It’s time to start thinking seriously about what you’re giving everyone for the holidays… You don’t want to be caught at three days til Christmas with no ideas and no gifts purchased, especially not if you want a gift that will wow them with your thoughtfulness. It could be anything from one of these custom needlepoint accessories to any others you could find available, the options are actually endless. 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. You might want to visit Pixaprints if you’re interested in seeing a whole range of personalised gifts for loved ones, but I’ve selected some options of my own that I personally love. 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. Or you can go one step further and look at places like Giftlab to see how you can put your faces on anything from shower curtains to wallets. Doesn’t that sound good? But it’s the thought that counts after all. 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… In my opinion, you really can’t go wrong giving the gift of a custom doll. These custom bobbleheads dolls make fantastic gifts for all ages too. There are so many different options out there for adorable personalized dolls, either for display or for play.
Here are some of my favorites:
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.

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.
