- Add some "just for you" joy when you give a personalized gift to a child in your life.
- We selected a variety of personalized gifts for kids of all ages, from a custom goodnight story to Star Wars jewelry, for an extra special gift-giving season.
Little kids write their names on every surface they can reach with a pen. Why not stop them before they start and get them a personalized gift? Emblazon their initials on a stuffed animal or give them the chance to practice their signature with letter-shaped crayons that spell their name.
As adults, we still remember the gifts that were specialized to our tastes and interests. Whether it's monogrammed with their initials or printed with a picture of their face, a customized gift reminds the recipient that careful thought was put into this moment.

- An educational puzzle of outer space ($25)
- A customized Star Wars bracelet ($12)
- A crayon set for a budding artist (from $20)

A sturdy and comfortable chair all their own
Crate & Barrel's Nod Chairs are a childhood staple, especially when printed with the lucky child's name. Available in small and large sizes, the chairs are made with sturdy polyfoam, so a small child would still be stable in the larger size. The removeable cover is 100% cotton, machine washable, and has a pocket in back for storage.

Great as a soft surface for newborn play, this lamb will also be comforting to a toddler in need of nighttime cuddles. The blanket is 15 by 15 inches when spread out. This product cannot be placed in an infant's crib — see the American Association of Pediatrics recommendations for safe sleep.
A set of cozy portrait socks
Combine humor and cozy feet in Divvy Up Face Socks! You can choose up to three faces to print on the polyester socks; make it a family portrait or a homage to your kid's best silly face. Celebrity photos are not allowed, and there's an extra charge for two or three different faces.
A super way to stop losing pencils
Get a pack of No. 2 pencils for your number one kid! Pencils are easy to lose, but a child will be more motivated to keep track of them when they carry a special message. Plus, this superhero pack comes with 24, so you'll have plenty of replacements on hand.
An engraved night light
The dark won't be scary any longer with this custom night light. Engraved with cursive letters, the night light comes with its own stand, USB cord, and wall adapter. The soft glow won't keep a child awake, but will provide a sense of security in the dark.
A huggable rocker for toddlers
For a toddler on the move, a personalized plush rocker is a great gift. Pottery Barn offers several plush animal rockers, but the giraffe is made of hypoallergenic polyester for sensitive noses. Each rocker can be personalized with nine characters on the solid wood runners. Recommended for children between 1 and 5 years old, the rockers are a huggable and safe nursery addition.
An educational space puzzle
Puzzles fly off the shelves when the cold weather forces us inside. Plan ahead and give the child in your life a puzzle unique to them with an educational outer space vista personalized with their name. The 24-pieces are made of recycled, laminated cardboard, and the image they'll put together shows the order of the planets around the sun.

A sweet mug for hot chocolate lovers
A cup of cocoa or a glass of milk will never taste better than it does in a custom 11-ounce ceramic mug. The Zazzle design studio appears complicated, but if you're using simple text or placing a single picture, it isn't too difficult. Ignore the fancy options or go all out in creating the most unique coffee mug known to humankind. It will be microwave and dishwasher safe either way.
A cuddly elephant for a special occasion
Mark an occasion with this plush elephant and select up to three lines of text to be embroidered on its ear. There are two font options and more than 10 thread colors to choose from.

A silly sticker sheet for laughs anywhere
My Sticker Face Sticker Sheet is the giggly gift that keeps on giving. Feature any of your loved ones, human or pet, on this unique sticker set and let the silliness begin. The sampler pack comes with a variety of sizes, and all the stickers are microwave and dishwasher safe. Put a face on a child's favorite cup or on the bottom of a plate as a reward for finished vegetables.
A crayon set for the artist who doesn't like to share
Multicolored crayons are exciting for kids, and when they spell their name, coloring is even more fun! This set is made with recycled crayons, and your personalization will be stamped on the recycled cardboard gift box. The base price is for one to four letters, but you can include up to 14 letters for extra. These are not recommended for children under 4 due to choking hazards.
A chart for those excited about every inch
When a half-inch taller feels as big as a foot, a personalized growth chart is a great way for kids to celebrate. Oopsy Daisy has several unique canvas prints to choose from, including a unicorn and a llama. Each one comes with grommets in the corners and decorative screw covers for easy hanging. The height markers start at 24 inches and go up to 60.
A personal touch for reluctant homework-doers
For a burgeoning artist or a disorganized homework station, a monogrammed organizer provides a fun way for them to keep everything in one place. Give them a sense of ownership over their space by storing their markers and headphones in one of the three compartments. The rotating metal organizer measures 7 inches in diameter and 7.5 inches tall.
A personally decked-out tote bag
Whether it's carrying toys from to room or holding sleepover pajamas, a personalized tote bag makes traveling extra fun. This bag is made from canvas cotton that can feature an emblem, picture, or text of your choice. The design page is a little overwhelming, but the unique product is worth it. Washing is not recommended to preserve the design.
A rock star's own floor mat
If you have a music lover in the house, make them feel like a star by adding their name to an amp-printed doormat. This polyester-rubber mat is washable with a sponge and soapy water, so kids can rock inside and outside the house without bringing dirt with them.
A special towel for a beach lover
Your child may still leave this towel on the bathroom floor, but they'll never forget it at a friend's house. Personalize this 5-foot-long beach towel with their name or even a small message of up to 16 characters. The striped pattern is available in six bright colors.
