Shopping for gifts can seem silly sometimes. Does anyone really need me to pick out a pair of pajamas for them? If I order from Amazon, what am I really bringing to this that would not be better served by a gift card?
Not so with a personalized gift. You can use these to remember an important date, mark the birth of children, or even just identify which person a thing belongs to. You can personalize with a message that's important to you both or that fits what's happening in your recipient's life. These gifts are the kind of personal touch that elevates your role as the gift giver to something more than your money.
Unfortunately, personalized gifts are, often, completely cheesy in execution.
We found six on Etsy that are great, though. They are worth your time and effort and will thrill the person you gift them to.
Jewelry in Your Own Handwriting
Take a cellphone photo of a love note from one of the kids, a signature, or anything that's personal and important to you and this jeweler will recreate it as a necklace. You get to choose the metal and how long the necklace should be. Delicate, pretty, and personal. It's the perfect gift for someone important to you — maybe even yourself?

The Perfect Place for His Everything
Buying gifts for men can be a challenge. But most men would love the organization of this place to dock everything they carry in their pockets. Not only is it thoughtful and beautiful, it also will inject a bit of order into his life. And every time he uses it, which will probably be at least twice a day, he will be reminded that you get him.
Morse Code Message Bracelet
This delicate leather bracelet has a secret message. And you are the only one who knows the secret because it's in Morse code! Is it her name? A reminder of something the two of you shared?
Pick everything about this, from the leather to the color of the beads to the message. Your recipient will have to learn a little Morse code to understand you, but that's part of the trade craft, right?
A Beer Growler, Named
Know someone who loves craft beer? You can usually walk into your favorite brewery and have a growler filled with their beer to take home. This personalized growler will allow your beer-loving friend to drink at home. And no one will be confused about whose beer is in that growler because the owner's name is right on it!
