Sometimes I want to give a little gift. (My mom called them “token gifts.”) Nothing too elaborate; nothing requiring a proper thank you note; nothing that suggests anyone reciprocate. One of my favorites is a personalized sticky notepad.
One of the first sticky notepad projects I made used vistaprint Sticky Notes for a 60th birthday celebration. I found a baby picture of my sister, scanned it into my computer, and uploaded the photo. I added the text “60 Years Ago…” and that was it!
Easy to do; loads of fun; great memories!
My current favorite site for sticky notepads is Zazzle because they use real Post-Its® (that really do “stick”) but as shown above, I often use vistaprint (which is easy to use and often lower in cost.)
Personalized sticky notepads make great quick and special gifts. Stick one in a graduation card; congratulate someone on a new job; use them as stocking stuffers. Add to your creativity with a clever line or quote.
Here are a couple I made. The first is a memory of a hike in 2018 and the second is a special moment as my grandnephew attempts to pull his dad into the ocean.
Here are a few tips to get you started. This example uses Zazzle Post-Its®.
Choose a blank Post-It®. 
Upload and add a photo. 
Crop, move as desired. 
Insert text. 
Change font; move text
