Perfect personalized gifts for the holidays

I love it when I am in the midst of deleting a myraid of emails from various mailing lists I’ve signed up for and something catches my eye. I’ve found two great items you might enjoy - especially with the holiday season right around the corner.

Personalized Thumb Drives
from Pantone
If you are a designer of any kind (graphic, interior or fashion) you are probably familiar with Pantone - a company with one of the most popular color matching system used to select, specify and keep colors consistent. Regardless of being a designer or not, having a thumb drive is the easiest way to transfer files and keep those family photos, your latest downloaded music or work documents handy. Pantone is offering personalized thumb drives available in 15 popular pantone colors that range from 512 MB to 32 GB in file size capacity. Compatible with both PC and Mac, these sleek aluminum drives also come with sercurity software. So in case you happen to lose your thumb drive, like I nearly did, your files cannot be opened or tampered with. But whether you want to buy these gifts for your co-workers and personalize it with a logo or for friends & family and add a special greeting or inside joke, possibilities abound with this awesome gift idea.

Customized Flip Mino Camcorders
from Cafepress
Another great stop for personalized gifts is cafepress. Their tagline is “Shop, sell or create what’s on your mind” offering a blank canvas for your creativity ranging from t-shirts, home decor items, notecards, calendars, coasters, stickers, ornaments, etc. The hottest item they have for video enthusiasts and digital geeks is the Flip Mino Camcorder - a pocket-size video camera that makes it super easy to record and share videos, connecting to your PC or Mac with a handy USB connection. If coming up with a custom design is too time-consuming during the holiday rush, you can also choose from a variety of looks that other people have done and offering for purchase.
