If you want to give a book, then a book of a favorite author of the recipient; if this is a collection of reproduction, then of the reproductions of the works of the recipient's favorite artists; if it is a jewelry, then it can be of a favorite (or even made by your own draft according to the taste of the recipient) and with a gem stone that matches to the recipient.

A scrap book is an excellent variant of a personalized gift that you can make by your own hands.

This can be a love story, a story about the first year of a baby's life, memories about a trip, a chronicle of some important events for your friend. You only need to buy a photo album for scrap booking, elements of decoration, to collect pictures that you need and to think up the idea carefully; and you can start creating a unique masterpiece. Actually there is a great number of ideas of using pictures for gifts personalization. Besides a subject photo album, you can make a photo collage or photo montage.
