Personalized gifts are an excellent way of telling your favorite person how much you love and care for them. These gifts are ideal for nearly every person and for every occasion, be it birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, graduation, or festivals. However, deciding what item to personalize and how may not be easy. To help you get started, we have rounded up ten thoughtful and trending personalized gifts for men and women this year.
Away Carry-On
If you’re planning to gift something to a globetrotter, the Carry-On from Away is the perfect choice. It has a durable polycarbonate hard shell and can fit in the overhead bin of most major airlines. The lightweight bag looks modern, comes in eight different shades, and features 360-degree spinner wheels. The best part? It’s TSA-approved. For an additional $10, Away lets you personalize the luggage tag with your loved one’s initials.

Is your loved one fond of writing letters? If yes, a custom address stamp may be the perfect gift for them. It eliminates the burden of writing out their home address in every correspondence. Check out the custom stamp gift set from specialty retailer Paper Source. The set includes a self-inking stamper, one black ink cartridge, and a gift certificate that allows the user to create their own stamp plate online.
Custom face socks
Nothing is as amusing and functional as a pair of customized socks. You can order these from websites like DivvyUp socks. All you have to do is upload an image of your recipient or something they love, select the background color or print, and place the order, which will arrive on your doorstep in a couple of weeks. Personalized socks can be as durable and comfortable as regular socks.
Apple AirPods Pro
There’s probably no one who wouldn’t want a pair of wireless earphones. And it’s no secret that the Apple AirPods Pro is a go-to choice for many. But did you know that Apple lets you engrave the AirPods’ wireless charging case with a mix of emoji, names, initials, and numbers completely free of charge? Yes, you read that right!

Personalized cookbook
Bring a smile to your favorite home chef’s face by transferring their handwritten recipes to a custom-printed recipe book that lies flat on the countertop while they cook. Personalized gifts’ website Pinhole Press allows you to design a premium hardcover cookbook by choosing from a selection of ten cloth colors and using different photos and text layouts to feature a range of recipes on its thick pages. You can even add or remove pages according to your needs.
Personalized pet ID tags
Perhaps every pet owner might appreciate this invaluable gift. You can check out customizable dog and cat ID tags from Frisco, available at Chewy. Made with stainless steel, the tags are highly durable and come in different shapes that can include up to four lines of text on each side. We recommend that you personalize the tag with the pet’s name, along with the address and emergency contact information of the pet owner.
Monogrammed robes
Know someone who prefers a cozy lifestyle? Consider gifting them a customized long robe to make them feel extra special every time they wear it. Besides adding a personalized monogram in different thread colors and font styles, some sellers allow you to choose from white or patterned fabric and even pick the piping color. Buy something ultra soft and comfortable from websites like L.L.Bean, Weezie, and Pottery Barn.
Night sky star map
If you happen to know the day that matters the most to your loved one, whether it’s their birthday, wedding day, or any special day, you can create a custom sky map that shows the stars aligned exactly as they were at that location on that date. Interesting, isn’t it? For this, visit the official website of The Night Sky and personalize the star map poster with a personal message or quote, designs, and other elements.
Recipe cutting board
Cutting boards are must-have kitchen equipment. You can engrave a cutting board with the gift recipient’s treasured family recipe—in the original handwriting—so they always have their favorite recipe handy. Available at websites like Etsy, these cutting boards have a rustic and elegant finish, thanks to their wooden construction.
Family mugs
Personalized family mugs make for ideal housewarming or Christmas gifts. The only effort you need to make for this gift is to design cartoon versions of family members, which will then be printed on their mugs. Uncommon Goods sells family mugs that can be personalized with the mug recipient’s first name, and provides numerous options for the character’s skin tone, hair color, clothing accent colors, and much more to give the mugs a unique and personal touch.
