03 months ago
Are you ready for some football!? Super Bowl XLVI kicks off Sunday, February 5th at 6:29 p.m. ET which can only mean 1 thing – bring on the Super Bowl Parties!
We thought we’d give you our highlight reel of some of our favorite football-friendly PersonalizationMall.com gifts that will help add to the excitement as your guests root for their favorite team. And as an extra treat for the A Personal Touch readers, we’ll offer an exclusive coupon code to help you save money on the featured products – just keep reading below!
No Super Bowl Party is complete until you have everyone’s favorite snack: chips! And now you can serve them to your guests with team spirit with the Game Time© Personalized Football Snack Bowl!
The bowl displays our exclusive modern football field design and features any 3-line message you choose and you can also select the colors for the text and design border. Have fun coming up with playful message, such as, “Michael’s Halftime Hot Wings,” or “Reserved for Patriots Fans only!” for the price of $39.95. However, right now we’re offering the A Personal Touch readers the coupon code: SUPERBOWL12 which is worth 20% off the personalized snack bowl!
The only thing better than eating chips while relaxing and watching the Super Bowl is adding a good dip to the mix!
That’s why we’d like to share a tasty recipe we came across on BetterRecipes.com for The Ultimate Super Bowl Dip, aka the Cheesy Italian Sausage Dip!
This hearty dip includes cheese, Italian sausage, garlic, and peppers among other things so it’s sure to fulfill all your guests’ hunger.
If you’re not a fan of tortilla chips, set it out with pretzels or crackers and you’re ready for all the football you can take!
After you and your guests have had your fill of chips and dip you’ll need to wash it down with a nice cold beverage. Instead of dealing with water rings on your coffee table protect it and add to your festive atmosphere by personalizing the Football End Zone© Personalized Coaster Set for your home or man cave. The set of 4 coasters features your first or last name incorporated into our exclusive end zone design, then you can choose any 2 lines of text to be printed below the design like the clever phrases “Post-Game Highlights & Commentary,” or “Good Friends, Cold Beer.” The set retails at $24.95 and includes a beautiful mahogany wood caddy to store and display the coasters when they are not in use. But just like the snack bowl, you can save 20% off these coasters when you use the code: SUPERBOWL12 at checkout.
If you are a fan of our End Zone design make sure you check out the matching Football End Zone© Personalized Doormat and our Football End Zone© Personalized Bar Art that will help complete the personal touch you’ve added to your Super Bowl party.
We hope you enjoy the dip and party tips and remember to take advantage of the coupon code we gave you above before it expires, Sunday, February 5th!
Here’s hoping the football is just as good as the commercials!

Quick & Easy Ways to Get Organized!
04 months ago
Whether you made a New Year’s resolution to get organized or are just looking for a few ways to modify your normal routine, A Personal Touch has a couple tips to help you get a better handle on you and your family’s busy lives!
One of the great benefits of personalized gifts is organization. When you’re able to put someone’s name on something, it can help keep things in their right place.
For example, PersonalizationMall.com can help you keep each family member’s schedule straight with the Family Character Collection© Magnets. For just $4.95, you can personalize a magnet with a whimsical cartoon figure that looks just like each one of your loved ones – even your pets! You can customize the magnet with their name and then choose from male or female adult, youth, or baby figures, with light or dark complexions, and you can even choose to personalize one with a cat or dog. You can use the magnets to display your child’s A+ paper, doctor appointment reminders, individual chore assignments and anything else you can think of! Your kids will get a kick out of seeing themselves as a cartoon and will look forward to checking their magnet each day for reminders or notes from Mom!
You can also keep your family organized by using the set of 3 Grocery List© Personalized Notepads. What’s great about these notepads, which are priced at just $23.95 for the set of 3, is that you can personalize each of notepads however you’d like. So if you have family members with certain food allergies or special diets that require you to go to more than one grocery store, you can personalize a different notepad for your family member with the diet restrictions or you can designate the notepads for each of the stores you’ll be shopping at. Instead of overlooking certain items on one big list in the store, you’ll have 2 shorter lists that are easier to tackle – not to mention, with separate lists you can always hand off one of the lists to a family member so you can share the shopping and be done in half the time!
The notepads also come with a magnetic strip so you can place them right on the refrigerator door so they’re always handy!
