That’s why I’ve done some research and found a bunch of really amazing personalized gifts you can order that will go the extra mile and really show them that you’re thinking of them. Check these out…

Personalized Gifts

Nothing quite says “I really took the time to think of you and how much I care” like a personalized gift. Even something as simple as a a gift where their name can be added can really make a difference. So here are some great ideas for personalized gifts that also support the handmade community.

Custom Dolls

One really fun gift idea is Custom dolls… There are so many different options out there for adorable personalized dolls, either for display or for play, that you really can’t go wrong giving the gift of a custom doll. Here are some of my favorite:

Custom Family Portrait Dolls from Warm Mood Studio

How cute would it be to order your loved ones a personalized family portrait in the form of lovely and unique dolls? These are GORGEOUS, and truly unique, anyone would love to have one done of their family.

Custom Peg Dolls from Peg and Plum

Peg dolls have become adorably popular in the last few years. The three above are from a SUPER cute shop called Peg and Plum, which is one of my favorite little peg doll shops I’ve found on Etsy. She does such cute work, and has such a wide array of options available.

Custom Peg Dolls from Other Shops

However, if you’d like a few more options, here are some other super cute custom peg dolls from other Etsy shops:

Custom Home Portraits

Another super-fun custom item you can have commissioned is related to their home instead of their families/kids/pets. Home portraits can be fun if they own their own home, are in their very first home together, or live in a home that has been in the family for a while.  It’s such a great memento/keepsake.
