Having something customized sounds expensive, but it doesn’t have to be. In fact, it can often be quite the opposite. If you’re on a budget, opting for personalized gifts is a fantastic way to give meaningful, unique and totally memorable tokens without breaking the bank. Because how many scented candles and average bottles of wine does one person need? Instead, think personalized socks, photo tiles, pillows, cookies and more. Whether you’re shopping for your kids or your significant other we’ve rounded up amazing personalized gifts, all of which are bound to put a smile on a loved ones face.
