gifts for every member of staff.

The Boss

Who else could we start with? Gifts for your boss might be a little hard to find, but you’ll find few better than a personalised leather organiser for all those important meetings, including the one to discuss your next payrise!

The Receptionist

The office receptionist is sure to appreciate a practical gift for those long days by the desk. Pick our stylish engraved desk tidy, complete with space for a picture of her cute pet dog, and give her the motivation to keep on greeting those visitors.

The Cold-Caller

No doubt any cold-callers in your office suffer a mind-numbing and soul crushing fate. Every day, it’s their job to speak to people that don’t want to talk to them. Give them something to smile about with our personalised playing cards for a game of solitaire on their lunch break.

The Customer Service Assistant

Customer service assistants have a lot to deal with. Unhappy customers, happy customers and customers that don’t seem to understand what they’re saying. Treat them to a beautiful engraved wine glass, for the drinks they’ll go home to night after night as they wind down from a day of dealing with people.

The Cleaner

The cleaner can sometimes be forgotten. They get up long before everyone else or they visit late at night, carrying out the job that keeps your workplace safe and hygienic without any recognition for their efforts. If it’s their birthday, leave a gift for them to find and brighten up their day. A personalised vase is sure to be appreciated – every cleaner understands the value of adding beauty to a room, and they’ll love a vessel for their favourite flowers.

The Office Clown

Always making efforts to keep spirits up, the office clown deserves a gift that reflects their fun personality. Choose an engraved yo-yo to keep them occupied for hours.

The Newbie

You might not know the newest addition to the company too well, but if they’ve been clever enough to arrive just in time for a birthday gift there are generic options that make great birthday gifts for someone you’ve only just met. You can’t go wrong with a personalised jar of sweets. Particularly when they’re looking to make friends and will probably offer the sugary snacks around!

Whoever you’re buying for, our birthday gifts for colleagues are fantastic personalised choices. You see your workmates day in, day out – get them a gift that shows you care.

The saying “a picture is worth a thousand words” is so true and when it comes to buying Valentines day gifts for the one you love. We have the best valentines day gift idea in this respect a personalised photo frame – not only does a picture convey the memories of a loved one or an occasion, we can also personalise the picture frame with your very own romantic message!

The valentines photo frame as shown above holds any 7×5 photograph and is available in portrait and landscape. This personalised photograph frame is an ideal gift for any couple and an ideal gift for a boyfriend, girlfriend or husband and wife.  This picture frame is designed especially for that very special photograph of a couple, the top and bottom of this wooden photo frame can be engraved with his or her name and any romantic message or verse below.

We also have a silver love heart keyring which can be engraved with any message and holds two small photographs and is a beautiful photo gift which will be carried by the recipient wherever they go as a reminder of that special person. This silver keyring is beautifully engraved with any message up to 60 characters.

We have many photo frames and keyrings available which are ideal for engraving a romantic message. We can also despatch valentines day gifts quickly and are able to deliver presents at short notice using our next day delivery service including saturday delivery.

What makes a perfect wedding?

For some, it’s a quiet event held far from everyone they know. An anonymous wedding that’s quick and painless. For others, the only wish is that Great Aunt Mildred on the bride’s side and Grandma Lilly on the groom’s side don’t get talking about their strong, opposing political views. Others have a more magical vision – they want to be the prince and princess gliding around, the centre of attention with everyone watching. Much like the gowns and dresses that can take a year to buy and fit, weddings aren’t one-size-fits-all. That’s why it’s important that gifts and accessories aren’t, either.

Wedding purchases start long before the special day. Some are from guests, planning ahead, and some are from the bride and groom for their most valued wedding guests. On top of all that, there’s the guest book to think about. The bride and groom need somewhere guests can share their memories, congratulate the happy couple and give their (positive) opinions on the wedding celebrations. The right guest book can be the perfect touch alongside a wedding album, to be brought out to admire for many, many years. Pictured above, our wedding guest book features space to engrave a message of your choice, or the name of the bride and groom above the date of the wedding. We include a pen and heart-shaped pen stand, leaving you nothing to worry about.

You’ll have to think about the cake, too. Our beautiful glass wedding cake toppers (seen above) are wonderful personalised wedding gifts include the happy couple’s surname initial, and are the ideal finishing touch to a wonderful tiered wedding cake. When it’s time to cut and serve, our engraved diamanté cake knife and server are a unique and stylish statement. Both the cake topper and the knife and server are items that can be kept forever, each coming in a lovely presentation box to ensure they stay safe and last a lifetime. Meanwhile, if you’re looking for something that will add a little comedy touch, choose our personalised wedding toppers that have to be seen to be believed. Many people go for a generic bride and groom, but with our toppers you get Fimo figurines hand-crafted to look like the bride and groom, in their team football shirts, their work uniforms or the actual clothes they’ll wear on their special day. Unique!

