Personalised Christmas Gifts for Kids (and Pets) 

 Give your kids presents that keep on giving with these cool personalised Christmas gifts.

Few people can resist seeing their name in print – especially the kids! Little readers will love the fact they’re the star of the story in this very special customised Christmas children’s book, where you get to turn them into the main character. To make it even more personal, you can even choose pronouns and name-drop a parent, grandparent or friend. Laminated with a glossy protective coating, this festive storybook is guaranteed to become a treasured family classic for years to come. 

Whether the kids in your life are big readers or into other hobbies and activities, a bag with their name on it can always be put to good use. Regardless of whether they’re using it to store library books, soccer boots or swimmers, it’s extra hard to lose when it’s personalised. This drawstring bag features an adorable digger design and is made from quality calico, meaning it’s easy to wash and keep in tip-top condition.

Utilising a favourite family photo is another great way to create customised Christmas gifts. This neoprene pencil case, which also comes in a larger size, is a fun and stylish way to keep stationery supplies organised at school or home.   

They may not need to stash away any pens and pencils, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get the fur kids in on the personalised gift idea action. Get tails a-wagging and purrs aplenty with a feeding mat for your four-legged friend, then top it with their very own pet bowl for a truly tailored mealtime experience.

Personalised Photo Gifts for Sentimental Folks

 Feeling sentimental? Your loved ones will adore these unique personalised photo gifts.

For a memorable Christmas present, a gift that captures a much-loved moment in time will always impress loved ones and nothing encapsulates this more than a personalised photo gift. This ceramic tile on an easel stand, for instance, is a unique way to display a treasured milestone such as a wedding, birthday or holiday snapshot. 

To fully embrace the festive time of year, how about some personalised decorations? You could create a single one using a family group shot, or go all out and rustle up a whole bunch featuring pics of individual members to make your very own ‘family tree’. Otherwise why not shake up the gift-giving season – literally – with a fun customised snowglobe

Personalised Christmas Gifts for Family Members

Stuck on a gift for your parents, friends and family members? Wow them with these personalised Christmas gifts.

Deciding on the perfect photo gift is one thing, but picking just the one shot to showcase on it can be tough, especially if you’ve got a smartphone library overflowing with images. Why choose one when you can pick 12? A wall calendar guarantees a year’s worth of fun, with month after month of memories to enjoy. The best part? Once you’ve got your tailored design down pat, you can print off extra copies to give to other friends or family members.

Of course, treasured snaps don’t just have to live on walls – they can be worn with pride. A one-of-a-kind personalised T-shirt allows you to fashion a stylish tee with your choice of image or text, such as a witty catchphrase or a family member’s nickname. For a more classic garment, an embroidered bath robe makes for a cosy, practical keepsake. Choose from a variety of fonts and coloured threads to get it spot-on for your intended receiver, then wait for the ‘thank you’s to come flooding in.

Personalised Christmas Gifts for Entertainers

Those who love entertaining will enjoy receiving these personalised Christmas gifts including a stylish bamboo serving board.

If someone in your life has a soft spot for wining and dining, a bamboo serving board engraved with their name or a special message will go down a treat. Whether they use it for chopping veggies for the Sunday roast or creating the cheese platter of champions, it’s got the style and substance any serious entertainer will appreciate.

For adding some festive flair to their coffee table during this season, look no further than some personalised Christmas coasters. To complete the set, however, they’ll need their own festive-themed mug, while a customised version complete with a meaningful message of your choosing will bring a smile to their face every time they enjoy their morning brew.
