These 19 Personalised Gifts Are Chic and Meaningful in Equal Measure
I don't mean to brag, but I'm known amongst my friends and family for being a maverick gift buyer. In fact, I think I get more of a thrill buying presents for other people than I do treating myself. Likely because it makes me feel less guilty. Regardless, I've bought enough Christmas gifts in my time to know which have gone down the best. Without fail, it's always those of the personalised variety.
Monogramming and personalisation have long been a thing but now, particularly for 2019, there are so many customisable gifts to be had that feel more fashionable than ever. From gorgeous initial necklaces and keyrings that are ideal for bestowing your entire group of friends with, right the way up to a bespoke Chloé bag (take note, Santa), I've found the best personalised gifts for every budget and recipient (including you!). But don't take my word for it—feast your eyes on the monogrammed goodness below.
From the base hues to the colour of that now-iconic "C," you can now personalise your very own Chloé bag on MyTheresa.
Jo Malone offers complimentary engraving on just about every item in-store. Opt for either initial on the lid or a name etched on the base of the glass.
If they like initial necklaces, then they'll love this supersized neck candy.
You can make this classic camel scarf bespoke thanks to the brand's initial embroidery service.
Because who doesn't want a hardback notebook with their full name on it?
This gorgeous engravable signet ring also comes in yellow gold.
One for those who view drinks trolley curation for the art form it is. You can have a bespoke message engraved along the side of this bottle, inclusive of the price.
Trust us—these initialled cardholders always go down well with friends.
One of the chicest initial jumpers we think we've ever seen.
This personalised name trinket dish will put a smile on their face every time they put on their favourite jewels.
Probably the cutest stocking filler or Secret Santa gift we've ever come across.
From the metallic heel to the subtle pining down the front, you can choose which colours you'd like every part of these Nicholas Kirkwood mules to be, resulting in a one-of-a-kind pair of designer shoes.
Make a new set of pyjamas feel incredibly special by splashing out on Piglet's monogramming service.
Help them avoid any awkward dinner party encounters by giving them their own personalised cheeseboard to perch their selection of brie and manchego upon.
Okay, so it might not feature their initials, but just imagine their faces when they open this eye shadow palette and realise that all the colours have been thoughtfully handpicked by you.
The mismatched earring trend, which was evident on the autumn/winter 2019 runways, is given a sentimental touch by Theodora Warre.
Slippers are a quintessential Christmas present, but the bespoke initially takes these shearling numbers to the next, incredibly cool gifting level.
