Back when I was in high school, I wanted to give my friends personalized gifts. Sometimes it involved making a birthday card, engraving a gift or putting together an entire scrapbook. I remember personalized gifts always being very time consuming or costly. If I wanted to make the gift extra special, I’d have to run out to the mall, buy all the supplies, and before I knew it, I’d lost at least an entire day. It’s so much easier and quicker now than it was back then, and you can even create special personalized items for yourself, so when I was contacted for a collaboration with Case App a few months ago, I was really thrilled at the idea of getting personalized covers for myself and my husband.
Personalization has gotten so easy and so efficient over the years. When I visited Case App’s website for the first time, I found it very straightforward and easy to navigate. There are two ways to get a case for your phone: pre-made designs ready for you to use with the option to add personal touches, or uploading your own photo or design, again with the option of adding text or images to your photo. Personalize items always remind me of gift giving, so I decided to gift an iPhone 6 case to Tom. He has never had any customized products with his brand, so I was really thrilled to get him one with his logo. When I finished with his, I selected a couple of covers for my ipad mini that I felt suited my taste.
The leaves remind me of travelling to a hot beach or city. The pattern and colours remind me of Dolce and Gabbana’s Botanical Garden print collection. The black marble design is my everyday classic pattern that suit any accessory or colour I wear. I often use my ipad on the long side, so I printed the logo landscape instead of portrait.
After selecting each design, the personalization process took a mere 2 minutes for each of the 3 covers. I love how easy, yet thoughtful things like these are – especially since Tom uses his phone and I take my ipad around regularly when I’m on the go. Covers like these are really nice to get for yourself or as gifts, the quality is great and the price is right. Shipping takes about 2 weeks, but you can express these when you’re in a hurry for them.

Truth is, when you personalize a gift for someone, the person appreciates it more because he/she thinks you really took your time to make this thing for them. They tend to appreciate it more and value it greatly.
Personalizing gifts takes time but i love the time consuming nature of it. It makes me concentrate totally and i know i won’t have any other thing in mind to do for that day.
Nice blog girl, followed you from the comment you left on my blog. I am bookmarking your blog to my phone and PC.

That’s true. I think that the thought is really what matters, but I also think that personalization doesn’t have to be as difficult as it once was. Not everyone has an entire day to get things, especially people with kids, so this is a fantastic thought, and sometimes my hands just can’t make things as well as a digital printer. lol Enjoy your week.
