The best personalised Christmas gifts to give this year
Let’s get straight into it! Here are all the top personalised Christmas gifts, so you can wrap up your present-giving this year.
Personalised Christmas stockings
OK, so strictly speaking some might not consider this a gift – more like a fancy gift wrapping, perhaps. But it is something that many people really want for Christmas. It helps decorate the house, and provides a lovely place to put all those little gifts. After all, they are called stocking fillers.
There are lots of personalized Christmas stockings to choose from. You might also like a bigger personalised Santa sack – instead or in addition to the stocking. Personalised Xmas stockings come in various sizes and designs, from bright red and green to more muted patterns. So they’re ideal for adults as well as kids.
They’re great to give as a personalised first Christmas gift too, as they could even be used for the recipient’s entire life. Whoever you have in mind, a personalised Christmas stocking makes a great present. They also double up as personalised family Christmas decorations to brighten up the home.

Personalised Christmas tree decorations
Again, this is one of those personalised Christmas present ideas that doubles up as a festive decoration. As it can be used year after year, it acts as an annual reminder of the person that gave this gift.
You can buy personalised Christmas decorations in the form of baubles bearing a single name, or there are personalised tree decorations suitable for couples or families, as they can feature a number of names. Often these feature cartoon type characters in Santa hats, with the name of each person displayed on the headwear trim.
There are some pretty snowflake-shaped personalised Christmas ornaments for the tree too. Or for an alternative take on the tree and decoration theme you could even opt for a family tree wall chart, cushion cover or print. These items can be displayed in the home all year round.

A personalised Christmas book
From Christmas books for kids or a version of the classic A Christmas Carol book to tales that tell of the life and adventures of Santa Claus or snowmen at night, a well-chosen tome is something to be treasured – often long after toys and technology have been outgrown.
A book is a great buy for any budget too. Whether you want to buy a single, simple paperback, want to purchase a personalised Christmas story book or to invest in a hardback Harry Potter box set, books featuring fabulous stories, their favourite characters or a hobby will always go down well as gifts.

A personalised cheese board
Yes, custom cheese boards are a thing. Instagram fans in particular love them, as they can personalise every image of their latest culinary creations by making sure the cheese board – or chopping board – is in shot every time.

Pick between styles with and without handles, and in all sorts of shapes and sizes. A ‘Mr and Mrs’ version can make a particularly good Christmas gift for newlyweds, or go for your own choice of name, slogan and date.
