Photo baubles, photo ornaments and message decorations make lovely family keepsakes at Christmas. Each one puts a face, a name or a first Christmas on your tree. Pick the kind that suits the person you're thinking of.

Personalised Photo Bauble, Ceramic (£14.99)

Nice to unwrap, and nicer to hang. This round white ceramic bauble measures 7.5 cm across and has a natural gloss finish. Your photo is printed on one side, and the round shape shows the middle of the picture, so choose one with the people in the centre. It hangs on an adjustable gold string, and it's a thoughtful pick for grandparents.

Best for: Grandparents wanting family photos.

Personalised Photo Christmas Tree Decoration (£12.99)

Light enough to post, and simple to hang. This ornament is lightweight aluminium with a matte finish and a shaped edge, cut around the subject of your picture. Pick a square 8 x 8 cm or a rectangle 10 x 8 cm. The print is fade-resistant, and an adjustable red ribbon makes it easy to hang on the tree.

Best for: Families with a favourite photo.

Personalised Red Christmas Ceramic Heart (£8.49)

Ideal as a Secret Santa gift, with room for three lines of message. This red ceramic heart measures 7.7 x 7 x 0.3 cm, and its middle line is set in a script font, while the lines either side print in fixed capitals. A ribbon comes included, though its colour may vary. We can't print accents, emoji or most symbols, so keep to plain letters and numbers.

Best for: Friends and Secret Santa.

Personalised Tiny Tatty Teddy Snow Globe (£11.99)

A clever pick when you're stuck for a baby's first Christmas gift. This acrylic Tiny Tatty Teddy decoration measures 6.3 x 8 x 0.3 cm and comes with a white ribbon. 'My first Christmas' is already printed on it, so you add only the name and the year, and the name prints in fixed capitals. Remove the clear protective film before use, and check the name's spelling before you order.

Best for: New parents, first Christmas.

Personalised 1st Christmas Reindeer Decoration (£11.99)

Great for a new family's first Christmas. This rustic wooden reindeer measures 14.7 x 22 x 2.4 cm, and the fixed line 'My 1st Christmas' is already printed on it. You add two lines: a name on line one and a year on line two. We can't print accents, emoji or most symbols, so use plain letters and numbers. Line one appears exactly as you type it.

Best for: A new family's first Christmas.

Five personalised candles and lanterns create a cosy Christmas glow, each with a message you type. Pick a flickering lantern, a gold LED candle or a glass tea light holder, and every glow carries your words, made to order for the person you have in mind.

Amber Glass Candle, Personalised Christmas Tree (£9.49)

Editorially selected for Christmas, this amber glass candle comes in a vanilla scent and burns for 30 hours. You get five lines of your own text on the jar, and the first line prints in fixed capitals. It stands 8 cm tall and is made with your words, so check the spelling before you order. Once the candle has burned down, the jar becomes a tealight holder.

Best for: Hosts and neighbours at Christmas.

Festive Village LED Candle, Personalised Gold (£13.99)

A cosy treat for winter evenings, this gold Christmas candle is an LED with a flame effect. It is coated in real wax and comes in an organza bag. Your five message lines print exactly as you type them, so capital letters stay where you put them. It is 7.5 x 13 x 7.5 cm and takes 3 AAA batteries, not included. Switch it on and the flame effect does the rest.

Best for: Family and friends this Christmas.

Personalised Christmas Glass Tea Light Holder (£13.99)

Great if you're buying for a crowd, this mirrored glass tea light holder gives you four lines of your own text. Lines one and three print in fixed upper case, while lines two and four appear as you type them. It measures 10 x 10 x 6.1 cm, and the tea light is not included, so add your own. Check the spelling before you order, since it is made for the person you choose. Its mirrored glass gives it a reflective finish.

Best for: Hosts and big family gatherings.

Personalised Christmas Deer Tea Light Holder (£13.99)

A good-humoured gift, this personalised Christmas deer tea light holder is made of mirrored glass and measures 10 x 10 x 6.1 cm. You get two lines for your own message and they print exactly as you type them. Avoid all capitals, as the font makes them hard to read and they may be missed off. The tea light is not included, so add your own. A friend or neighbour will enjoy a festive deer with their own words on it.

