Selecting a Personalised Leather Gift

By Jo Varley

There is nothing more luxurious than the soft feel of a beautifully made and finished fine nappa leather accessory such as a wallet, jotter, notepad or folder, the softness of the leather, and the wonderful feel, makes owning and using an elegant leather item a real pleasure.

With so many of the high end luxury brands offering a huge selection of personalised leather gift models, colours and finishes, it can sometimes be a daunting task to select a leather gift that you want to have personalised in order to make it a very special and valued gift.

In the past, you had a choice of any colour "as long as it is Black" but now the choice of colours is as wide as with any fashion accessory, and you can choose from a range of subtle pastel colours, vibrant primary colours, or the more traditional Black and Brown colours for your personalised leather gift.

The first thing to consider when selecting your ideal personalised gift is what you want to achieve from the gift. It is for a corporate gift, a gift for a loved one, or just as much fun, a leather gift for you.

If it is for a gift to an individual, such as a close friend, a work colleague or a family member, you have an advantage, as you will already know much about them to help you choose. This will help you decide what colour will best suit them, and whether they would prefer a colour that is highly fashionable, or something more traditional that they can use forever.

Once you have thought about the colour and made a choice, you then need to think about what the perfect product with be for the personalised leather gift.

If you want to give something useful that will always be at hand, go for something like a leather travel card and ID card holder, it's a perfect gift that will be used literally every day, and each time it is, the lucky recipient will think of you.

Should the personalised leather gift be for a business person, why not think about a luxurious zip round leather folder, there make fabulous gifts and if you choose a beautifully made one with space for a pad and pen plus other useful pockets, this will become the business accessory of choice used and carried every day.

Giving a personalised gift to a lady presents you with so many choices, as the wide colour range will always match the other accessories being worn, for instance there are now some very elegant leather accessory cases that are also used as leather pencil cases. These come in a range of colours and are perfect for the lady that wants a small carrying case, be it for a lipstick, mobile phone and car keys, or for filling with pens, pencils and erasers.

Having decided on the gift, you now need to do the easiest but most important part, and add the personalisation to your gift.

If you really want the leather gift that you have chosen to be used, any personalisation must be discrete and elegant, as long messages of love or thanks might be sweet on the day that someone first sees it, but can be a little embarrassing a year later when paying for groceries!

I recommend that you discretely add just the person's initials to most personalised leather gifts. To do this, may online stores will let you choose this option when you are at the checkout, all you do it type in exactly what you want to appear, select the typeface and your gift will be read in a few days.

However you personalise you gift, always make sure that it is beautifully gift boxed and wrapped, and don't forget to always write a personal message on the gift card, as most people keep these messages as long as they keep the gift.
