There are so many pretty phone case designs out there, be it flowers, swirly patterns, lots of lovey dovey hearts, but maybe you want something a tad different, something that is personal to you and reflects the person you are. After all, the clothes we wear on our backs reflect who we are, so the phone that's always in your hand or bag should do the same.
Here are 10 design ideas that you could request to make the perfect, unique gift to someone you love or as a little treat to yourself.
1. Careers
Perhaps you have a glittering career that you're just obsessed with, you've landed your dream job and you just want to tell everybody and their dog about it!? Be it a Photographer, Police Officer, Singer, Author, Waitress, Chef, Jeweler, Beautician - there is going to be an adorable little doodle I can sketch and turn into a phone case to represent this huge part of you. Maybe a best friend has just started her own business as a Nail Technician and you want to find a special gift to give her as a congratulations?
2. Hobbies
If you've got a fun hobby that you absolutely love doing, something you can't wait to get home from work and get started on, that could be a phone case too! Perhaps you love doing Hair Styling, you love doing Nail Art, playing Tennis, Swimming, Reading, Travelling, or just watching TV and eating Nandos. I really enjoy fashion blogging so think I should make myself a phone case with an Instagram icon, a little laptop, a notebook, a pair of heels, a camera...
3. Quotes
If a friend needs a reminder that she is beautiful, one in a million and can achieve anything she sets her heart on, why not gift her a phone case with an inspirational quote on it? Every time she picks up her phone she will be reminded not only of her own self worth, but your friendship. I love the quote 'Be a Flamingo in a Flock of Pigeons' as it reminds me to be independent and to not be afraid to be myself! Do you have a quote that means something dear to you?
4. Friends and Family
Represent the friendship you and your BFF have by having matching phone cases. You could choose yours and her hair colour to make a striking design like the one pictured. Maybe a quote that you both love, something that explains your friendship. Perhaps Mum deserves a treat and would like something to do with the love of the family on her phone case?
5. Animals/Pets
How about your favourite animal on a phone case? Your Grandma is obsessed with Giraffes, your God Mother loves garden birds. Maybe your Mum would love to see her beloved Pet Dog or Cat on her phone so she can carry them around wherever she goes. If you're a crazy cat lady, you're definitely going to want your precious Queen Sassy Puss on your phone, she'd be outraged if you didn't.
6. Plants and Flowers
Cactus and succulents are really popular right now and I don't know about you but I've tried so damn hard to keep a Cactus alive but I just can't do it - where am I going wrong?! Trust me, it is far easier to have them bloom on your phone case than worry about looking after them. This would make a cute Mother's Day gift for Mum, you could pop her favourite flower on a phone case for her - really pretty but still personal to her. Or if you don't fancy giving Auntie a bunch of flowers for her Birthday this year, give her a phone case laced with beautiful Roses or Daisies that will last much longer than those that have to stand in water.
7. Your obsessions rn
Whatever you're obsessing over right now, it only makes sense to have it on your phone case too. Unicorns and Mermaids are big trends right now, so are Pugs, Avocados, Cacti, Sloths - whatever you or a loved one is crushing over at the moment, it can go on a case!
8. Fruit and veg
Another trend lately seems to be 'cute fruit'! Maybe you're into it too or have an abnormally crazy festish for Strawberries, Apples, Corn on the Cobs, Peaches or Avocados? Even if you're partial to the odd Broccoli, I'm sure we could make a cute little guy to feature on your phone case! Spread the word about eating your greens!
9. Personalisation
How about something that screams YOU! A name, an initial, like this one above that a made for a friend having a baby boy, the R is the first letter of their new baby's name - a great gift for a baby shower!
10. Occasions
Mother's Day, Easter, Birthdays, Christmas, Independence Day... Whatever celebration you are celebrating, add the festivities to your phone too! Be it Bunnies for Easter, Baloons for a Birthday or patriotic Flags for national days.
And remember! All designs are hand drawn and painted by myself, so even if another customer orders the same design as you, no two will be the same, making them each super unique and full of personality!
If you'd like to talk to me about a completely custom idea or design please feel free to drop me a message and we can get those creative juices flowing! I know it's only a phone case, but a phone is so special and important to us thee days, we might as well dress them beautifully!
