The fantastic social gathering that is the house party changes form depending upon the host's stage in life. The very first parties are likely to take place during the tender teenage years and might only be possible at the parental home when certain disapproving individuals are away on holiday. Later on, parties can be more extravagant affairs, taking place in university dormitories or share homes and packed with an individual's most important buddies, in addition to friends that have not yet been met.

After the younger years - which we can dub the university years - parties tend to take on a different appearance; they become more intimate affairs, and can be accompanied with fine food, sophisticated dinner music and even the company of colleagues or business associates. These are occasions where a host might want to impress for a promotion, or otherwise make a good impression.

However, no matter what the stage of life - or the type of party being held - there is always a common thread; the desire for each and every celebration to contain something personal and unique. The attempt by the host to define the event in someway that is uniquely their own.

And one fantastic way to help the host reach their objective is to make sure you come to the big event equipped with personalised gifts. Whether it's housewarming Gifts, something to mark the coming of Christmas or a birthday, personalised gifts will help make such an event just that little bit more unique.

If you're looking for personalised gifts to mark the arrival of someone purchasing or renting their new home, one possible option could be to give them a personalised doormat. Made from high quality coir and backed with rugged and durable PVC, these classic doormats can feature a personalised message made up from up to 12 characters per line. So, whether you want to say simply "welcome", or "I love my new home", a personalised doormat really could be the way to go.

And for when you're looking for a personalised dinner party gift, how about a personalised jelly mould? A perfect gift for budding Jamie Oliver's, or those who simply love to make a statement with their dinner party desserts, the personalised jelly mould can be designed to feature any name or statement you can think of, and can even be used for other desserts; as if jelly were not enough, these moulds can be used to create personalised blancmanges, cakes and anything else in between. The possibilities are endless and the only limits are those created by the imagination - however, personalised pieces of toast may be a little difficult.

There is a possibility however that your personalised gifts might be to mark an occasion as significant as a birthday - for occasions such as this it is important to make the Gifts as memorable as possible. If you're buying for a special male friend or loved one, what better way to mark the occasion that with a bottle of personalised whisky? Instead of opting for a generic, off the shelf bottle - complete with impersonal label descriptions, barcodes and warnings about the need to drink in moderation - why not treat him to a whisky that really speaks his language? One that really lets you tell him how much he means to you. personalised whiskys are of the highest quality and aged over a period of 12 years. Connoisseurs might be interested to note that all bottles contain a Lowland Malt, but the most important consideration is that the taste is sublime. And best of all, the label can be personalised to convey any message or suit any occasion.

When picking a personalised gift for her, why not say it with a deliciously stunning engraved My Last Rolo. If you really want to let her know that you love her enough to give her - the last - one, why not make sure it comes complete with an engraved and personalised message of your choice. It's not actually made out of chocolate - so it's sadly not edible - but this hallmarked gold replica is still mouth-wateringly delicious. But, what makes it really tasty is the message that you put there. Encased in a luxurious red presentation box and dressed in red ribbon, this last rolo is the ultimate way to express how you feel. And, much like its chocolaty original, it will probably make her heart melt.
