Personalised Christmas Gifts

The last couple of years has seen a big growth in the number of personalised Christmas gifts avaliable. Now there's a large range of online shops that allow you to buy from an ever-growing selection of personalised Christmas presents. These include Prezzy Box and Getting Personal.

So here goes: a selection of some of the best personalised Christmas present gift ideas:

Personalised Commemorative Book - This Is Your Life from Getting Personal
This commemorative book is a wonderful way of reminding your loved-one about the key dates relating to their birthday with a complete selection of reproduced newspapers from the same date every ten years. It's not really cheap, but if you're just buying a Christmas present for a special person then why not get one of these? They're probably ideal for someone that's getting on a bit as you'll get more for your money.

Personalised Warholesque Pop Art Canvas Print from The Bespoke Gift Company
It's a fairly handy 40" by 40" and has a 4cm deep wooden frame. All you do is send in a photo and they'll do the rest. Again, this personalised Christmas gift isn't cheap as it's £84.95, but again, it could make a great present for your mother. Check out The Bespoke Gift Company for more information.

Personalised Ballpoint Pen from 24ace
Now, if the other personalisd gifts were a bit too much then why not spend £1.99 on a personalised ballpoint pen. I know its no fountain pen. But if you're buying a personalised secret santa present, or you're just trying to find a stocking filler, then this could be the pefect gift. You can get it from 24ace for less than the price of a pint.

Pink Personalised Embroidered Socks from the Sock Shop
You actually get to choose from 50 names - so if the person you're buying for then you may not have much luck, but it may be interesting to find out if they have got their name. I get my socks mixed up with my girlfriend's, now if I had pink socks (which I obviously don't) they'll still get mixed up. With personalised socks there can't be any chance of getting them mixed up - unless you share the same name then that's a bit freaky anyway! You can get them from Sock Shop.

Personalised Gents Leather Message Wallet from 24ace
They also do a personalised purse too for £3.99. You can have up to three lines of 19 letters so you should be able to get most messages on there. A message I may get for my girlfriend would be "Don't waste your money on useless magazines, Love Lee". I'm sure you could come up with your own witty comment! At that prices its a worthwhile gift from 24ace.

Personalised Mugs from Getting Personal
Loads of people search for personalised mugs at Christmas, so it would be remise of me not to include them. Getting Personal do a wide range of them for £9.95 - not necessarily the design I've got here!

High School Musical Trainer Bag With Personalised Towel from 24ace
High School Musical was one of the big films of the year and just like everyother big hit you'll be able to find every concievable item branded up and avaliable to your kids. If you've got a little girl, she'll probably love this. You can get it from 24ace for £7.99.

Silver Balloon CD - Your Child's Name in Music from Getting Personal
You can have some music for your child to fall asleep with and have their name in it too. The CD is 35 minutes long and your child's name will be sung more than 45 times. The Observer commented about it "a superior example of the genre bringing bright smiles to the early morning breakfast table". I think its a fantastic personalised music gift and you can get it from Getting Personal for £13.95.

Name a Star from Prezzybox
No personalised Christmas gift ideas list would be complete without a name a star gift. There's still some people out there that don't have a star named after them (including me). If that also includes a loved-one then you can pick one up from Prezzybox for just £29.95.

Tatty Teddy Personalised Message Bear from A1Gifts
Now this is a cute personalised teddy bear which can have a message on his jumper of up to 50 charcters. It stands about 30cm tall and would make a nice personalised Christmas gift for a small child and you can get it from A1Gifts for just £14.95.

Personalised Classic Romance Champagne from Getting Personal
Personalised Champagne is very popular at Christmas so if you've never got someone a bottle of bubbly with their name on, then now's your chance! They're not cheap as you'll end up paying around £39.95, but shop around. Also try, Prezzy Box.
