From coasters and candles to pet bowls and plant pots, there’s something for everyone…
We always find that one of the best gifts to give and receive is one which feels thoughtful and personal, hence why we're such big fans of monogrammed and personalised gifts for our loved ones – especially at Christmas.
If you're shopping for someone tricky to buy for, or that friend who seemingly has everything they could possibly ever want, we’ve put together a variety of personalised gift ideas to suit family members, significant others, friends, children and even pets.
You'll find options for every gift-buying need below, from sweet sentimental gifts for a special lady, to helpful gifts for couples, and more practical personalised gifts to make your loved one's hobbies that much more meaningful.
If you're looking for some gifting inspiration this Christmas, take a look at some of our favourite personalised gift ideas below…
If you're struggling to think of something to buy a work colleague, family member or Secret Santa, these beautiful marble coasters from Oliver Bonas are a lovely choice. We love how chic these look, especially given the great price point. They're also a great stocking filler idea.
If you're buying for a couple this Christmas, this personalised wooden chopping board is both a practical and sentimental purchase that they're likely to treasure for years to come. It's an especially sweet gift for those who have just got engaged, married, moved home, or are celebrating a big anniversary.
Shopping for a book lover this year? We love these personalised charm ribbon bookmarks from Lisa Angel for the bookworm in your life. You can choose everything from the colour of the ribbon and the charm shape and colour – you have up to seven characters to fit in a name or initials.
A lovely option for any of the women in your life, this super soft scarf – woven from soft lambswool (the highest quality sheep’s wool) – can be personalised with a name, initials, date or star sign.
If you've got a friend or a family member who loves a tipple (especially around Christmas), pick up this chic Art Deco personalised bar runner for them to place on their bar (if they're lucky enough to have one) or in their kitchen near their all-important cocktail-making supplies.
If you normally buy someone a puzzle but you want to make it even more special this year, this personalised postcode jigsaw will take that gift idea to a whole different level.
It's available in four different styles: Ordnance Survey Landranger, Victorian (England and Wales only), London Streetmap (Greater London inner M25 only), or Ordnance Survey Streetview.
Photo memories often make the best personalised gifts, and this throw is especially great as it'll keep the recipient warm well into the winter, and give them a chance to reflect on their best moments. Choose from mink touch or premium sherpa fleece.
We always appreciate a good monogrammed mug and this one from Antropologie is a delight. With black and gold detailing, it's a great choice for your office colleagues this Christmas.
Stay cosy all winter long with this personalised hooded sherpa blanket. Choose from four colours – slate grey, pink, taupe and lavender – and add up to five letters. We're sure plenty would love to find this under the Christmas tree this year.
Shopping for a keen gardener this Christmas? Then look no further than this personalised trowel and fork set. The handles and copper finish make for a luxe look.
Say cheers to your loved one this Christmas with this personalised wine glass. Not only can you add their name but you can also add their birth flower for an extra special touch.
Treat someone to a diffuser and candle that will have their home smelling beautiful this Christmas. We love that the diffuser can be reused time after time simply by topping it up with different fragrances.
Let's not forget about our four-legged friends this Christmas. We're particularly fond of Emma Bridgewater's personalised pieces and this special pet bowl for your dog or cat is suitably festive with its blue stars.
A lovely gift idea for your significant other or music BFF, this personalised keyring allows you to add their (or your) favourite song along with the artist's name. A unique gift that is also incredibly practical, and we love the fun, retro design.
We adore this beautifully engraved Tuscan terracotta plant pot – it's perfect for the plant lover in your life. Handmade in Devon, each one is fired at a high temperature in a modern gas-fired kiln to give consistency of colour and long-lasting durability. You can even add plant seeds and eco compost at an additional cost.
For a special lady in your life, you can't go wrong with jewellery. Your significant other, mother, sister or friend will love this gold chain bracelet – which can be personalised by adding up to eight characters to spell their name, a significant name to them, or perhaps initials.
Just because you're gifting something practical doesn't mean that it can't be aesthetically pleasing too. Available in a range of colours, this 500ml triple-walled stainless steel water bottle will keep drinks cool for up to 24 hours – or hot for 12 hours.
We can't get enough of this luxurious pouch from Elizabeth Scarlett. Great for taking on your travels or housing daily makeup bits, this is a practical (and stylish) gift to receive on Christmas morning.
If the person that you're buying for has recently moved into a new home, or has been in their beloved home a long time, this is such a special gift idea. The hand-drawn illustrations capture every type of building and the use of black and white means this print will work alongside any home or interior style.
For those who like to travel in style, this sleek weekend bag is just the ticket. It comes in a range of six colours, and has plenty of room for those regular overnight or weekend stays – and of course, it can be personalised by adding up to three letters to the front, for an additional £4.99 charge.