If you like the grocery store notepads but are looking to be more organized at work, you’ll love the notepad set with the Dot To Dot© design! You can personalize each notepad for a different job responsibility, such as one notepad for things to go over in upcoming meetings, another notepad for your daily to-do list, and the final notepad to brainstorm or plan upcoming assignments. The Dot to Dot theme is so bright and cheery; you’ll actually have fun writing out your checklists!
The A Year To Remember© Photo Wall Calendar is another great way for you to stay on top of things at home and at work! 
You have the opportunity to pick 12 of your most precious photos which will be printed in full size for each month. Then you can add any 2-line message you’d like on each month so you can feature special birthdays, anniversaries or whatever is most important for you. The calendar has a writable area for daily or month to-do’s so you can leave yourself reminders and you can choose to start the calendar on any month so you don’t waste money on months that have already passed. And as an organizational bonus, we’ve included a “Dates To Remember” page so you can list all the special holidays or occasions you need to remember throughout the year. Priced at only $19.95, you finally have the opportunity to stay on top of your schedule with a personal touch. After all, a calendar is a lot more fun to plan when you’re looking at your favorite photographs!
We hope we’ve been able to offer some great tools to help you keep your New Year’s Resolution. With all these little tips, just think of how much more time you’ll have to spend with family and enjoy personal hobbies!
If you have any organizational tips you’d like to share, we’d love to hear them! Feel free to leave a comment below.
Have fun getting organized and check back here for Valentine’s Day gift ideas soon!
How To Make Your Resolutions Fun & Easy To Keep!
04 months ago
Happy New Year to all our PersonalizationMall.com and A Personal Touch Fans! We hope you had a great holiday season and are ready for the exciting fresh start of 2012!
With every new year comes the talk of New Year’s Resolutions. And while some of you may have no problem sticking to yours, we thought we’d help offer a couple tricks for those of you who sometimes need some extra motivation to help you keep your New Year’s Resolutions. And our tricks will show you how to make keeping them fun, too!
One of the most popular New Year’s Resolutions that people make is to lose weight, eat healthy or to become more physically fit.
We think one of the best ways to stick to a goal is to have friends or family right there beside you to help you reach it. And when you personalize one of our stylish Workout Girl© Personalized Gym Towels for you and your friends, you all will be extra motivated to hit the gym or attend that yoga class you all signed up for! With these super cute towels, you’ll be excited to head to the gym to show off your newest workout accessory! You can personalize the Workout Girl© character with 1 of 6 workout activities, such as Yoga, jogging, boxing, Pilates, volleyball, and aerobics and you can have the character personalized in 1 of 3 skin complexions so she looks just like you and each of your friends! Add your name to your towel and you and your friends won’t get each other’s towels mixed up.
Any Workout Girl would agree – accessories can make working out fun! And the more fun you have, the more often you’ll want to stick to your resolution!
Another great workout accessory you may enjoy is one of our Personalized Water Bottle Designs, like the Personally Yours© Personalized Water Bottle! With our Personally Yours© design, you have the option of choosing from 2 designs, then adding any full or single name. You also have the option of choosing any 2 color combinations from our 12 background and accent colors!
When you personalize one of our water bottles you’ll be saving money, helping the environment, and keeping yourself hydrated and healthy! Our top-quality sports bottle is made from durable aluminum and is BPA and lead free so there’s no after-taste or harsh chemicals. It comes with a pop-off and screw-off top and can be easily attached to a belt loop or backpack so you can take it wherever you go! Show it off at your next workout and bring it to work during the day so you can refill it at the water cooler and motivate yourself to drink more water.
Last but not least, have fun looking around at all of PersonalizationMall.com’s Soffe® Athletic Shorts Designs! You can personalize these comfortable shorts in red, black or grey and with all our different design choices - the personalization options are endless! You even have the chance to personalize the waistband! Get together with your workout buddies and come up with a team name or motivational saying and have it personalized on the back of the shorts. Then you can have each of your names customized right on the waist band and wear them to support each other!
If you’re working on more of an individual fitness routine, personalize a pair just for you. You’ll not only feel comfortable while you’re working out … you’ll look cute, too!
