15 August and 8 September are occasions for great celebration for those celebrating their name day, whether their name is Marie, Marian, Mari, Marinela, etc.

As it’s almost impossible not to know someone named after Saint Mary, we’re taking you on a journey into the world of personalised gifts and presenting you with some lovely surprises for this celebration. If you know anyone with this name – and we know it’s almost impossible not to know at least one person – choose to give a thoughtful and meaningful gift!

We love good food and have a sweet tooth, which is why we like to treat ourselves every now and then. A great idea is to give sweet gifts to the Marias and Marioaras in our lives. A box of sweets or a bar of chocolate could be the perfect gift for their special day.

Have you known her for a long time and want to show her that you’re still looking to surprise her? If you want to give her a thoughtful gift, a personalised diary with her name or a message is, without a doubt, the perfect choice.

To celebrate the most beautiful memories you share, you could give her a photograph or a set of photos from your most memorable dates or holidays together. Remember that the moments we share together are the most precious things we can add to our treasure trove of memories or our photo albums.

Whether it’s your mum, grandma, sister or aunt, we can show our appreciation for them with personalised cards. A personalised card from StarGift has that touch of originality that lets you make someone feel special, as you can personalise it with photos or messages. The perfect accessory to complete a gift!

Although there are fewer people named Marian or Marcel, let’s not forget that they, too, celebrate their name day on Saint Mary’s Day. Whether it’s a husband, boyfriend, dad, friend, boss or cousin, we can treat them to a beer. But not just any beer – a personalised one. It’s very easy to tailor it to suit each recipient’s personality. You can also give it as a set of six beers, and include an essential accessory for beer lovers: a personalised bottle opener.

Happy birthday, dear Marii and Mariani, and here’s to many more lovely moments spent with your loved ones! For more inspired gift ideas, you’ll find the whole category here.
