UV Printed Gift Ideas to Make with the xTool O1

Here at Ruffles and Rain Boots, my xTool O1 OMNI UV printer has been going non-stop. From badge holders to book edges, coasters to cases, I have had fun making production and custom pieces.

If you’re considering getting the best home based UV printer, I recommend it. It’s easy to use, the software is incredible, and the community is warm and welcoming with sharing ideas and help.

Today, I want to highlight a few gift ideas to make with the xTool O1 OMNI. It’s a lot, so I’ll break it down in sections so you can quickly access what you might be looking for. Birthdays, anniversaries, keepsakes, and even holiday gift ideas are all included.

Gift Set for Tea Lovers (or Any Other Theme)

The tea lovers gift set pictured above can be used for a “just because” occasion, a sick day basket, or as a holiday present. Pick a theme and create a mix of pre-made and custom pieces that fit your gift recipient.

In this set, I created a custom UV DTF sticker for the tea tumbler, and the purchased candies, a UV sticker bundle, a printed custom ribbon, and I even UV printed on thin wood for the tea bag wrap and the bookmark.

Tumblers and Glasses

One of coolest pieces of tech on the xTool O1 UV printer has to be the rotary. You handle the prep (clean and/or an adhesion promoter) and the rotary does the rest.

This glass can was only my second project on the rotary and it came out perfectly! And if you look closely, you can see the print is repeated on the inside. This feature-rich option is a drop down selection in the free software.

This glass tumbler came out SO good using the rotary attachment (xTool OR1)!

Gifts for Any Fandom

If you know someone who is enamored with a character, game, or an entire fandom, finding some great artwork is a fun way to give a special something. This metal business card started out gold and turned into my daughter’s favorite character.

The OMNI transformed this gold metal business card into a work of art.

I was also able to make a couple of items for myself with my OMNI… Phone cases are so easy to get right because of the xTool O1’s Smart Mask. We have a lot of control and an auto-assisted masking that is unmatched in the market.

The OMNI made me look so good when printing this colorful, custom phone case.

Memorials and Remembrances

One of my favorite things I’ve ever printed is a photo on a glass block with a lighted base. If you want to offer remembrances or memorials, I recommend picking up solid acrylic blocks, slate plaques, or glass blocks and mounts.

This was my FIRST attempt UV printing on glass and well, I think it turned out smashing because the xTool Studio Smart Mask did all the heavy lifting.

Gag Gifts

If your gift recipients’ humor allows for it, gag gifts are the best way to highlight those inside jokes, bits of history, and camaraderie shared only by great friends. This is a UV printed stainless steel dog tag that has black-light reactive ink printed with my xTool O1 dual UV (highlights using the fluorescent yellow).

I used the dual OMNI’s yellow fluorescent ink to create a black light reactive image on this metal dog tag.

Party Sets

One of the easiest ways to pay off your UV printer is to create custom party sets. I’ll pop a few ideas below, but all of these can be printed with your UV or UV+DT xTool O1 UV printer.

  • cake toppers – custom toppers are HOT and are used for so many occasions, you’ll never run out of work
  • custom balloons – printing on mylar balloons is a fun way to increase order amounts
  • table scatter – if you have a laser, use scraps of clear acrylic to print custom photos or messages and sell them in bundles
  • cupcake toppers

Did you know you can print a photo onto a mylar balloon? This was such a fun project and I learned a ton.

Custom Playing Cards

I honestly just wanted to see if I could do this with the xTool O1 and the answer was YEP! These UV printed custom playing cards were pretty easy to align using the Smart Mask and all I had to do was place them on the bed.

Did you know you could UV print custom playing cards? I didn’t until I tried and look how great these mini works of art came out!

Baseball, Soccer, and Other Sports Collectibles

Marking milestones is a focus for local and traveling sports teams, clubs, coaches, and leagues. Here are a few ideas to offer up gifts or gift sets:

  1. commemorative baseballs – from clubs to coaches, these can be a great way to memorialize a season, a win, or even to be used as a fundraiser item for a silent auction
  2. UV printed soccer balls are big in my area as each year the club teams have a fairly good-sized ceremony
  3. decorate bats – these were a big hit for laser-engraving and I wish I would have had a UV printer back then!

There’s no crying baseball (but there is when have a little overspray because you didn’t resize your design). LOL

I know I have overspray on this one (it was my first) and have learned a slightly smaller design will print without any.

Textured Art Prints

From motivational to moving, you can create any number of textured UV prints using the OMNI UV printer. It’s as easy as choosing the height because it builds the texture using white ink. The artwork on top stays exactly as you want it!

From the radiant gradient text coloring to the raised print, from the rich, colorful background and clean edges, canvas prints are no match for the OMNI.

UV Printed Seasonal Tags, Charms, and Wreath Adornments

Making a “boo basket” for Halloween? Or a “movie night IN” basket? You can use a scrap piece of wood or acrylic and print up a custom tag to make it even more special. It’s a great daily print idea but you can definitely sell them in parent groups online.

This boo basket tag was made in just a few minutes and look at the detail captured by the xTool O1!

UV Printed Stickers

It’s so hard to photograph these but they look SO GOOD! I created a custom set of stickers using the xTool O1 and the Atomm platform’s sticker generator. In just a few minutes, I was able to come up with the idea, have the stickers created for me, print, and then use the xTool L1 laminator to finish them up.

Custom Ribbon and Bows

In the tea gift set above, I printed on a cotton ribbon but really wanted to see if I could UV print on gross grain. I just wasn’t sure if the texture would support the prints. Well, the answer is we can ABSOLUTELY print on gross grain ribbon with the xTool O1!

Custom Spa Gift Set

If you’re of the male persuasion and reading this, I’m going to give it to you straight: all females like to pamper themselves once in a while. From the teenagers in your life to your great grandmother, putting together a self-care gift set is always a win.

I made a gift set with an entire bundle of custom printed nail polish, 5-minute sugar scrubs (with free recipes AND artwork for UV printers), a nail art brush container, hand sanitizer, and a beautiful custom case for the entire gift!

UV Printed Golf Gift Ideas

Let me first say that I love getting on the golf course but I never, ever want to whack a ball with a stick. I’m there to drive the golf cart, friends (hire me for your next tee-time). :)

That said, I live on a golf course (oh, the irony) and golf-related gifts are popular. Here are some of the items I’ve made and you can make for a quick golf gift to make with your UV printer.

  • golf tee holder – this is one of my favorite items and you are only limited by the size
  • balls – these are primarily going to be for display, as they will not withstand use
  • divot tools – they’re flat and easily primed for UV printing
  • a round of golf – if you’re giving a round of golf, print a cool gift card holder or a box with a certificate and a few of these gift ideas all printed with your UV printer
