Ideas for Printable Gifts for Any Occasion

Printable gifts are a fun, easy, and unique way to decorate, celebrate, and give gifts for the holidays. Printables are items that can be printed off your computer and used for any of a number of occasions. Printables seem to be limited only by the imagination. You can use software like Adobe Photoshop or you can google "printable gifts" to find a great list of sites where you can make your own printable gifts. Search more than one site for an endless array of gifts. Here are some common printable gifts:

1. Personalized coupons: many of us have made coupon books for a loved one, guaranteeing them free hugs, car washes, or gifts of an intimate nature. At online printable gift sites, it is possible to create personalized coupon books with a professional feel.

2. Certificates: "World's Best Mom", "#1 Grandma", and "World's Greatest Dad" printable certificates, labels, and awards are offered on most printable gift sites. There is no need for personalization with these gifts, and they can be printed off almost immediately for a quick gift.

3. Games: there is no end to the kind of games that can be printed off these kinds of sites. Car and table top bingo games, matching, word games, crosswords, sudoku, battleship, memory games, and even personalized card decks can all be had at various printable gift sites.

4. Masks: animal masks, Mardi Gras masks, masquerade masks, and a large variety of other masks can be printed out and used at printable gift sites.

4. Gift tags, labels, and calendars are common offerings at printable gift sites.

5. Name meanings, poems, and family crests are beautifully arranged and set in works of art and can be printed off these kinds of websites.

6. Coloring pages, paper dolls, flip books, origami, and other crafts can be found at these sites.

7. Birthday newspapers and "This day in history" printables, detailing what happened on the day of your loved one's birth, can be found on printable websites, as well as detailed horoscopes and astrology reports.

8. Puzzles, constructibles, and toys can be printed, colored, and cut out for fun and play.

Many of these offerings are free of cost and are offered either in a resource-sharing manner through parenting or craft websites, or to draw customers to their paying websites. Even if pay is required, it is rarely more than a few dollars for a very high-quality printable. Many of the printable gift sites are as easy as clicking on a desired gift and printing it out, although some require membership. Printables would make great gifts and everyday fun for a home schooling family, a young family with children, or a family looking to save money or resources. In an economy where teachers are often responsible for their own resources, printable gifts could make good awards, activities, and games for classrooms. Parents and couples can enjoy what they offer as activities for rainy days or long car trips, or simply as a diversion from the regular offerings of the day.
