How did we choose these gifts?
We hand-picked these baubles from the range we stock. We chose each one for who it suits and what it does, so you can match a bauble to your tree or the person you're buying for.
We also kept a mix of kinds, so you can compare a glass bauble with a wooden one and a ceramic one side by side. Every one is made to order with the name, date or message you type, and comes with a free e-card.

What's the difference?
Each bauble is made from a different material. The Personalised Glass Christmas Tree Bauble is glass, with a glass Christmas tree inside, and its message is engraved in fixed uppercase. The Personalised Christmas Nutcracker Wooden Bauble is round wood, with ribbon included, and its text appears as entered.
The Personalised Sleepy Christmas Bear Bauble is ceramic, with a sleeping bear design. It is personalised on the front and the back, so it has room for more words. Sizes differ: the bear is 6 x 6 x 6 cm, the glass bauble 8 x 8 x 8 cm and the wooden one 10 x 10.7 x 0.6 cm.
Glass, wood and ceramic: the three compared
Glass, wood or ceramic? Each one hangs on your tree, but the material changes the look and feel. All three are personalised with your own words and made to order, so the choice comes down to the style you like best.
Personalised Glass Christmas Tree Bauble (£9.49)
A stylish upgrade to an everyday thing, this glass bauble holds a glass Christmas tree inside it. The tree catches the light and makes a bright, clear centrepiece on your branches. Your message is engraved across three lines, and it appears in capital letters. Because each one is handmade, you may see small water marks, which is part of the charm of a piece made just for you. It measures 8 x 8 x 8 cm, so it sits neatly among your other decorations. It makes a thoughtful gift for a couple's first Christmas in a new home, or for a family who likes to see their own words on the tree every year.
Best for: Couples and families at Christmas.
Personalised Christmas Nutcracker Wooden Bauble (£9.49)
This round wooden bauble has a traditional nutcracker design that suits a classic tree. It measures 10 x 10.7 x 0.6 cm, giving you room for three lines of your own words. Each line has its own length, so you can plan a short name for the top line and a longer message below. The ribbon is included, so it's ready to hang as soon as you open it. Your words appear exactly as you type them, so you decide the capital letters. It suits anyone who loves a traditional tree full of old-fashioned decorations. It's a thoughtful pick for a couple's first Christmas together, or for a family who want a keepsake that sits among the old favourites year after year.
Best for: Traditional tree lovers.
Personalised Sleepy Christmas Bear Bauble (£9.99)
A playful pick for you, this ceramic bauble has a sleeping bear design that looks cosy on any tree. It measures 6 x 6 x 6 cm, so it's a lovely size for a friend's tree or a child's bedroom. You can personalise the front with a name and a short message, and the reverse with a message across four lines. Your words appear as you type them. The ribbon is supplied for hanging, though the ribbon colour and the topper style may vary. Because it's made just for them, please check the spelling before you order. A ceramic bauble with a sleeping bear and your own words on both sides is a gift that stays on the tree and gets noticed.
Best for: Bear lovers and friends.

How does personalising work?
- Type your words on the gift's page: a name, a date or a short message. Each box shows its character limit as you type, and a tag above the boxes shows your exact words before you add the gift to your basket.
- A UK maker personalises it to order, printing or engraving exactly what you typed. Please check spelling, capitals and dates: we print the words as they are.
- It's sent by tracked delivery, to you or straight to them.
We can't print accents, emoji or most symbols, so the boxes accept letters, numbers and simple punctuation. If a personalised gift arrives damaged, faulty or not as you typed it, we remake it or refund it in full (returns).
When should I order for Christmas?
Most personalised gifts take 1 to 5 working days to make (a few take 7 to 10; each product page shows its own time), then 1 to 2 working days by Royal Mail Tracked 24, so order early for Christmas. Every product page shows when to expect your gift before you pay.
Personalised gifts travel as their own tracked parcel, for £7.95, and over £60 of gifts we pay the first £6 of delivery. To send a gift straight to them, give their address at checkout and add a free e-card with your message. Our delivery page has every making time and price in one place.
