Top 5 List
1. Clothes
As Shakespeare said, “clothes make the man”, and he was on about more than what sets us apart from animals. The right clothing changes an ordinary man into a policeman, a solider, a king, and so adding something truly unique to your wardrobe will ensure your clothes identify you as unique yourself. You can use sites such as spreadshirt to print a design of your creation onto clothing, and multiple fashion outlets now have their own customisation options.
2. Cars
Almost every car is customised in some way, whether your ordering a new car and using an online customizer then seeing the different options in person, or getting your current car modified with different paint jobs and aftermarket features such as heated seats or reverse cameras. A personal guilty pleasure of ours is to occasionally use a configurator for a car we might never afford, you can find out why by checking out the Lamborghini configurator here, using it to build your dream car.
3. Campers
As technology has taken over much of our lives, many are getting back into nature and camping is again rising in popularity. However, you can do so without sacrificing all your creature comforts by getting your own campervan. However, just like your home, your going to want to make it your own, and there are professionals that specialise in creating the campervan of your dreams.
4. Jewellery
Jewellery is all about self-expression, whether it’s chosen for us or given as a token of appreciation or affection, so custom jewellery had to be on this list. Existing or new jewellery can be engraved with special messages or dates, which is the perfect finishing touch for engagement and wedding rings, with your names and the date of your union permanently etched into the bands. You can also get jewellery custom made, by approaching a master goldsmith with your ideas and going through the process of design with them, this ensures you get a truly unique accessory that sparks conversation.
5. Footwear
Custom footwear has exploded in recent years, with all major trainer manufacturers offering their own spin that caters to the rising popularity of custom footwear. The configurators found online mimic car configurators, allowing you to choose colour schemes and materials for a premium price. One example is the Adidas Mi range, offering over 600 base templates to make your own.
