When special occasions like Thanksgiving or Christmas come, we find ourselves needing to buy gifts not only for our loved ones but also to many other people. These are just acquaintances but it seems that we are being compelled to give to them, either because of etiquette, social grace, or just because they are expecting it.

You can actually go to a commercial printer and find that they have many nice generic things that you can give to them. You may also ask them to personalize these generic items through their commercial printing process. Here are some of the items that you can give away to those people who are not really that important to you by relationship, but somehow are expecting some giveaway items from you.

1. Calendars. Many companies do give away calendars on Christmas, but you can also do this. You can ask the printer to print you some personalized calendars. You can use their already generic calendar template but you can have your name and your short message printed on it.

2. T-shirts. If these people are relatives, you can give them personalized t-shirts with a witty comment that you made and then just sign if off as you being the one who said it so that they can remember you by. At least, even if you give out T-shirts, it does not matter because it will be your relatives who will receive them.

3. Mugs. You can also have mugs printed at the commercial printer. You can have a photo of your family there along with a short caption and then maybe the year as the design of your mug. For example, you can put there “Jones Family 2011” with your photo and that is going to be the design of your mug. They can opt to use it but many people would rather display such mugs.

4. Notepads. Still at the printer, you can have personalized notepads done. If these are people that are close to you, you can choose a specific design for each of them. You can also give out matching pens. But if not and you really do not have the time to think of different designs, you can just have a generic layout for all notepads and you just have something printed in there to indicate that it is from you. You will also get this cheaper because you are already ordering in bulk, as compared to having different designs.

5. Personal Kits. When you visit personal care stores, you will see that they would often sell sets of personal care products in small containers like shampoo, lotion, and hand wash. These would often come in attractive gift boxes or containers. You can personalize these by attaching your personalized gift tags and signing it with a hand written note. That way, you appear like you also thought about your gift.

We are social beings and no matter where we are, we are often the recipients of kindness. So return the favor with these inexpensive but nice gifts that you can get at the commercial printer nearest you. Commercial printing has already evolved so much that they do not only print on paper anymore but also pretty much on everything else. Make use of all these to make your gifts are nice and personalized and inexpensive at the same time.
