Christmas on 25 December and New Year are the biggest gift season, and every year the same question comes up: what to give so it doesn\u2019t end up in a drawer? A gift from a 3D printer is easy to make personal: add a name, a year, your photo together or the place where you met. It is printed for a specific person and even as a single piece. We\u2019ve gathered ideas for what to give for New Year to a girlfriend or wife, a husband, a mum, children and colleagues, and suggest by what date to order so everything arrives before the holidays.<\/p>\n
Gifts with a shared story work best: your photo, the place where you met, a name.<\/p>\n
Men are given things that come in handy every day: behind the wheel, at the desk or in the workshop.<\/p>\n
For children \u2014 toys that move: a dragon that bends at every segment, a dragon egg<\/a> with a baby dragon inside or a \u201cDinosaur skeleton\u201d 3D puzzle<\/a>. For teenagers aged 14 and up \u2014 a code safe piggy bank<\/a>, a handy place for New Year money. We\u2019ve gathered ideas by age in the article on St Nicholas Day gifts from a 3D printer<\/a>.<\/p>\n 3D-printed Christmas ornaments are an inexpensive gift that comes back to the holiday every year: a star, a snowflake or a round pendant with a raised name and year. You can order a set for the whole family \u2014 a pendant with each name. You choose the colour. Custom Christmas ornaments<\/a>.<\/p>\n For a team, clients or partners it\u2019s handy to order several identical gifts: keyrings with a logo<\/a> of the company or Christmas pendants with a logo and the year. We print the whole batch together, with one delivery for the whole order, and for a batch of 10 or more we\u2019ll discuss the price separately. How we print batches \u2014 on the batch 3D printing for business<\/a> page.<\/p>\nNew Year decorations as a gift<\/h2>\n
