Congrats and I will contact you about receiving your gift. I can’t wait to visit a dining destination that’s been on my to-do list for quite awhile, Bobby Flay’s Bar Americain, as part of Restaurant Week. I’ll get 20% off AND get to share dinner with Maria. How awesome is that? Look for a blog post 🙂

Wendy of Connecticut Bloggers put me in contact with the folks of Personal Creations after she heard they were looking for bloggers to review some of their products. I thought this would be a chance for me to get a unique Christmas gift for my parents (among others of course!) and also try a new company that could be a potential source for more future gifts!

The sign arrived wrapped up and cushioned in plenty of Styrofoam peanuts.

I decided to get a gift that would go perfectly in the new condo my parents purchased in Florida a couple of months ago, after dreaming for YEARS of doing so. Little touches like this Paradise It’s 5’O Clock Metal Sign add a charming, tropical vibe.

The sign currently resides in our kitchen, watching over our bananas, until my mom returns to the condo at the end of this month and can take it back with her.

If you’re shopping for someone hard to pick out presents for, I recommend checking out the ideas for gifts on Personal Creations. Even if someone already has an item, you can bet he or she doesn’t likely already own a personalized version of it! I’m also a fan of the Galvanized Beverage Tub and this clever Stoneware Casserole Dish.

Dad loves it!

The people I worked with at Personal Creations were great, the gift arrived promptly, and it was packaged with plenty of care. I also love the sign’s quality and the colors are just as vibrant, if not more so, than they look online. I would definitely recommend this website!

Are you a fan of giving and/or receiving personalized gifts?

What’s the best gift  you gave this holiday season?

I received this sign free of charge to review. This is not a compensated post. Opinions are my own.
