Christmas Gifts 2010 for Him in 5 Words:

Personalised, Sport, History, Book, Dad

Are you looking for a sport book for your Dad, or the man in your life, this Christmas? This is our sports book gift choice for 2010.

Personalised for Him

Men like sports and men like sports stats. We all like to be addressed to by our given name. Sport is drama. Sport is soul. Imagine combining these facts in one gift? When you give a Christmas present give one with their name on it. All these books allow you to gold emboss a name on the cover plus a personalised title page.

Tuck Him into History

Every one of these books is a feast of drama, goal-mouth scrambles, close finishes, last-minute knockouts and action from the past captured in thrilling eye-witness reports and vivid press photography.

Satisfy His Soul

Every man identifies with his heroes. Every man wants to be the hero. We can’t. We spend too much time earning a living, having a laugh and imagining. Treat him with a book about his favourite sport at Christmas and you will satisfy his soul (and keep him out of trouble).

Jim Says “Sport is a personal experience and this top selection offers all fans the chance to relive their passion. I want the Rugby edition!”

Personalised Christmas Gifts for Teachers

Jim — Mon, 21 Dec 2009 16:34:55 +0000

So you like teacher don’t you? You want to give them something to remember you by. Here are a few teacher gift ideas…

Teacher Gifts in 5 Words

Magazine, Newspaper, Spoofs, Chav, Fun

Picture Teacher

When we’re asked to recommend a gift specifically for a teacher we usually suggest the spoof newspaper and magazine gift range from GoneDigging. You can go for a fun one like ‘New Prime Minister’ spoof gift and add a picture and personalise part of the story with names, ages and locations. Then you simply select one of the frames or even a book.

Original Newspaper

Which day did they join the school? Here’s a neat idea, an original newspaper from that date. This milestone newspaper gift comes in a range of packs. Have a look at newspaper gifts on Historic Newspapers and check which newspapers are available for that day.

Chav Choice

Looking for a fun gift? Turn teacher into a Chav with this light-hearted gift pack from GoneDigging.

Jim Says “My mum was a teacher and although she would deny it I know she’d have loved a spoof magazine cover gift, most likely the cooking one.”

Personalised Christmas Gifts for Teachers

Personalised Tattinger for Christmas

Jim — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 10:49:23 +0000

We all love a glass of Champagne for special occasions. Make Christmas more special for a loved on with Tattinger…

Personalised Tattinger Gift in 5 Words

Bubbles, Luxury, Personal, Brut, Celebration

Bubble Me

A Champagne gift is best kept for a special treat or a milestone occasion when it is as good as this Tattinger Brut Reserve. Add a unique label created by the design team at GoneDigging and personalise to make a luxury milestone gift of distinction.

Can you imagine how happy they’ll be to get this on Christmas Day?

I expect they’ll keep it to celebrate the New Year.

Smooth Finish Satin Box

The tasting notes for this award-winning version of the famous Tattinger brand mention ‘biscuit’ and ‘brioche’ flavours which just means it’s a bit crisp. No need to get mixed up with endless comparisons to French breakfasts. What I love about this gift is it being even more luxurious with the addition of a satin-lined gift box – truly sumptuous.

Many Milestones

We all hit those magic years and have those magic occasions when we really want to celebrate; from having a baby to 90th birthday this is the ideal present for Christmas that can be kept in reserve.

Jim Says “We all need to treat ourselves and our families at this time of year. This Tattinger maybe pricy but perfect for a milestone year or occasion.”

Personalised Horse Racing Books for Christmas

Jim — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 10:36:18 +0000

Welcome to the world of personalised horse racing books. Each book is hand-made and can be embossed in gold …

Personalised Horse Racing Book Gift in 5 Words

History, Impressive, Gold, Cup, Derby

History Immersion

Each of these books from GoneDigging covers over 100 years of racing history written by reporters at the events so the writing style is light and easy to follow. It’s a great way to re-experience the recent past and the distant history of this glorious sport.

Do they like horse racing & history?

