How to add a personal touch to your Christmas gifts

Can you believe it? The season of gift-giving is here.

While it is the most wonderful time of the year, it can also be the most stressful. With so much to do and so little time to do it, it's easy to get overwhelmed.

You have to decide who to invite to Christmas lunch, figure out what to get your loved ones, and make sure everyone is catered for. But don't worry, showing your family and friends how much you care doesn't have to be a hassle.

Sometimes it's the little things that really count. Personalising your gifts is a fantastic way to show your loved ones how much you care, and the best part is, you can do it all from the comfort of your own home.

So, forget about the stress and embrace the festive spirit with thoughtful and personalised gifts this Christmas.

The perfect greeting card

Have you ever been in a department store, scanning the shelves for the perfect card for someone and you can't find exactly what you're looking for?

Have you ever considered making your own? Brother's VC-500W allows you to create full colour, adhesive labels that you can use on your very own greeting cards.

Using Brother's free P-touch Editor Software or Color Label Editor App, you can create your own designs and print photos with a professional, full-colour finish.

The VC-500W can print labels from 9mm up to 50mm wide, giving you complete creative freedom to customise your greeting cards and make them unmistakably yours.

Gift wrapping ideas with a personal touch

Wrapping gifts is part and parcel for the holiday season. You could ask the sales assistant at the store to wrap your gift for you - that would save you time. But why not go the extra mile and personalise your gift wrapping to make it extra special.

Brother's ribbon tape range enables you to print text and icons onto 12mm ribbon fabric, allowing you to completely customise your message. Available in four different colours, there is bound to be a colour to compliment your Christmas wrapping, or maybe even use your loved one’s favourite colour as a finishing touch.

These stylish ribbon tapes are compatible with our P-touch range of label printers, such as the PT-P710BT, and add a luxe look and feel to any project, so if wrapping presents isn't your forte - we've got you covered!
