Because of their uniqueness, they have been used for over a century to catch careless crooks in the act – or shortly after, anyway. And humans are one of just a handful of species to possess them. We’re talking about fingerprints, of course: our built-in self-incrimination appendages.

Because of their uniqueness, they have been used for over a century to catch careless crooks in the act – or shortly after, anyway. And humans are one of just a handful of species to possess them. We’re talking about fingerprints, of course: our built-in self-incrimination appendages.

 But did you know that fingerprints can also have a warm and cuddly side to them?

 The people at GettingPersonal.co.uk pride themselves on offering personalised gifts that let people give one-off, bespoke presents. But if you send a mug with David Jones on the side of it, the chances are there could be another one exactly the same. But now there’s a gift that is so unique it could have come from no one else in the world: silver fingerprint cuff links.

 Customers are sent a special kit with which to imprint their fingerprints. They return the imprinted kits to GettingPersonal.co.uk, who will set in motion a 12-stage process that ends with the production of 99.9% silver cufflinks. A small handwritten inscription can also be put onto them, usually the fingerprint owner’s name. This whole package costs £64.95 and comes with free delivery.

 These cuff links have proved to be immensely popular Father’s Day gifts, but there’s no reason why they could not be given for a birthday or Christmas, or even if Dad is going away on business for a few days but wants a little reminder of his kids in his meetings.

 Best of all, it’s a gift that leaves indelible evidence of someone’s affection. For further information, please visit our website at http://www.gettingpersonal.co.uk