Ideal and Personal

We love books at notmoresocks and this one in particular for its impressive size (38cm x 31cm) and the fact that for as little as a fiver you can add a name in gold on the front cover with the legend ‘Researched for and Presented to…’

Name That Memory

We love the names that crop up in this newspaper history book; Devon Loch, Golden Millar and Red Rum. Snippets of history come to life on the pages like the ‘Foinavon pile-up,’ the first woman owner, Lady Nelson, winning the Grand National in 1915 and the false start chaos of 1993.

Jim Says “I’m not a big fan of horse-racing but I can while away a good half hour thumbing through this evocative book; imagine how entranced a real fan would be?”

Armagnac, Helicopter, Life, Leather, Book

1. Martell VSOP Cognac, £49.99*

My first memory of brandy is helping my mum make Christmas pudding in late November. Mum always used Martell and even today I’ll buy a half bottle as a tipple for guests. The best parts of this gift is are; a card you can personalise and the wonderfully luxury satin-lined red gift box. You can also splash out more by including an original newspaper (comes with a ‘Certificate of Authenticity’) from a date of choice.

3. Luxury Original Newspaper Folder, from £69.99*

Not every Christmas is the same. Some years are a bit more special. This idea is ideal to mark a milestone event, to make this year unique; to look back over a lifetime and raise a memory and smile. With a ‘This is Your LIfe’ Folder you can choose a number of newspapers that mark the passing years. A ‘Certificate of Authenticity’ comes with this gift and you can add a name and greeting; perfect nostalgia.

4. Helicopter Thrill Ride for 2, £74.99*

A glimpse into the lives of celebrities and an affordable price is how I would describe this luxury present. The flight isn’t that long but you can make a day of it as the flights are available all over the country. Go fly like a celebrity and have a nice country pub lunch together.

Have a look at all the other gift flight options from Champagne Balloon flights to Top Gun Experiences.

5. Vintage Armagnac, from £99.99

These old brandies are made from grapes harvested in that year. They are then left to mature; a connoisseur’s drink to be brought out for special occasions. A different gift personalised for a year of birth or for a milestone birthday/Christmas. Each Armagnac gift can be personalised with a card. There’s also an option to add an original newspaper from any year.

See Vintage Armagnac Gift here

Jim Says “ I’ll have the Armagnac please”

Do they like a laugh? Here’s a round-up of funny and personalised gifts for this Christmas……..

Personalised Gifts for Golfers in 5 Words

Stig, Moon, Lads, Couple, Football

I love a laugh and I like to give personal gifts to the family and my friends. I’ve put together 5 personalised gifts that can be described as funny or FUN!

1. Best Dressed Couple Spoof Newspaper

GoneDigging for personalised gifts has a great range of fake newspaper headlines based on the Daily Mirror and including lots of celebrity and sports. I like this one best because it’s for the recipient and the person giving. You can upload a picture of you both and personalise some of the wording, then choose from a range of display options like a frame or book.
See Spoof Newspapers

2. Lads’ Spoof Magazine

Like the spoof newspaper this personalised gift allows you to upload a picture and personalise some of the wording. I love the puns and ideas on this cover. My favourite is ‘Bad Jokes’ A dyslexic man walks into a bra… Personally I think that’s a cracking gag.

3. Football Personalised Calendar

Here’s a way to keep a football fan happy with a gift full of funny images. Add his or her name to each of these stunning and funny images. You can even add 20 important dates on the A3 sized calendar; for example all the home games he or she goes to. I particularly like the name integrated into the flaming football.

4. Personalised Stig Posters

I’m a petrol-head and I never miss an episode of Top Gear. GoneDigging offer several Stig posters that you can personalise with a name and for a bit extra you can have a framed version.
See personalised Stig Posters

5. Acre of Moon Gift

I’d love to be a land owner. This is one of those gifts that gives you a ‘Lunar Deed’ stating your entitlement of land on the moon. Where they stand legally with this I’m not sure but it comes in a nice tin and comes with a grandly titled ‘Lunar Constitution and Bill of Rights.’
