Clever Customs / LAST CALL

I've saved the best-for-last gift ideas here. Lucky for you, even if they arrive after Christmas your recipient will understand why.

These personalized gift options below are unforgettable and very un-status quo (i.e. you can't walk down the aisle at Bed Bath & Beyond or Target to find/purchase). As do most custom items, they'll take a little longer to get made and arrive but if you plan accordingly it will make for a thoroughly fulfilling gifting event to all parties involved.

And yes, this is another haul from the most magical place on Earth (2nd only to Disney World) - ETSY. Following suit with 95% of my blog, these gift ideas are handmade from small/local businesses in the U.S. that benefit so much more from your purchases then larger corporations. Make sure you take a few seconds to read each of their bios and learn about the people/family your dollars get to support!

Clever Custom #1

Can you really go wrong with custom bobblehead? Personalized and designed from the photos and/or descriptions you provide and hand-crafted into an immortalized work of art in the likeness of any friend, co-worker or family member! You can also make them "characterized" as a super hero, musician, politician, athlete etc. (more than 1800+ pre-made bobblehead bodies and poses to choose from actually). This Etsy vendor uses 100% Polyresin material which is a high-quality resin compound generally used for large statues, figurines, and a variety of decorative furniture pieces.

Clever Custom #2

This adorable barrel is fully functional for use to age or store any spirit. Available in 1-3 liters for whiskey, wine, bourbon or any favorite liquor for that "connoisseur" in your life. Engraving, style choice, and font selection are all offered with this gift as well as free shipping. Whether your recipient decides to use or simply keep as decor, every houseguest will not be able to resist the urge to take a selfie with it.

Clever Custom #3

A personalized love letter transformed into a woven throw that can wrap your loved ones in the warmth of your thoughts. A truly timeless gift available in both typewriter or handwritten font. Made of 100% unbleached cotton and machine washable; black writing, and red + blue lines (The reverse side is a beautiful chic blue/green). Definitely a type of heirloom piece that one can keep wherever life takes them.

Clever Custom #4

A custom 500-piece puzzle made from any of those special snap-shot moments you want a giftee to remember. Made with sturdy 100% recycled laminated cardboard.  Comes in a card stock rectangular cube box and includes an image guide for what your final 18x24 inch result will look like.

You can glue it together to hang as an artwork piece when you're done or take it apart and keep putting it back together year after year, holiday after holiday :)

Clever Custom #5

There are so many ways to go with this. Whether you want an encouraging quote for motivation or simply the face of someone you hate; trips to the golf course will be even more fun and a game of put-put a little more invigorating.

"Wildcard" Options

• A 10x14 inch Personalized Platter with your actual handwritten recipe(s)! Made of a high-quality durable plastic resin, crafted in the USA, BPA-free, dishwasher/microwave-safe, and made to order for your special someone.

• Genuine Leather Travel duffle bag with monogrammed initial(s) option. Measures 23" x 12 x 10", includes a shoulder strap, and free shipping. We know how most guys are, they'll keep the same overnight bag from college for YEARS. This can be a great refresher :)

• Say it loud, say it proud....with a custom throw pillow. Hand-printed when the order is placed using sublimation printing process that uses very high heat, special ink, and specialty fabric (a superior, permanent print that will not fade, crack or peel). This process is also nontoxic and environmentally friendly!
