GoneDigging, for personalised gifts, is always adding new fun gifts and a part of their efforts received some recognition this week when their affiliate programme was shortlisted for the A4U Awards 2010.

What’s Affiliate Marketing?

Put simply it means if you own a web site you can earn money by promoting a brand like GoneDigging. You then link to the site and a code tracks the visitor. If they buy you get a commission. It’s simply and it’s fun.

If you are interested in learning more then vist an affiliate network, they act as middle men between your site and the merchants. Here’s a link to signing up for the GoneDigging programme with an affiliate network called Webgains.

See more here about the GoneDigging affiliate programme on Webgains.

Jim Kinloch, Online Marketing Manager, who runs the affiliate programme on GoneDigging commented:-

“We are delighted that we’ve made the short list. It’s fun working with our affiliates and it really paid off at Christmas. We had sales flooding in. All of our marketing team ended up working in dispatch to meet demand.”

Unusual Christmas Gifts

Yvette — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 16:15:49 +0000

Unusual gifts abound at Christmas so here’s my selection of the top unusual presents to look out for this year…

5 Unusual Christmas Gifts 5 Words

Different, Animal, Poetry, Sports, Books

What I Want to Give Check List

Will someone else give the same thing? No.
Will I be giving something unique? Too right.
Will it make our Christmas Special? Yep!

Adopt a Wild Animal

If you know anyone that respects animals in the wild then give them their very own beast: Tiger, Elephant, Penguin, Orang-utan are all on offer in Adopt an Animal packs from GoneDigging.

Football Commentary

How about this Christmas present that combines Football Commentary with personalisation; all you have to do is enter some details on the web site and some professional commentators make a recording of a match that you dictate: a top favourite of mine.

Lover’s Poetry Scroll Gift

This is really unusual. Get a professional poet to write a romantic poem. Love the red ribbon. Read a sample poem here.

Personalised Children’s Books

How great it is for the kid’s to read their own name in a story. Lots of titles on offer including some favourites like Noddy and Peppa Pig. Personalised Children’s Books.

Newspaper Spoof Gifts

Imagine them on the cover of a newspaper where they are making the headline. Like ‘Best Dad,’ ‘Wimbledon Win,’ or ‘Sexiest Woman Alive.’ Spoof Newspapers are great for making an impact.

Yvette Says “Spoof newspaper for me every time. I love the silver frame option.”

Christmas Presents for Boyfriends

Yvette — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 16:00:16 +0000

Boyfriends are tricky to buy for but if you go for a Christmas present that is personalised you’ll be a winner…

Christmas Personalised Gifts for Men 5 Words

Boy, Always, Personal, Experience, Footy

What I Want to Give Check List

Will my boyfriend be thrilled? From footy to flying – I’m sure he will be.

Will my boyfriend take me? Choose an experience for 2.

Will it make our Christmas Special? That’s between you and him dear.

Tricky Like Men Can be

Some gifts always work. A good drink always go down well so number 1 on your list could be a top bottle of wine, personalised with his name and perhaps the year you met plus a message; from GoneDigging comes Personalised Wines an Spirits.

Second on my list is something to do with sport. This year I’ve been recommending My Football Year gift which has a whole season of his favourite team with his choice of pictures and he’s able to choose how the stats look like on the page (why do they like that sort of thing)?

The Ultimate Lad Pressy

If you want to buy a gift that impresses then you can’t go wrong with a driving day. I love the idea of sending a boyfriend on Ferrari Thrill for the day. It’s pricy but it will keep him in anecdotes for years…

How much do you want to impress him? If you have the cash to spare check out some Flying Experiences. You could even join him in a Helicopter Thrill for 2.

The Two of us

Like to be pampered; does he like his moisturiser? Another type of experience for the two of you is a Pamper Day or perhaps a Make Over and photoshoot. I love the photoshoot idea because it’s an experience that is recorded with professional photography.

Reasonably Priced Boyfriend Gift Round up

We’re all looking for savings so here’s a quick round up of Yvette’s Christmas Gifts for your boyfriend under £15.
Magazine Spoof – loads to choose from and you can upload a picture.

Personalised Football Diary – He gets an historic match report every month.

Name in an Image Calendar – Bright and cheerful

Personalised French Wine – Red, white, and Rose

Football Legends Calendar – Fun; personalise with your boyfriend’s name.

