Last Minute Personalised Christmas Gift Ideas

Christmas is nearly here, and if you’re anything like us there are still a few presents left on your “to buy” list. Well, help is at hand! We have a selection of fun, interesting and personalised gifts, all printed on eco-friendly materials using sustainable printing technology.

There’s a fair chance that those remaining names are the people you find it hard to buy for, this is a well-known phenomenon called gift giving anxiety. Maybe it’s a teenager who’ too old for toys but too young for a bottle of something, a relative who never seems to be happy with whatever you choose, or perhaps you picked out a colleague in the secret santa who you just can’t work out.

The beauty of a personalised printed gift is that the impact comes from the message rather than the value of the item. A plain white mug, however functional, would leave you cold on Christmas morning, but the same mug with a beautifully printed picture of a grandchild becomes a treasured memento.

If you’re looking for a humorous gift, don’t rely on the corporate copy writers of the high street, transfer your own in-jokes to a t-shirt, apron, or even a necklace.

What’s more, all of our products come with the added peace of mind that they are kinder to the environment than shop-bought tat.

It’s literally in our name: The Sustainable Printworks is a carbon neutral online printer based in Canterbury. We specialise in producing competitively priced, professional quality and eco-friendly leaflets, banners, customised clothing, and a large range of other printed resources while minimising any environmental impact.

100% of the paper we print on in our production facilities is certified by the Forestry Stewardship Council. We recycle over 98% of our waste, we use green energy, and we only work with environmentally conscious suppliers. On average we plant one tree per day which helps remove over 27 tons on carbon emissions each year.

Below are a selection of our favourite products which will add an extra personal touch to your Christmas gift-giving.