Eventually, it’ll be time for the wedding. Whether you’ve invited a couple of witnesses or your extended family including cousins twice-removed, you’ll want to know that you’re running the perfect day for yourself and those who care. Our wedding gifts are as unique as your wedding guests, and suit every guest of every age. When it comes to gifts for the mother and father of the bride or groom, you can’t go far wrong with engraved glasses, such as the one pictured below:

Gifts for bridesmaids and flower girls don’t get much better than our personalised flutes:

And for the ushers, pageboys and best man, gifts we sell include soft toys for the little ones and our personalised traditional pint tankards ideal for older wedding helpers:

Finally, it’s time to think about your other wedding guests. Favours on the tables during the wedding breakfast can really brighten their day. We’ve got a variety of personalised chocolate bars in various shapes and sizes in our personalised wedding favours collection, and they include our miniatures, pictured below, with a minimum order of just fifty chocolates.

Make your wedding a memorable one for all involved with unique, thoughtful gifts from Keep It Personal.

As the mother, father, brother, sister, grandma, granddad, aunt or uncle of a child being christened, you possess a truly unique role. You might not have been assigned the honour of being a godparent, but as a family member you’re sure to care about the upbringing of the youngster in question. You’ll want the best for them from the moment they’re born, and our personalised Christening gifts are perfect as presents from caring family members.

It can sometimes be difficult to find christening gifts for boys. Typically, christenings are dainty occasions with laced frocks, silver jewellery and an abundance of cooing and broody sighs. No doubt if you’re the family member of a boy being christened, you’ll want to get something he’ll appreciate for many years to come. As pictured above, we’ve got a selection of silver money boxes a boy is sure to love. Trains, planes, cars, diggers and pirate ships are all on our list, as well as the football boot we’ve shown.

For girls, christening gifts are far easier to find. There are plenty of options out there, but you won’t want something generic. That’s why we’ve worked hard to bring you unique christening gifts that would be wonderful anyway, but are simply unbeatable with personalisation and space for a thoughtful message.

If you’re someone particularly important to the child that’s due to be christened, be the one that saves the day and stops hundreds of photographs being locked in a box and kept out of view for years. In all the panic of trying to organise a stress-free christening, mum and dad sometimes forget those important little extras that might be taken for granted. Our personalised photo albums include a satin-lined album dedicated to baby’s christening and the engraved silver album pictured above. Both of these, and our other albums, can be a wonderful gift allowing those embarrassing pictures to be kept in pristine condition until his or her first partner gets brought home to meet the family.

If you’re looking for traditional christening gifts cutlery, as pictured above, can make a wonderful present. Many places sell silver cutlery in a beautiful display box for baby’s christening, but few offer a gift that can be cherished as much as our engraved, personalised  options for a baby boy or girl. We sell personalised christening candles with baby’s photo, name and christening date on, and of course we’ve got a unique and beautiful Bible to be given as a gift that will guide a little one through life.

Last but not least, turn to our personalised christening jewellery for items as beautiful as him or her. We’ve got bracelets for boys as well as girls, as well as the silver cross pendant pictured above. Our jewellery comes in beautiful presentation boxes so they can be stored away for when baby’s all grown up, or can be worn on the day to look great in all of those photographs.

When you’re buying gifts for christenings, don’t worry if you’re running a little late. We offer next-day delivery, and we’re able to wrap any gift in advance. Here at Keep It Personal, we’ve got gifts for babies that you won’t find anywhere else.

If you’re soon to be celebrating your wedding anniversary, you’ve no doubt studied the traditional gift list. You’re supposed to give paper as 1st anniversary gifts, cotton second and leather third. Each year, the gifts get more extravagant, and each year you’ll be struggling for weeks to find something appropriate, but did you know that the traditional list isn’t the only one available? There’s a modern anniversary gift list, and it’s becoming an increasingly popular choice. It defines anniversary gifts in a whole new way, and it begins with ‘clocks’.

Clocks are the modern 1st anniversary present. They represent time spent together, and times still to come. Our personalised clock can be engraved with a message of your choice, and you can choose from a selection of fonts to make it even more unique. We offer picture engraving if it’s required, and deliver our quality clocks perfectly packaged to ensure they reach you in excellent condition.

