One of the biggest gifting trend we’re seeing is customisation and personalisation. Gifts tailored to an individual or group are incredibly thoughtful, as they usually show you spent time organising and planning the present well in advance of the day.
Most importantly, though, in my opinion, personalised gifts mean the recipient has basically zero chance of regifting them, unless they happen to know someone with their same name or initials, that is.
Customised and personalised gifts make great options for presents this holiday season. So, from luggage you can get customised with your loved ones’ pet’s face, to a pendant you can personalise with their fingerprint, we’ve rounded up some of our favourite gifts you can get tailored for friends and family this holiday season.
The Dairy Personalised Phone Case, Starting at $69.95
Phone cases make great gifts, so it’s worth the effort to find out what kind of phone your loved one has. Then, hop on The Dairy’s website, select the model and design their new favourite phone case. They make cases for iPhones as well as Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel phones.
Maison de Sabré The Tech Pouch, $139
Gift someone this leather bag for electronic accessories, and they’ll have it for years to come. It’s made from full-grain, European leather and in a classic design. Personalise the case with up to three letters, in your choice of gold, rose gold or silver.
Monte Slippers, $130-$165
Melbourne brand Monte’s unisex slippers and slides come in terry towelling, velvet and super-soft shearling, as well as a range of colours. Personalise a pair with monogramming available on select styles. You can choose initials or spell out a name with letters on top of each other.
Frank Green Pet Collar and Name Tag, Starting at $49.95
Your pet deserves a Christmas gift, too. Choose from small, medium and large collars, and colours like mint green, blushed and neon orange. Then, add in your pet’s name and wait to receive. Like the rest of Frank Green’s products, these collars are designed to be sturdy and lasting, so you’ll have them for years.
July Custom Luggage, Starting at $390
Notice your friend or family member needing a suitcase update? Or have they mentioned going on a holiday? Consider getting them a travel bag or suitcase from Melbourne brand July. For an extra $65, July will customise it with their name, initials, or if they’ve got a pet, its face. If a suitcase is out of your budget, July’s got drink bottles you can personalise too.
Peppermint Grove Candle, $34.95
Over the holiday period, Peppermint Grove Fragrances is offering free engraving on the lids of its candle. First, choose your candle scent, then pick your candle size and finally add your personalised message of up to 40 characters.
Chouchou Intimates Personalised Knickers, $35.95
Gift someone or yourself these knickers from Chouchou Intimates personalised with up to 10 characters. Choose from bikini brief or G-string. The brand was founded in Sydney in 2019, and counts TikTok star Addison Rae as a fan.
