I like to consider myself an all-star gift giver. I make lists months in advance of what I plan to gift to friends and loved ones, so when the holiday season rolls around, I don’t have much to do other than order everything. But I have one problem: I procrastinate the actual ordering part, and I end up either scrambling to come up with another gift idea or paying an astronomical amount of money for 2-day shipping. Usually, it’s the latter.
CURRENTLY TRENDING / HOLIDAY
Need some gifting inspiration? No matter who you're shopping for, we found a slew of exciting gifts that are bound to leave them speechless.
This year, things are changing. I am going to be ordering gifts well in advance, and that means that I am even going to have enough time to order some personalized gifts. From monogrammed robes to custom-made jewelry and more, no late estimated arrival date or shipping cost is going to hold me back from giving some of my most thoughtful gifts to date. Here are 40+ personalized gifts that I am considering for loved ones:
