The Best Personalized Gift Ideas
A personalized present automatically says one-of-a-kind and is sure to be cherished. Here are my favorite personalized gift ideas for any occasion:
- Personalized Stationary - Beautiful, custom stationary is a great gift for loved ones, as well as bosses and co-workers. Paper Source has tons of options, from whimsical to classic. My favorites include the fun Multicolor Chevron Stationary, the gorgeous Marble Stationary, and the lovely Bombshell Stationary. You can find custom stamps and embossers, as well as personalized note pads sets, planners, and more, at Paper Source.
- Lively Stripes Serving Tray - Know someone who loves to entertain? Then she'd adore a fun acrylic tray embellished with her favorite photos. Shutterfly has lots of cute tray options (you can even upload your own design), and this classic design is one of my faves.
- Alex and Ani Bangles - Build a completely custom charm bracelet. Each of the charms that Alex and Ani offers has a special meaning. If you're creating a stack, I'd start with an initial charm, like this Initial P Charm Bangle. Then add some fun and meaningful charms, based on her personality or interests.
- Monogram Rustic Wood Sign - How sweet is this sign? Personalize it with a first name or surname initial.
- Incognito Y Chain - I love the subtle glamour of this necklace. It's an understated, yet stylish way to wear a piece of custom jewelry.
- Floral Frame Candle - Shutterfly offers lots of cute candle designs, and this one is so sweet. Customize it with a photo or monogram, and choose the scent, too.
- Big and Little Dipper Set - This set from Alex and Ani isn't personalized by I couldn't resist including it. There comes a time in everyone’s life when they need someone to lean on, someone who will protect them and keep them on the right track. The Big Dipper, like a safe haven, watches over the Little Dipper, symbolic of the unbreakable bonds we share. Give the Big Dipper Bangle to your mom, sister, or friend, and keep the Little Dipper Bangle for yourself (or vice versa).
- West 57th Kangaroo Wallet - I love the bright color of this classic wallet. Personalize it with the recipient's monogram.
- Block Acrylic Monogram Coaster Set - Perfect for anyone who enjoys entertaining ... these monogram coasters are simply beautiful.
- Kate Spade New York 'Down to Business' Business Card Holder - This cute business card holder will brighten up any working lady's day.

- Doodle Frame Pillow - How sweet would this pillow look in a family room? Customize it with a favorite photo or choose one of the other designs offered by Shutterfly.
- Three Letter Monogram Wine Glass - Help someone special escape the stresses of the day with their own personalized wine glass!
- West 57th Studded Bag Tag - Know someone who loves traveling? Then, she'd love a gorgeous luggage tag customized with her monogram.
- Personalized Canvas Tote - Fill this cute bag with treats, like everything you'd need for an at home spa day or a gourmet meal. Also comes in silver.

There are three ways to create your book: Custom Path (layout the book exactly the way you want); Simple Path (Shutterfly will automatically place the photos in your book); and Make My Book (Shutterfly's designers will make a book for you ).