Yvette Says “I’d go for the Pamper Day but I also recommend a simple Football Year Book as he’ll be entertained all season with something you gave him.”

Christmas Presents for Boyfriends

Personalised Christmas Gifts for Men

Yvette — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 12:47:23 +0000

Men, Lads and Dads, Boyfriends aren’t always easy to buy Christmas gifts for; here’s my personalised gifts for men ideas…

Christmas Personalised Gifts for Men 5 Words

Dad, Lad, Unusual, Smile, Xmas

What I Want to Give Check List

Will my man be surprised? Yes.
Will my man be pleased? Yep.
Will the man in my life be grateful? I’m sure he will. I’ve told him before…

Lad, Mad Dad, Husband and Old Boy Asleep in the Corner

What men need and what they get are two different things. I’m not going to just give them something that is a faddish latest thing that will be forgotten and turned into a nostalgia trip one year later. No I want to give men Christmas presents that are personal, fun and unusual.

The Lad

For the lad in the family I recommend the Spoof Mag ‘Pucker’ from GoneDigging. It’s easy to make personal by adding a picture and the lad’s name. He can then brag about being a Lad’s Mag cover star.

Lad’s also love scantily clad women covered in mud. I just love the name of this gift ‘Personalised Dirty Girl Poster.’

Mad Dad & Husband

What are Mad Dad’s crazy about? That’s right. Golf; or is it wine? If I could find a personalised golf club with added wine glass I would. Instead how’s this? A Personalised Golf Calendar. If he really is into wine you can send him off to see his own ‘Personal Vine’ in an English vineyard. Adopt a Vine Gift.

Old Boy Asleep in the Corner

The Turkey’s eaten and the excitement’s died down. What happens? Men of a certain age doze. I like to keep my men awake and interested. Men love facts and figures and a bit of history so a ‘pucker’ Christmas present for Grandad would be a Historical Map Gift of where he is from. This one is from GoneDigging.

All Boys Together!

It’s always ends with a messy debate about football. This Christmas gift idea can be pricy but what I think impressive is the choice of covers. The Personalised Football Book gift. Personally I like the cheapest one with the Linen Effect cover with silver embossing. It’s a book that has about 100 years of their club’s history told in newspapers. If you’re feeling flush you can go for the leather cover.

Yvette Says “They’re mad, bad, and good to know men so give ‘em something personal and fun this Christmas.”

Christmas Gift Ideas for Kids – Letter from Santa

Yvette — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 12:06:05 +0000

A cheap Christmas gift that adds to the magic of the occasion; a personalised letter from Santa…

Santa Letter Gifts in 5 Words

Funny, North Pole, Fairy Dust

Gift Check List

Does you child love Christmas?
Does he/she like fairy dust?

Father Christmas v Santa Claus

He’s always Father Christmas to me. That’s a lot more earthy and conjures up images of a man with a big white beard treating you to the toys of your dreams. This letter comes on high quality heavy paper and in a silver envelope.

Christmas is Personal

It only takes a few moments to personalise your little one’s Letter from Santa
with name, town, best friend, and more to make this very well priced gift seem real.

FREE Delivery

You have to remember to be organised and order the letter by the 19th December but as they start going out from the first of that month you don’t have any reason to be late!

Yvette Says “My little ones love the little things about Christmas so this well-priced gift hits the spot.”

Christmas Gifts for Mum – Part V

Yvette — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 11:46:34 +0000

Does your Mum like a good puzzle? How about a spaghetti jigsaw that features her name this Christmas…

Personalised Jigsaw in 5 Words

Bold, Puzzle, Tomato Sauce, Personal

Gift Check List

Is this Christmas Gift lots of fun? Yes
Will Mum waste some time? Lots…

Picture Mum

Picture Mum’s name in a large picture of spaghetti and bright red tomato sauce. A jigsaw is designed for Christmas when you’re too full of turkey and pudding and there’s nothing on the telly Mum can sit down to one of these personalised jigsaw gifts from GoneDigging.

Mum 400

All the jigsaws are 47 x 32cm and contain 400 pieces but the key is having Mum’s name in the picture.

The Whole Range

Why not investigate the whole range if Mum has an aversion to pasta; other jigsaws include; shopping, Garden & Seasons, lots of cats & dogs, and Sci-Fi.

Yvette Says “I’d like the fairy version for my Christmas; reminds me of my youngest.”
