Revive the Spirit of Christmas with These Customized Gift Suggestions

The holiday season is fast approaching once more, and it's the ideal moment to begin contemplating gifts for your cherished ones. Sadly, holiday gift-giving can quickly become an act of consumerism, losing its heartfelt essence. The good news is that by choosing more bespoke gifts, you can restore the genuine spirit of Christmas. Below, we share some of the top personalized Christmas gift ideas for 2021.

Customized Keepsake Box

Personalizing through monogramming adds a touch of elegance to any gift and can be applied to items from towels to smartphones. However, a keepsake box is one of the most meaningful monogrammed gifts, as it provides a place for the recipient to store their treasured mementos. Each time they look through their cherished possessions, they'll be reminded of your bond.

A Cameo Video Greeting

A contemporary spin on personalized gifts is to use the Cameo platform to request a video message from a beloved celebrity. You can ask the celebrity to mention your loved one's name and include a specific greeting, like ‘Merry Christmas.' Celebrities from films, TV, and social media often include their catchphrases, adding a unique, fun touch to your personalized gift.

However, bear in mind that celebrities set their own prices, so some like Ice Cube demand over $500, while others like Carson Kressley charge around $50.

A Tailored Book

Personalized books offer several wonderful options. One is a photo book, where you can select pictures and arrange them using a drag-and-drop service, resulting in a glossy printed keepsake. Another option is a customized picture book, perfect for children, especially with a festive theme. Simply provide your child's name and a few other details, and the publisher will create a story with your child as the main character—ideal for Christmas Eve or Christmas morning.

Additionally, consider a personalized love story book for your significant other. These books are filled with sweet custom illustrations and reasons why you adore them, making them feel cherished and appreciated during the holiday season.

Birthstone Jewelry for Moms and Grandmothers

Another elegant option is birthstone jewelry that celebrates family ties. You can purchase a necklace or ring featuring the recipient's birthstone. Alternatively, consider multiple pieces designed to be worn together. This works especially well for moms and grandmothers, where each piece corresponds to the birth month of each child or grandchild.
