When you needed to do an errand, a friend offered to babysit your child. While you were sick, some relatives took turns going to your house to take care of household chores as you recuperate. Or some family members gave you really nice gifts during your birthday.

And as such, you do not want their kind deed to be forgotten. You would like them to know how well you appreciate what you did for them and so you go to a commercial printing shop to know what you could give them back. It is not really something like a payout because you can never really out give kindness but just something that you can do to show your appreciation. And a commercial printer is just what you need to help you out in the process.

Now, you might think, what are some of the things that youcan give to friends and relatives? Depending on your degree of relationship to them and your budget, you can give them different things. Here are some ideas on how to give thoughtful yet inexpensive thank you gifts.

Here are some cheap yet wonderful ...
... gift suggestions:

1. Mugs. Mugs are processed through a heat press machine. You can have a special personalized design printed for several mugs or you can have different designs for different mugs. For example, you are going to give mugs to five different people. You can put your photo with these people on the mug along with a short message. Your photo with your Aunt Suzie could be placed inside a nice border and you can put the words like “My Dear Aunt Suzie” underneath. Except for the area, there is really no limit to the design because you can use a photographic layout for it.

2. Shirts. Commercial printers also make personalized shirts. You can just choose a nice design and ask the printer to personalize it, like put a name or a slogan underneath. Just make sure to get the right size for your recipient. Do not give a free size shirt to a petite lady or a medium size shirt to a bulky guy because they will get offended. Even if they don’t, you will just waste money because they will not be able to use it. So make sure that you get the right size.

3. Pens. If shirts are still too expensive for you, you can give out personalized pens. You can choose any of those chrome or silver-plated pens and have it engraved with your recipient’s name. Since most these pens come in gift boxes, you can just tie a ribbon around it and add a gift tag so that it will be more presentable to give. You don’t need to wrap it anymore or to buy a gift bag for it. Your friend or loved one will really appreciate it.

We are social beings and as long as we live, we will be giving and receiving gifts, acts, or words of kindness. Thanks to the newer commercial printing shops, we now have access to many kinds of nice personalized gifts that we can give out to family and friends. Even if they are inexpensive, they are greatly appreciated because they are personalized. So if you need to give something next time, why not go to a commercial printerinstead of the department store?
