Personalised Christmas Gifts

This is how you turn an ordinary Christmas gift into a unique present with a personal message. Below, discover the possibilities for putting together your own Christmas gift.

Personalised Christmas gifts for everyone

You create a personalised Christmas gift yourself: you add a name, date, photo or logo to a bottle, candle or care product. This turns an ordinary Christmas gift into an original Christmas present with a personal message, tailored to the recipient.

Personalisation is possible in various ways, depending on the product:

• A custom label with a name, text or Christmas wish on bottles and packaging
• A printed label with initials or a date
• Adding a photo of your choice to the design
• A QR code linking to a personal message, photo or video
• A logo for a business or colleague gift with company identity

These options are available across the entire makeyour.com catalogue, from drinks and candles to care products and food. This way, you decide how much personalisation to add, from a simple name to a fully custom design with photo and text. View our full Christmas gift range to discover all the options per product.

Christmas gifts for every budget

A personalised Christmas gift doesn't have to be expensive. At makeyour.com you'll find options from €6,95 up to luxury magnums around €110, each with the same premium finish and personal touch. The table below shows which gift scores best per price range.

If you're looking for a Christmas gift under 20 euros, the Mini Candle or the Celebration Bubbles Package is already a great personal gesture. Want to push the boat out a bit more, then go for a mid-range gift package or a luxury magnum as an eye-catcher under the Christmas tree. For inspiration per recipient, check out the guides gift for him, gift for her, gift for mum and gift for dad, or let yourself be surprised by 5 original Christmas gifts.

This year's most popular Christmas gifts

The most ordered Christmas gifts this season are all personalisable: whisky, olive oil and spiced rum top the ranking, followed by the personalised hip flask and candle. This ranking is based on makeyour.com's own sales figures and shows which unique Christmas gifts are truly scoring this year as a Christmas present.

1. Premium Scotch Whisky — by a wide margin, the most popular Christmas gift of the season.
2. Spanish Extra Virgin Olive Oil — by a wide margin.
3. Premium Spiced Rum — by a wide margin, closely followed by the olive oil.
4. Personalised Hip Flask — almost.
5. Personalised Candle — by a wide margin.

Whisky, rum and the hip flask are typical examples of a Christmas gift for men, while the olive oil and candle score more broadly as a table or house gift. Anyone looking for a gift that returns to the top five every year practically always chooses a bottle with a name or date on it.

Christmas gifts for him and her

A Christmas gift for men scores best with a personalised whisky or rum magnum with a name or date on the label, while a Christmas gift for women tends to go towards a champagne magnum or a pampering package with a personal message on it.

The difference, therefore, lies less in the type of label and more in the contents of the bottle or package itself. If you want to dive deeper into what works exactly for him or her, you'll find that elaboration in the sections gift for him and gift for her. For those with a male recipient specifically on the list, there's also the dedicated page Christmas Gift for Men with targeted options for that occasion.

Christmas gifts for parents and grandparents

For mum, dad, grandma or grandpa, the best choice is a Christmas gift with a personal message, as that touches more than a standard gift. Think of a Personalised Pampering Package for €60,80 or an Olive Oil Gift Package for €50,40 with a name or custom text on it.

A Christmas gift for parents is mainly about showing gratitude: a short text like "thank you for everything" or the grandchildren's names instantly make the package personal. For a Christmas gift for grandma or grandpa, that same approach works just as well, because a personalised touch shows that real thought went into it.

Original Christmas gift ideas with a name or custom label

An original Christmas gift stands out with a personally printed label, initials or a surprising detail such as a QR code with a secret message. Such a luxury Christmas gift with a custom label leaves a lasting impression longer than a standard present, because it's made specially for that one person.

• A Personalised Whisky Magnum (€99,95) with a name, printed label and QR code that plays a personal video message or text when scanned
• A Personalised Rum Magnum (€99,95) with initials on the label, ideal as an original Christmas gift with a surprising extra
• A label with your own text, date or short Christmas message instead of a standard greeting
• Combinations of initials and photo for a luxury look at no extra cost