Under the modern anniversary gift list, 5th wedding anniversary gifts should be silverware. That gives you plenty of choice, from our personalised silver jewellery to our gorgeous photo keyrings:

The traditional gift for a 10th anniversary is tin, but on the modern list it’s diamond jewellery. That might sound more expensive, but with our engraved cufflinks for under £15 and our diamond cross pendant for less than £20, we’ve got cheap anniversary gifts for men and women covered.

Your 15th wedding anniversary is typically recognised as crystal, but that’s recognised in your third year of marriage under the modern system, alongside glass giving you the opportunity to buy any of our lovely engraved glasses. In exchange, your 15th anniversary gifts should now be watches. Our personalised pocket watches, as seen below, are a unique gift for the man in your life. You can choose a message for the front and a separate one for the back, or we can engrave one side with the recipient’s initials. Like all of our gifts, our engraved pocket watches are manufactured to the very highest quality.

The silver anniversary stays the same on the modern list, giving you the choice of silver jewellery, or of our beautiful silver photo frames. You can choose a silver compact mirror engraved with a message of love, or give a wonderful heart-shaped trinket. We’re specialists in personalised silver gifts for every occasion, and we’ve got everything you need for a silver anniversary that won’t pass without celebration.

Remember, it’s never too late to choose to follow the modern wedding anniversary gift structure instead of the traditional one. Make the change before your fifth, tenth or fiftieth wedding anniversary. Or, if you’re not a fan of structure, choose whatever you like from our extensive range of personalised anniversary gifts suiting every budget and every taste.

Our gifts can be wrapped professionally, making you look great if you’ve not been with your partner for long enough for them to know your true level of skill, and they can be delivered next-day if you’ve forgotten again. Pick out a personalisation, give your message of love and make your loved one smile whether you’re a traditional couple or a modern one.

Here at Keep It Personal, we think a wedding anniversary is something to really be celebrated, whether you believe in the traditional years and what they represent or want to do things your own way. We’ve got anniversary gifts modern, traditional and completely out of the ordinary, including personalised anniversary gifts and anniversary gifts made of specific materials for those special years.

1st anniversary gifts can be particularly hard to find. You probably don’t have a lot of money to spare, and you’re asked to find a gift that involves paper if you follow the traditional wedding anniversary list. We suggest a leather organiser, personalised with your own message. It contains high quality paper inside, and it’s got card slots and a zip compartment to hold coins, pens and other odds and ends. We don’t believe you’ll get better than that for a paper anniversary gift, and since it’s also leather it can be used for your third wedding anniversary if you’re already past the first! If you’re looking for a 1st anniversary gift for her, we’ve also got stunning silver notepads with personalised pens that she’s sure to really love.

Before you know it, the years are ticking on. 5th wedding anniversary gifts should be made of wood, and our beautiful wooden photo frames, personalised for the one you love, make a wonderful unique present. Hand one over with your favourite picture of the two of you together, or pick out a picture from the very first time you met. Your anniversary is a time to look back on your years together and celebrate – our personalised wooden photo frame is sure to help with that.

We believe in pushing the boundaries of tradition a little. Rather than getting something made of tin for a tenth anniversary present, why not go for an actual tin, instead? We’ve got a selection of beautiful trinket boxes that’d make a great wedding anniversary gift for women, including our beautiful antique trinket box for women with plenty of class. We have traditional and contemporary heart-shaped trinket boxes that let her know how much you care and we’ve got personalised jewellery cases with beautiful designs on the front.

Our personalised wine glasses with beautiful Swarovski crystals are the perfect 15th anniversary gift. They’re elegant, high quality pieces that shine as bright as the love of your life, and they can be engraved with any message to let your partner know just how much you love them. We offer these in a stunning satin-lined presentation box, and like all of our gifts they’re available with next day delivery so they’ll be with you in no time.

We’ve got a huge selection of gifts for a 25th anniversary, too. Our personalised silver gifts suit any budget, and we’ve got personalised anniversary gifts for under £20 as well as expensive gifts that make a real statement. The sewing kit above comes in a gorgeous personalised silver case for just over £20, or if you’re looking for something even cheaper you can’t go wrong with a silver personalised lighter as a silver anniversary gift for under £10.

For your 30th wedding anniversary, gift options include our beautiful freshwater pearl bracelets that look elegant on the wrist of any woman, and for all those other anniversaries after and in between we’ve got a whole selection of personalised gifts that you can choose for your occasion. Let your imagination lead you to the perfect anniversary gift for man or woman, and trust us to provide our fantastic service complete with professional gift wrapping if you need a little helping hand.
