Personalised Christmas Gifts for Kids and Families

Personalised Christmas Gifts for Kids and Families

Bring on the festive countdown! If you’re still searching for thoughtful Christmas gifts that will be perfect for children (and all the family) don’t worry – you’re in very good company!

We can’t help with your meal prep or cocktail lists, but we can ease the burden of shopping for thoughtful, memorable Christmas gifts for kids and loved ones with this handy guide.

 

Why Personalised Gifts Mean More

Personalised letters prints from Alf and Bet - a truly unique gift for babies, toddlers, children and teenagers

When it comes to thoughtful gifting, what could be more personal than something that is customised? Every person you know is one-of-a-kind, and in our experience, receiving a gift that is as unique as you are is always meaningful. A personalised gift indicates that time, effort, energy and a knowledge of the person themselves is present, in the present.

Of course, this doesn’t mean that your gift shopping needs to be difficult or expensive. We’ve highlighted some of our favourite personalised print designs – including our ever popular Personalised Letter Prints above. All of our designs come in a range of easy-to-frame print sizes and a variety of price points to suit every space and budget.

 

For a Baby’s First Christmas

Personalised name and date print - a perfect gift for babies, newborns and nurseries

Has a family welcomed a new little one into the world this year? What better way to commemorate the milestone of baby’s first Christmas than with a colourful Name and Date Print – personalised with their initial, their name, and the date of this first festive occasion. The bold, vibrant colourways of this design are perfect for nurseries and playrooms, helping the little one to put their mark on the world from their very first Christmas - we also love combining it into a gallery with our A-Z Alphabet Print!

 

For the Newlywed’s First Christmas

Speaking of firsts, this year may be home to a happy couple’s first Christmas as a married couple, in another important milestone that is worth celebrating. To combine the beautiful memories of their big day with their first ever married Christmas, you can add their personal information to one of our Couples prints, pairing the initials of the individuals and their names together with the important date, adding ‘Our First Christmas’ as the caption, or writing your own memorable message.

 

For the Individuals

For a truly one-off gift, why not give someone a piece of personalised artwork in your own words. Our personalised special occasion prints are a novel way to celebrate a friend or family member’s personal qualities, their achievements or a fun way to tell them why you think they’re great!

Personalised couples prints - a perfect gift for a Christmas wedding engagement or anniversary

With this print, you can highlight four amazing achievements, memorable moments, personal qualities or quirky characteristics – it’s completely up to you how you want to personalise the text. And for a truly personal touch you can add their initial and name, and a special message and date below. Plus there are 15 beautiful colour variations to choose from – plenty of choice to suit even the most individual taste! See the full range here.

 

We’re here to help!

As you can probably tell, we’re passionate about personalised gifts for kids and families, but that’s not all. Truly what means the most to us is helping people like you find gifts that will mean the world to their recipients, and making the process as easy as possible.

For example, we have designed a lot of different colourways of each print so that you can find the perfect hues, and offer the prints in easy-to-frame sizes so you can add your own frame as the finishing touch.

We’ve tried to make the ordering process as easy as possible, plus when you buy any personalised print, you’ll always get a proof sent to you by email so you have the chance to check the artwork before we make your print for you. Then, we print it right here in our East London studio, using archival quality inks and beautifully thick matte paper to ensure your print lasts the test of time.

We hope that with this gift guide, we can help your Christmas shopping become the festive joy that it should be, and, that by ticking one of the many tasks off the to-do list, you have more space for the rest of the party, cocktail and meal planning (pigs in blankets are always a crowd favourite!).