We hope we’ve helped offer up some good ideas for those of you choosing to get fit as your 2012 resolution! They are just a couple of many personalized gifts PersonalizationMall.com offers that you can use to help you get your New Year’s Resolution off the ground. Also, keep these gifts in mind later down the road and you can also use them as a way to reward yourself for mini triumps on your way to your big goal. For example, personalize a towel for yourself after you’ve lost 5 pounds, or maybe after you finally tackle that tricky Pilates position you can personalize an adorable water bottle! Whichever you decide, you’ll be sure to be motivated to keep on pushing through!
We wish you good luck with your resolution and keep checking back here for some more ideas on how to make your resolutions fun & easy to keep!
Happy New Year!
Hostess Gift Ideas to Make You the Guest “With The Mostess!”
05 months ago
Whether it’s a cookie exchange, “Ugly Christmas Sweater Party,” or a nice family get-together – holiday parties are underway!
One of the most important rules of party etiquette is to never arrive at a party empty handed. And instead of bringing a boring bottle of wine like everyone else, we thought we’d offer some personalized hostess gift ideas to help you impress your hosts and to show him and/or her that you truly appreciate being welcomed into their home!
PersonalizationMall.com has an enormous selection of beautiful Home and Entertaining Gifts that make wonderful hostess gifts, but we here at PMall’s A Personal Touch blog thought we’d point out a few favorites in different price ranges to help you with your Christmas shopping (and budget)!
If you were lucky enough to have been invited to several Christmas parties this holiday season, the Holiday Cheer© Personalized Wine Tags are the perfect gift for you to personalize! They come in a set of 24 and since they are priced at only $9.95, you’ll be able to afford personalizing a set for each of your hostesses without going broke! Instead of asking guests to remember which wine charm was assigned to them when they first walked in (which can be hard to do after 2 glasses of eggnog), your hostess will be able to hand out the wine tags you personalized which have a space for guests to write their own name!
With the guests’ names written on the tags, they not only prevent people from misplacing their drinks, they also work as a subtle name tag and ice breaker for the guests who may not know each other! Your hostess will be so touched that you went out of your way to personalize a special gift just for them, and because you helped make their job a little easier! If you’re interested in this unique hostess gift, make sure you check out the rest of our Holiday Wine Tags, too!
If you’re looking for a hostess gift that’s in the $20-$30 range, the personalized Santa Apron is another great option!
Your hostess will love the festive Santa apron because she’ll be able to protect her fabulous party wear while still looking cute! We will embroider any name you choose on the apron’s plush white trim for just $29.95! The apron is made of 100% cotton (Machine wash and dry – yay!), and is accented with real buttons and appliqued belt!
She’ll think of you every Christmas when she gets to pull it out to host her annual party, or for when she makes her Christmas cookies!
Some of you may be having a problem just looking for a gift that your hostess doesn’t already have. Well don’t worry … you’re in luck!
One of our most popular and unique gifts is our You Name It© Bamboo Cutting Board which retails for only $31.95! If she’s one of those women who have all the professional and latest kitchen gadgets she’ll love this personalized cutting board! It is a professional-quality board that’s handcrafted of pressed bamboo with a natural hand rubbed olive oil finish. Since bamboo absorbs very little moisture, does not shrink or swell and is actually harder than most hard woods, it makes the best cutting board material!
We artfully laser-engrave the top and bottom of the board with any 2-line personalization you choose for a signature touch! You can write a sweet message like, “Seasoned with love,” or if she has a sassy streak you could choose something fun like, “I always cook with wine; sometimes I even put it in the food!” Either way, the personalized cutting board is sure to be her new favorite kitchen accessory when you add your own special message. And if you aren’t comfortable writing your own message at the bottom, check out all the rest of our Personalized Cutting Boards. We have other cutting boards that can be engraved with just her monogram, with a cute design at the bottom or you can even have one personalized with a vegetable design at the bottom! Kitchen gifts don’t get much more cool and unique as a personalized cutting board!
Personalized gifts like the three we mentioned above are the best gifts to give because the person receiving them is always touched to know you made something just for them … and it doesn’t hurt that they are unique and something they’ll actually use!
So go against the norm this year and instead of giving a bottle of wine like everyone else, personalize a gift from PersonalizationMall.com and really show the hostess of your holiday party how thankful you are to be celebrating this wonderful time of year with them! Personalize any of our gifts and you’ll be sure to get an invitation to next year’s party, too!
Happy Gifting!
