Finding the right Christmas gift can be difficult, especially when you want to give something more personal than another gift card or something grabbed from a big-box store.
At Macie's Handmade Treasure's in Louisville, Kentucky, we believe some of the best gifts are the ones chosen specifically for the person receiving them. That's why we offer custom tumblers, kids tumblers, coffee mugs, Mini Buddies, and other handmade gifts with designs for different personalities, hobbies, interests, and occasions.
If you're starting your Christmas shopping, here are a few personalized gift ideas that can make shopping a little easier this year.
Custom Tumblers Make Great Everyday Gifts
One reason tumblers make such good Christmas gifts is simple: they're useful. A tumbler isn't something that has to sit on a shelf. It can go to work, school, sporting events, road trips, festivals, or just around the house.
Our 20 oz tumblers are especially popular because they're a convenient everyday size and we have designs covering many different styles and interests.
Shopping for someone who loves flowers? We have floral designs. Someone with a sarcastic sense of humor? Take a look at our sarcastic designs. Shopping for someone who loves cute and colorful artwork? Browse our cute and girly tumblers. We also carry seasonal, patriotic, awareness, farm animal, sports, and other designs.
And when you can't find exactly what you're looking for, ask us about creating something custom.
Shopping for More Than One Person?
Christmas shopping usually means buying for several people, which is one reason our 20 oz tumbler 2-for-$25 mix-and-match special can be handy during the holiday season.
You can choose two different designs for two completely different people instead of purchasing matching tumblers. That makes it easy to knock a couple of names off your Christmas list at once while still choosing something that fits each person.
Our Christmas designs are also a good place to start if you want something festive for gift exchanges, family members, coworkers, teachers, or friends.
Don't Forget the Kids
Adults aren't the only ones who like having their own cup. Kids tumblers can make fun Christmas gifts because you can choose a design based on what each child likes instead of giving every child the same thing.
For younger kids, our 12 oz sippy tumblers are a practical option. We also carry kid-friendly designs across our store, so you can shop for colors, characters, themes, and styles that fit the child you're buying for.
A useful cup paired with a design they actually like can make a gift feel more personal while still being something they'll use after Christmas is over.
Coffee Mugs Are Easy Gifts for Teachers, Coworkers & Family
Some people simply aren't tumbler people. For the person who starts every morning with coffee, tea, or hot chocolate, a coffee mug can be an easy and affordable Christmas gift.
Coffee mugs are particularly useful when you're shopping for teachers, coworkers, grandparents, neighbors, or someone you want to give a thoughtful gift without going overboard.
You can even pair a mug with coffee, hot cocoa packets, candy, or a small gift card to create a simple Christmas gift set.
Small Handmade Gifts Can Be Fun Stocking Stuffers
Not every Christmas gift has to be a large purchase. Smaller handmade items can work well as stocking stuffers, add-ons, or gifts for someone who likes fun collectibles.
Our Mini Buddies are a good example. They're small, colorful, and easy to add to a gift bag or stocking. If you're putting together several gifts at once, smaller items can also help you create a more complete gift without making the shopping process complicated.
Personalized Gifts Feel Different
There's nothing wrong with buying a gift from a large retailer, but personalized and handmade gifts have a different feel.
Instead of saying, “I needed to buy you something,” the right design can say, “I saw this and thought of you.”
That's what we enjoy most about making custom products. Sometimes customers know exactly what they want. Other times they just know a few things about the person they're shopping for.
That's okay. Tell us who you're shopping for and what they like, and we can help you find a design that fits them.
Shopping Local in Louisville This Christmas
When you shop with Macie's Handmade Treasure's, you're supporting a small Louisville, Kentucky family business.
We aren't a giant warehouse shipping thousands of identical products every day. Behind every order is a real small business making products, preparing designs, attending local festivals, talking with customers, and trying to create something people will enjoy giving and receiving.
Buying local also means your Christmas shopping dollars stay closer to home and help support another Louisville-area small business. That's something we appreciate more than we can say.
Start Christmas Shopping Before the Last-Minute Rush
Personalized gifts are best ordered before the final Christmas rush. If you already know you'll need gifts for teachers, coworkers, family members, friends, or kids, starting early gives you more time to browse designs and decide whether you'd like something customized.
Take a look at our New Arrivals and see what's new. We're regularly adding products and designs, so there's always something different to discover.
Whether you're looking for a 20 oz tumbler, kids cup, coffee mug, Mini Buddy, or a custom gift made especially for someone, we'd love to help.
This Christmas, skip another ordinary gift and give them something that feels like it was picked just for them.
