I love it when I find a new source to buy unique gifts for family and friends. I like it when I can find things that are different and not something you can find at the local Target or Walmart. Its even better if I can place orders online. I’m not a fan of long lines, especially during the holiday season. You won’t see me anywhere near a mall from mid-November until January.
I enjoy giving personalized gifts to people. I think it shows that you went the extra mile to get something truly just for them. The only types of personalized items I won’t buy are clothing, jewelry or anything that a child would wear in public. It’s not a good idea for your child’s name to be easily read. Any stranger (abductor!) can see your child’s name and use that to lure them away. When it comes to children’s personalized products I prefer things that the child would keep at home.
A couple of weeks ago Dakota Personalized Gifts approached me and asked me to check out their personalized product line. I was even given the opportunity to choose a product to review. I opted for the One My Soul Loves Personalized Wall Canvas. I instantly fell in love with it when I saw it online. I love it even more now that I have it hanging on my wall above my desk.
Check out my lovely sign. Isn’t it beautiful!
I am impressed that Dakota Personalized Gifts had this personalized product shipped to me very quickly. I have ordered other personalized products in the past from other stores and I have often had to wait weeks before the product arrives. That can be very frustrating, especially around the holidays when you would like your holiday shopping done so you can rest, relax and enjoy the holiday season.
I have this adorable personalized candy treat jar bookmarked to give to my husband for either our Anniversary or Christmas. My husband is a big kid at heart and loves to keep goodies on his desk at work (he LOVES Fireballs!). I thought this would be really cute for him to keep his goodies in.
Dakota Personalized Gifts is organized in such a way that it’s easy to find products for a specific recipient or occasion. Are you looking for a special wedding gift? There is a whole section dedicated just to wedding gift ideas.
In the wedding section there is a frame that reads “The first man a girl falls in love with is her Daddy” and it can be personalized with a bride’s wedding date. I love it! This would really bring tears to a grown man’s eyes.
Dakota Personalized Gifts can help you to get a jump start on your holiday shopping. Whether you are shopping for your spouse, a grandparent, or even your child, Dakota Personalized Gift has the ideal gifts that you are looking for. Check out some fun gift ideas.
Dakota Personalized Gifts offers flat rate shipping too. Shipping to a residential location is only $7.95. Shipping for a business address is $5.95. Dakota Personalized Gifts ships USPS because USPS comes to your address any way to deliver mail so why pollute our environment with the fuel from the other delivery carrier airplanes and trucks to make a special trip to your home. In a way I can see their point and I think that is a great idea.
Over all I am very pleased with the selection, quality and service of Dakota Personalized Gifts.
For more information please visit www.DakotaPersonalizedGifts.com.

Well, I have to tell you I love the “Love Shack” door mat. When my husband and I were dating we always would sing the song by the B52″s “Love Shack baby”… My husband would love this and I think it would be a great Christmas gift for him. Kimberly thanks for sharing this site.
