Our Personalised Christmas Gift Guide
We’ve created a gift guide of our favourite personalised small business presents this festive season for kids and adults!
It can be so hard to find anything original to give people, and we think personalised presents are an awesome solution! We love gifts that are created specifically for the person receiving them, or purchased with their favourite things, or specific experiences and hobbies in mind - it’s always great to come across something bespoke that feels that little bit more thoughtful and unique.
So here’s a Christmas Gift Guide to the personalised small businesses we love - Happy Shopping!
First up we have to mention these personalised Christmas cards from the super awesome Little Florence Art!
You can make a DIY personalised family Christmas card with a super easy to follow personalising tool online. It’s such a lovely memory for the festive season, and something unique to send to friends and family.
We created our own this year and I loved the process (and didn’t do much work that day as it was so fun trying out options.)
They also create fab personalised family portrait prints which make a really lovely thoughtful and personal Christmas gift of one of a kind artwork - you can either personalise it yourself online or send it to their team to personalise for you.
It’s probably clear that we absolutely LOVE personalised art so we were really excited to find this company which offers something thoughtful and bespoke for the family that has everything.
Another small business we only came across recently is Tales of Me Books who do these gorgeous personalised Tales of starting school, becoming a sibling etc.
I love buying starting school books for friends’ little ones and wish I had known about these before! It’s such a cute idea.
The idea is for the child to create a personalised story of important experiences and their aim is to use ‘the power of personalisation…to help parents and children turn the big adventures in life into personalised tales’, Amelie would have absolutely LOVED this if it had been given to her and I think it’s a great Christmas present for any child about to embark on a new phase.
The awesome mums that founded this small business also run a fab instagram account which helps parents navigate a lot of these moments too, with everything from tips for parents’ evenings to how to navigate all the acronyms and lingo of the school system!
We’ve also long been fans of Lady Bakewell Park’s biccies and we were gifted a personalised selection when Felix was born which I made my way through way too quickly…
Our bespoke box came with his name on some yummy biscuits, alongside lots of funny new baby/tired mum phrases. It was such a cute gift but also super tasty and really thoughtful.
This is one of the Christmas selections available, but there are so many personalised options to choose from both festive and not.
Choose your message and personalise your selection - I’ve seen some hilarious messages on LBP biscuits via their instagram account. It’s so nice to put a personal touch on your baked goods! It’s a super cute Christmas gift.
We also really love the amazing personalised gifts created by Dinky Artist, which you will probably already know if you follow our account!
We have always been into the idea of preserving Amelie’s favourite art work and my husband once printed one of her drawings on to a white T-shirt she had… so we are so excited that the awesome Mum behind this small biz has taken gorgeous little people’s drawings and turned them into long lasting artwork on a variety of brilliant items to keep forever.
These family PJs are just one of the things you could have your little one’s drawing on - but they also do all sorts of other things including mugs, chopping boards and hoodies!
There is so much pride and excitement that goes into a child’s artwork and it’s such a beautiful and thoughtful bespoke Christmas gift for a parent or grandparent. Click here to have a browse.
Next up comes a recommendation from one of our lovely Instagram followers Little Leopard and I who is all over what’s good in small business world!
These personalised keyrings from Konoc are so up my street (so if you know me please can I have one for Christmas haha!)
My personal favourite personalisations are ‘Mad House’ and ‘Miss ya Face’ but the possibilities are endless. You can customise your keyring with any name or short message and choose from a variety of colour leathers, keyrings and fonts. Choose a nickname, name or special date.
We love that all the text is hand stamped and not done by a machine in their crafting studio in Surrey. A proper small business treat that feels really thoughtful and will be used every day!
If you’re looking for something personalised for your child’s bedroom, the prints from Child Star Samantha are beautifully vibrant and fun and can be customised with your child’s name or a message of your choice.
I love the retro style of these really original prints and we’re already a big fan of the other fun colourful products stocked by this lovely lady too. Everything she stocks makes us smile. You can take a look at her Etsy shop here
Finally, when you have chosen your gift, what better way to personalise it than with their very own Gloria and Mabel reusable gift tag!
This is such an awesome idea, and a really easy way to be a bit more environmentally friendly this year…it’s a lovely crafty small business that does all sorts of great personalised gifts so go have a snoop around - but get on it quick so they have time to make it!
Oh yes and of course don’t forget us!
We can’t create a personalised Christmas Gift Guide without mentioning our Personalised T-shirt painting kits!
Choose a child’s: T-shirt size, Initial or age, Favourite theme, Favourite Colours…and gift them everything they need to create the one of a kind T-shirt of their dreams!
Themes include Dino (seen below), Unicorns, fairies and mermaids, Jungle, Space and Superhero (and we also do a special edition Christmas kit)
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
