Personalized Gift Ideas and Teacher Gifts

I love personalized gifts! They look like a lot of extra thought was put into the gift, even if you didn’t spend a ton of time on it…if it says my name, you just blew me away!! I ordered some fun, personalized gifts and wanted to share! They turned out beyond darling!

Thank you Minted for sponsoring this post

Heart Snapshot Photo

Loved the idea of turning photos into a piece of art! I really wanted to document our first year with a pool, and the photos of it coming together. Having a pool has always been a big dream for Kevin and I, and being able to make that dream come true this past year was something I didn’t want to forget. This is going to be a family gift I know they will all love.

You could create a Heart Snapshot Photo for someone who was recently married, for a parent with photos of a family vacation or staycation, even babies first year would be darling!!! Now I wish I had one for my babies….I guess it is never too late to create one!

Looks so pretty in a bookcase or grouped with other art. I did it 11″x11″ with the matte copper frame (I always have Minted frame my art, well priced and great quality).

Custom House Letterpress Portrait–

I was really drawn to having a photo of our house turned into a custom piece of art! We know we won’t be in this home forever and we will want something to remember CT by. This would make a great gift for siblings of your childhood home or a parents first home! Have tissues on hand, tears would flow for sure.

Custom Puzzle

If you have puzzle obsessed kids, I can’t recommend this gift enough!!! I got Finn this Deep Dive puzzle. He opened the box when it came, so I let him have the gift early. He got a kick out of his face on the puzzle!

I ordered our family this 252 piece puzzle from our recent family vacation (I got one for my sister too). We watched a Christmas movie, ate peppermint popcorn and put it together!

We draw names for the cousins, so we ordered my 3 year old nephew this firetruck puzzle! I think he will love it!

Custom Notebook Journal–

I get my girls journals every year, I know they are going to love their custom journals!!

Personalized Snap Tote–

The last gift idea, but one of my favorites, is a personalized tote. It makes a great gift for anyone! Love this gift for teachers or someone who works outside the home. Speaking of teachers….here are some gift ides for them!!

Gift Ideas for Teachers

Print this out HERE and have your kids fill it in for their teacher. Lola and her friend were so excited when I handed them this paper to fill in.

Teachers do not want mugs. I repeat no mugs. I asked the teachers on my Instagram what gifts they want most, I am going to let you in on a secret, they really love a hand written card.

Gift cards are always a good choice! Is there a cute local shop, a yummy restaurant nearby, a retail store, Amazon, or even a Starbucks? Can’t go wrong with Starbucks! Pair gift cards with… Chocolate! Trader Joes is a personal favorite for fun and delicious chocolate treats and gifts!

Basket with chips, salsa and dip!

Hand Soap and a Turkish Towel

Blanket and linen spray

A Book, The Great Realization is a fun choice for this year. (Especially If they like to read to their class).
