I love the holidays, but I hate the mass gift shopping it entails. Don't get me wrong, I love giving gifts, especially gifts that people truly enjoy, but therein lays the problem. How many times have you opened a present and had to feign excitement over the electric toothbrush or hardboiled egg dicer you have just received? Plenty I'm sure. And as much as I hate feigning excitement I am even more disappointed when I watch someone else feign excitement at the gift I have given them. So each Christmas season, each birthday that rolls around, I struggle to find unique personal presents that will really be enjoyed and used. When I discovered t shirt printing I was so excited.

What better way to give a great gift than by personalizing it yourself? And there is much more than just t shirts. You can get embroidered or printed polos, sports attire, sweat suits, bags, caps, towels, sheets, jackets and trousers. Perhaps you'd like some embroidered towels for your in-laws? A personal baby bib for your new niece. Table covers embroidered with your company logo for your virtual office in Canary Wharf. Who says you can't buy gifts for yourself? There are so many options with printed and embroidered items that you will be able to give great gifts for decades without ever having to give the same thing twice. So start brainstorming your ideas for all the unique presents you'll give this holiday season.
