Embroidered items make great gifts. Not only do they have that handmade feel to them, but you can personalize almost anything with some simple embroidery and make it special. Here are a few ideas for gifts you can make if you love to embroider.

An advertising specialty shirt can be a tee shirt, or a golf shirt. It can have long or short sleeves and can be distributed at various company-supported events like road races, golf tournaments, bike rides, etc. The shirts can be embroidered or silk-screened with a company's logo, name, sponsors, etc., or it can be screen printed or digitally printed. Screen-printing, however is not used much, even though it is cheaper. The simple reason is that it does not last long and gets damaged easily (by a hot iron). Screen-printing does not look as good as the embroidered or digitally printed finish.

The cost of getting such specialty shirts printed or embroidered would depend on the time that you give someone to make it. If you need it at a short notice, the price you have to pay will go up. It is, hence, best to plan an advertising campaign like Gallant using specialty shirts, to save precious dollars. Of course, if you buy the specialty shirts in bulk, they are cheaper.
