How to Personalize a Gift

Personalized gifts are very popular. From custom embroidery on gifts such as a handmade quilt to special gift-wrapping, there are several ways to easily personalize a gift.

First, try a different way to tie the ribbon. Instead of tying it in the center, off set the bow so that it is at one end of the package. To increase the bow volume, make a double loop before tying it.

Secondly, make the gift card special. It can be a handmade gift card or a gift card where something custom is added, such as this little stick on honey bee.

If you have stamps, you can stamp a honey bee, butterfly, hearts and initials in a circle in the same spot, the idea is to add something that will be special to the gift recipient.

The way we personalize gifts is we add personalized gift cards designed by a local artist that include a ladybug somewhere on the featured native Missouri wildflower with flower identification printed on the front. Customers can tell us what they want written inside of the native flower gift card, which we add to the gift-wrapped gift.

Our label gets added to the other side of the ribbon and voila, each gift-wrapped handmade quilt, throw and gift set is now extra special.

But then, we think it’s special even before they are gift-wrapped…