Best for: A playful gift for friends.

Personalised Christmas Lantern, Frost White (£15.99)

Hand-picked for them, this frost white lantern has a flickering warm orange flame effect and two lines of your own text. It is 10.3 x 27 x 10.3 cm, with a matt plastic finish and a hoop already attached. Your text prints in fixed upper case, so check the spelling before you order. It takes 3 AAA batteries, not included, and is for indoor use only. Switch it on at the base for a warm, flickering glow.

Best for: Families and Christmas lovers.

Personalised LED houses, a wooden Fair Isle house and hanging slate signs all suit a festive Christmas display. What ties them together is that each one carries a name or short message you choose, so every piece is personalised for the person you have in mind.

Personalised LED House, Believe in Christmas (£15.99)

If they love Christmas, this is the one. It's a ceramic LED house with cut-out windows that lights up at the flick of the on/off switch at its base. Add a name or short message above the word 'believes', using plain letters and numbers, as we can't print accents or emoji. Batteries are included, so it's ready to light when you open it. It's a sweet pick for a grandparent who loves the season.

Best for: Christmas lovers and grandparents.

Personalised Ceramic LED House Christmas Foliage (£15.99)

Practical and pretty, this ceramic LED house suits a mantelpiece or Christmas display. It has four message lines, so you can add more of your own words than on a single-line piece. Batteries are included, and the on/off switch is at the base. Each house is hand finished and may show some imperfections. Check the spelling before you order, as the message prints as entered.

Best for: Mantelpiece displays for families.

Personalised Fair Isle Wooden House Ornament (£11.99)

A gift that says you listened: this wooden house has a neutral grey Fair Isle design and stands free, 17.5 cm tall. Its two message lines can carry a name and a few words, printed just as you type them. Use plain letters and numbers, as we can't print accents or emoji. It's a warm pick for a housewarming, and the Fair Isle pattern gives it a cosy, personal look.

Best for: New homeowners and housewarmings.

Personalised Christmas Countdown Slate Sign (£13.99)

A playful pick for them: this slate sign reads 'Sleeps 'til Christmas' with a name of your choice, printed in capitals. The chalk is in the box, so you can write on it straight away. Each slate is cut by hand, so every one is a little different. When you want a fresh start, wipe away the chalk with a dry, soft cloth.

Best for: Families counting down together.

Personalised Slate Plaque, Christmas Hanging (£9.49)

Editorially selected for new homes and couples, this hanging slate plaque reads 'Christmas at' and adds one line of your choice, such as a name or short message. It's made just for them, so check the spelling before you order. Each one is cut by hand, so it's unique, and it may show natural faults like flaking and uneven corners.

Best for: New homes and newlyweds.

Fun personalised Christmas decorations are the ones with a character on them: a wooden reindeer, a snowman night light or a traditional gonk tea light box. Each can carry a name or a message, so it feels chosen for the person receiving it or for your own tree.

Personalised Rustic Wooden Reindeer Decoration (£11.99)

Sweet, simple and personal: this wooden reindeer is a warm way to say you thought of them. It has a rustic, shabby chic look, and you can add a name, which prints exactly as you type it. Text prints as entered, so please avoid block capitals and stick to plain letters and numbers. It suits families, friends, godchildren and new homes, and it's a cosy addition to any tree.

Best for: Families and new homes.

Personalised Snowman and Snowdog LED Candle (£13.99)

If they love snowmen, this is the one: a night light candle featuring the Snowman and Snowdog, with a flame effect and a real wax coating. You can add a name and a message line, so it feels made for the child or grandchild who receives it. Check the spelling before you order, as it's made with your words. It needs 3 AAA batteries, which are not included, and comes in an organza bag.

Best for: Snowman fans and little ones.

Personalised Gonk Triple Tea Light Box (£15.99)

Something they'll show off: this traditional gonk tea light box is made from wood, with a hand-finished lid that holds three tea lights. The tea lights aren't included, so add your own. You can add four lines of message, so it can say something cheerful for a friend, a family member or a host. Some lines print in fixed capitals, so check the spelling before you order, as it's made just for them.

Best for: Gonk fans and hosts.
