Life in a pandemic isn’t easy right now, but what ALWAYS remains is love! Keep celebrating it and embracing it. Buy or craft your love/s something special. Even a cookie or a little tchotchke would be so meaningful when we’re all stuck at home. Custom gifts are always nice too as they’re more unique. Something like a custom neon sign might be the perfect way to light up your loved one’s life in these dark times, and yes, you might be asking “how much do they cost?” because we all have a budget to stick to, but many custom gifts are surprisingly affordable! Plus, you’ll be helping out an independent business, so it’s a win-win! Take a look at these other ideas below:
