In this day in age, it can seem like gifts are so impersonal. Where we used to give carefully thought out gifts, we now just send gift cards. Texts and e-mail messages have replaced carefully thought out notes. That’s why I like to give personal gifts whenever possible, to let people know I was really thinking about what they’d like.
One great way to add a little extra personal touch to a gift is to get it personalized, and a great place to do this is at Dakota’s Personalized Gifts, an online store that offers a wide variety of gifts that are all personalizable. From baby showers to retirement gifts, Dakota’s Personalized Gifts offers a range of beautiful gifts, all of which can be uniquely personalized for the receiver.
Of the many different items available, one of my favorites was the My First Dolly. This beautiful doll is a great gift for any little girl. She comes dressed in an adorable outfit, from her pink floppy hat to her matching jumper and tights. The doll is super soft and perfect for sleeping with, cuddling with and reading books too. Even better, though, is that the doll can be personalized with the name of the receiver. The doll’s jumper reads “My First Dolly,” underneath which there’s room for your little girl’s name to be written in cute, pink script.
Although I was more interested in this as a gift for my many nieces, I got one for my daughter so I could see what she thought of it. She adored it! She immediately recognized her name written on the front, and loved how the doll was clearly hers. It also made it easy not to lose it!
Aside from the personalization, she thought the doll was pretty fun and cuddly. It immediately became her favorite doll, and the plush body meant that it was perfect for sleeping with at night. Her “me doll” was her new best friend, and she took it everywhere. It’s a good thing it was machine washable, because the little doll got dirty super fast from all the use it got.
Everything from Dakota’s Personalized Gifts is a great gift for the upcoming holidays, and I especially liked the My First Dolly for a gift for the little girls in my life. Every child loves seeing their name in print, and having it written across their doll’s clothes makes them especially proud. The doll is super cuddly and lovable. Plus, ordering from Dakota’s Personalized Gifts makes gift-buying a snap. Their prices are very reasonable, and they have a great return policy. If for any reason, the gift you order doesn’t work, you can return it, no questions asked. So the next time you’re searching for the perfect gift, you cannot go wrong with the items at Dakota’s Personalized Gifts.
