It’s amazing how many personalised gifts are available to buy these days. Some of which I didn’t even know could be until recently. You see, I am currently on the hunt for all sorts of gifts from birthday (various), Mother’s Day, Father’s Day and first baby gifts etc. On my adventure around the internet, I discovered some lovely gifts that can be given the personal touch to make them that bit more special. I thought I would share this with you as I know we all get stuck sometimes when buying gifts so this might help inspire and help with gift choices.
Gifts That Can Be Personalised
Chocolate
I had to put this first as I have numerous people that I buy chocolate for each year as they love it. I know Easter is coming up and know Thorntons do personalised Easter Eggs but I thought that was as far as it went with their personalisation. Boy, was I wrong! I looked on the Thorntons site for gift inspiration and found that they also personalise boxes of chocolates, truffles, chocolate models and more!!! I’m quite liking the thought of a personalised hamper that sounds great.
Alcohol Bottles
There is no mistaking whose bottle of wine/brandy/champagne it is when you have your name and photo plastered on the front of it. Regular readers may recall my dad enjoys drinking both wine and gin. Apparently personalising a bottle is as easy as 1,2,3 on the Prestige Drinks website. The range of drinks is pretty varied too which is great and means you can match every drinker you know to at least a handful of bottles each.
Perfume Bottles
I didn’t know these existed before writing this!!! What a lovely idea. Perfume bottles can be so pretty and what better than one with your name on it. I have a friend that loves Kenzo and so I plan to see if I can find this on the list of 350 personalisable bottles available on The Perfume Shop Website. Let’s hope it’s there as then that’s another birthday gift covered.
Relaxation Gift Box
Another wonderful discovery was a relaxation gift box from Banks-Lyon. It’s nice to treat someone to a little pampering. The etched wooden box includes a face mask, candle and mineral bath infusion and makes a lovely keepsake. This box can be tailored to preferences and a personal message added.
Candles
One for the hubby here. Mine is totally obsessed with Yankee Candles and quite rightly so. His favourites are the large Eucalyptus and the Lavender jars and he burns them every day when he has a bath. They’re really lovely and the scent fills the hallway to the bathroom which is nice. I think he’d love it if I personalised a candle as a gift for him and the good thing is I don’t have to wait to do it for his birthday, Christmas or Father’s Day. The question is do I use a picture of him or the children or one of each!

My husband LOVES Jones Soda and I’ve been contemplating getting him some personalized bottles, just because I think it would be cute and fun. These are all awesome options.
Sounds like a great idea. Have fun shopping Krysten.
I love personalized gifts because it makes you feel someone put a lot of thoughts, time and heart on it. The chocolate idea is my favourite!
That sure is a good one. Chocolate is one of the top gifts for many.
A relaxation gift box sound so great! I love gifts that aren’t the typical things and are a little more personal. This sounds like the perfect Mother’s Day gift.
It would make a great Mother’s Day gift. I know my mum would love one.
I had no idea you could have any of that personalized, either! I would love a box of personalized chocolate, then I can claim they are mine and no one else can have any!!
I know!!! I thought I should write a Mother’s Day post and when searching for post idea inspiration discovered how many things could be personalised so thought it would be perfect for a post.
I agree with you! I always give chocolate as a gift because of many people like chocolate.
It’s such a popular gift. I don’t know many that don’t like chocolate.
Oh wow how cool! I love personalising things make sit much more meaningful. I like the idea of personalised candles xx
Same here. I know hubby would love them x
I only knew about personalised perfume bottles but I had no idea all of these could be personalised!that’s such a nice touch!!
It really is. There are so many personalised options these days. I’m sure many of which I still haven’t discovered.
I knew that chocolate could be personalized, but I had no idea about alcohol bottles and perfume bottles. This is pretty cool. But I like to give as personalized gifts are personalized picture frames.
Personalise picture frames sound like a good idea too. I know someone that would be perfect for. Thanks for the suggestion Jessie.
Oh! I love gifts that personalized and creative. And those things you’ve mentioned are very helpful, perfect gifts!
Glad you liked the post. It’s great to get gift inspiration when you need it.
All of those sound like a lot of fun. But I think with the chocolate and candles I would be sad to see them go if I had them personalized. It is pretty cool.
I suppose the candle could be kept although I doubt chocolate would last long in anyone’s home.
How cool to personalize a box of chocolate! Since it’s one of my favorite gifts to give, it makes sense to go the extra mile.
I know, who wouldn’t want personalised chocolates!!!!!
I did the perfume bottle for my husband 3 years for father’s day, he was so happy and still has that bottle. I think personalizing the gift gives it a special touch.
It sure does. I think it’s great. I didn’t know you could personalise them before!
I love anything that is personalized, especially with my kids names. Personalized gifts are the best gifts in my opinion.
It’s interesting to see almost everything can now be personalised.
Oh nice, I always love when I can personalize things. It also means they can’t re-gift 😉 I might have to get my mom a candle. And chocolates!
I think I will get some personalized chocolate! That sounds like fun to me! Great gift for others and for yourself! 😉
They do make a great for everyone x
So cool! I have a mother and sister have birthdays coming up. I’ll have to keep some of these ideas in mind for a personalized touch. Thanks for the ideas!
They are perfect for an occasion Tiffany x
I’ve seen personalized labels on bottles of wine for weddings and wedding showers. I did not know there were more products out there! These will make great gift ideas!
Glad it wasn’t just me that hadn’t a clue there were so many items that could be personalised lol x
So many great ideas for personalised gifts. I would love to give a nice bottle of wine that has the name of the recipient it makes it special.
I agree it does make it a much nicer gift.
It is amazing all the different things you can have personalised these days! I love that you can get boxes of chocolate and the like!
Same here. It’s amazing what can now be personalised.
I love personalizing gifts. It really feels like you’ve picked something out just for them! I love the perfume idea.
It sure does make it that bit more special.
Adding a personalized name or saying always makes the gift that much special. Never thought to personalize some of the things you mentioned.
It’s amazing how many gifts can be personalised.
I love personalized gifts. They really let the other person know you were thinking of them.
It’s great that there are so many items that can be personalised.
Who knew? Thanks so much for sharing this information. I love giving personalized gifts it seems to be something that most people really enjoy.
I have had wine labels personalized and it was fun! I love all your ideas, though. I can see some great ideas for future gift giving!
That’s great, I’m glad the post has inspired you with your future gift options.
I’m such a fan of personalized gifts. Especially these days where so many have unique names!
The mention of the perfume makes me smile. Sometimes when I buy a perfume, I don’t only look for the sweet that I like but the shape of the bottle as well.
Have one personalised would be even better then!!
Perfume bottles?! I would totally gift that to myself – or perhaps drop a hint to hubby for my birthday!
They make great gift x
I love the idea of personalized gift boxes. I pretty much love anything personalized though.
Personalised items can make lovely gifts.
I have always loved personalized gifts. I love receiving them as well as gifting them. Didn’t know there’s personalized perfume bottles though.
I know, I didn’t know perfume could be personalised either!!! It’s great.
My kiddos always love to receive the really good chocolate for holidays. I spoiled them long ago because all I was ever allowed when I was a child was good choclate from Germany so I don’t like “regular” choclate LOL
Once you’ve tried good chocolate there is no going back!!!
I am really liking the idea of the personalized relaxation box. I think this could make an amazing birthday gift.
It is a nice idea and we all need to get a little relaxation every so often.
