Personalised Gifts For Avid Readers: Coming Soon!

Buying gifts for avid readers can be extremely difficult. However, with same day order and next day delivery on an extensive range of products, we are convinced that you can find some truly inspirational personalised gifts made with love for your book-loving friend or relative!

Personalised gifts for avid readers:

1. eBook reader covers

Do you have a friend or relative who devours books and gets through about 3 in a day? Do they own an ereader? A cover to keep their newest piece of gadgetry safe – eBook reader covers –  would be a fantastic and practical idea for personalised gifts. Books contain so many different tales and adventures, and your loved one really does hold a whole library in his or her hand every time he or she goes out with their technology. But you can create another beautiful story through your photos with our stunning, high quality eBook reader photo covers.

2. Personalised photo bookmarks

And what better way to supplement their book reading than to give an avid reader (this time one who does not have a gadget with which to fulfil their pastime!) some beautiful photo bookmarks? Any reader knows that being without a bookmark is one of the most annoying and frustrating experiences ever. Picking up from the page you left off is key and it is such a bore to have to find the last page you were reading previously. Now every time your loved one sits down to read their book they will be reminded of that great memory through your personalised gifts and will feel warmed by your lovely words of encouragement or love!

We are taking a break over Christmas but we will be back in January to offer you some great personalised gifts for you and your loved ones! Merry Christmas!



Top Quality Valentine’s Day Gifts For Him

Three personalised aprons Valentine's Day gifts of New York cab and skydiving photos

Very few people realise how difficult it can often be to find truly original Valentine’s Day gifts for men that do more than simply tick the imaginary box! Here are 3 great gift ideas that really break the mould:

1. Personalised apron

The personalised apron is a personal favourite Valentine’s Day gifts idea because it is so versatile. You could make it serious (he really needs to start doing some cooking!) or funny (make him have the body of your perfect man!), or beautiful, or shocking, or strictly professional… the choice is yours! Very practical Valentines’ Day gifts for the special day.

2. Photo cushion

Men love the photo cushions because they are so comfortable and can be personalised either with one photo or with a great montage of all the best snaps from ever since you started going out all those days ago! Fabulous personalised gifts for your boyfriend or husband.

3. Heart jigsaw puzzle

Everyone has played a classic jigsaw puzzle. They provide hours of fun and entertainment as we struggle (in vain in my case!) to arrange all of the pieces in the correct order. Yet the heart jigsaw puzzle is extra-special as it is – you guessed it – in the shape of a heart. Thus your lucky man will only realise the love and compassion built into the puzzle as he is completing it, and you could even add a lovely message to the photo puzzle such as those three words or even your man’s name for a great personal touch. Perhaps the most romantic Valentine’s Day gifts ever!

We are taking a break during Christmas but we will return in early January! Don’t miss us too much! Please don’t hesitate to come back to BagsofLove if you are ever in need of some top quality Valentine’s Day gifts or personalised gifts for any special occasion!

Picking the Perfect Valentine’s Day Gifts For Her

Valentine's Day gift ideas Cushion of Love B&W nose touching couple

Valentine’s Day gifts Dilemma

A few weeks ago I went out to the High Street in search of some beautiful Valentine’s Day gifts for my girlfriend, and was very surprised to find the distinct lack of creativity regarding present ideas for this special occasion. Valentine’s Day is the time when, if in a relationship, you have free rein to showcase your feelings of love and affection for the one person that means the most to you. The only things I was able to find included chocolate bars and scented candles which, whilst very nice and undoubtedly good quality items, were not the kinds of unforgettable Valentine’s Day gifts that should be given at this wonderful moment in the year. However, there is a solution to this distinct deficiency of first-rate Valentine’s Day giftspersonalised gifts. Putting your very own words as a special message onto a lovely photo of you and your other half together is the most romantic way of telling them how much they mean to you.

Valentine’s Day gifts for her

Girls love Valentine’s Day gifts because they can be pampered and can feel especially privileged to know and love their sweetheart! But too often the gifts they receive are uninspiring and actually quite dull. You have the opportunity to change that this year (we are all guilty of some truly lacklustre gift ideas!) by getting your other half something genuinely meaningful through personalised gifts. Here are 3 great Valentine’s Day gifts ideas for her that will melt her heart on the 14th!

1. Photo mugs and cups

Give her her very own personalised photo mugs and cups to have her tea or coffee in every morning. Put a photo from your honeymoon on a mug just for her that is high quality and very practical. She will love your thoughtfulness and these Valentine’s Day gifts are very inexpensive! Available soon!

2. Cushion of love

The cushion of love is a heart-shaped cushion personalised with a photo of you and your other half that stretches right across the fabric. You could even add a personal message if you wish! Comfy, gorgeous and usable every single day!

3. Banksy canvas for Valentine’s Day gifts

A Banksy canvas is a brilliant and stunningly romantic Valentine’s Day gifts idea because your best photo, given the urban Bansky twist, will look breathtaking when transferred onto first-rate canvas. Your photo is superimposed onto a street wall with red flowers or hearts around you and your loved one, and the contrast of black and white and red makes for a beautiful and very striking present for Valentine’s Day.

Photo Albums

Do you have so many pictures of you and your sweetheart that printing each image onto a full page of your personalised Book of Love would invent a Bible sized novel? Well if this is your dilemma, then instead of printing a personalised Book of Love, order beautiful Photo Albums! Simply select one or two of your best photo memories of love, design and print those onto the covers of your photo albums, and then neatly fill in the rest of your photo albums’ pages with all your remaining photos!
