Looking for a personalised cushion? Here are two cosy photo cushions that make a warm, thoughtful gift. Each carries a photo you choose, printed onto soft faux suede. One is square and comes in three sizes; the other is cut into a heart.

Personalised Photo Cushion in Soft Faux Suede (from £17.99)

A gift with a story: your own photo, printed edge to edge on soft faux suede. Choose a clear picture of the grandchildren, a family pet or a favourite day out, and the cushion becomes a daily reminder of that moment. It has a stone-coloured back with a zip, and you can pick from three square sizes. Grandparents, mums and couples can keep their own memory close, and it says you thought about them.

Best for: Grandparents and proud pet owners.

Personalised Heart Photo Cushion (£19.99)

A playful pick for couples: a 28 cm cushion cut into the shape of a heart. Your photo is printed to the edges and cut to the heart around its subject, so a close picture of two people or a pet looks charming. The soft faux suede feels lovely to lean on, with a stone-coloured back and a zip. Because it is printed to order, check you have the right photo before you buy.

Best for: Couples and proud mums.

Personalised cushions make a cosy gift when you want a favourite photo on show at home. Both gifts here are soft faux suede cushions, printed with your photos and made to order. One is round; the other is large and double-sided, so it suits a couple or family.

Personalised Round Photo Cushion (£27.99)

Sweet, simple and personal, this 46 cm round cushion is faux suede with your photo printed right to the edges. The back is stone-coloured with a zip, and it's fibre filled, so it sits plump and soft. Because the round shape shows the middle of your photo, pick a clear shot. It suits a pet lover, grandparents or a close friend who'd love a favourite picture on the sofa.

Best for: Pet lovers and grandparents.

Personalised Double-Sided Photo Cushion (£39.99)

A gift with a story: this large 55 x 55 cm cushion has a photo printed on each side, so two memories can share one cosy spot. Both sides are soft faux suede, zipped and fibre filled. Each photo is cut square around its subject, and if you add just one photo, it prints on both sides. It's a warm pick for couples, families or someone starting a new home.

Best for: Couples, families and new homeowners.

Personalised photo blankets and cushions with a name or short message suit a family home best. Each one carries something personal, from a family photo to a name, so the gift feels made for the people who live there.

Personalised Photo Blanket, Soft Fleece (from £49.99)

Made to be noticed, this soft fleece throw carries one of your photos across the front. The 285gsm plush fleece has a stitched edge and a white, baby pink or baby blue back. It comes in 98 x 63 cm or 146 x 96 cm, and it is machine washable at 30°C. It is a warm, personal pick for mum, grandparents or a couple who want their favourite photo close.

Best for: Mums, grandparents and couples.

Personalised Paw Print Fleece Blanket for Dogs (£19.95)

Ideal for anyone who loves their dog, this fleece blanket puts your dog's name on a paw print design. It is a sweet pick for dog owners, new puppy families and dog lovers. Please avoid all capitals in the name and check the spelling before you order. Made just for them, it measures 90 x 70 x 0.1 cm and gives a dog a cosy spot of their own.

Best for: Dog owners and new puppies.

Personalised Cushion, Cute Pink Bow (£19.95)

An easy win for birthdays, this cushion has a cute pink bow design and a name line in a script font, shown just as you enter it. The 40 x 40 cm polyester cover comes with the cushion included. Use plain letters and numbers, as we can't print accents, emoji or most symbols. It is a bright, fun pick for bow lovers, friends and housewarmings, and the cover is machine washable up to 40 degrees.

Best for: Birthdays and housewarmings.

Reserved For Cushion, Deep Teal, Personalised (£19.95)

Something a little different, this deep teal cushion carries the fixed words Reserved For, with a name added after them. The 40 x 40 cm polyester cover comes with the cushion included. Text appears as entered, so please check the capitals and spelling before you order. It is a witty pick for dads, grandads, grans and film fans, and the cover is machine washable up to 40 degrees, then line dried.

Best for: Dads, grans and film fans.

Personalised Cotton Cushion, Fleur Line Art (£19.95)

A stylish upgrade to an everyday thing, this Fleur cushion has a modern, minimalist line art design on a cotton cover. You can add a short quote or message, printed in a script font that can be hard to read in capitals, so avoid fixed uppercase. The filled cushion is included, so it is ready to use. It suits new homeowners, friends and anyone who loves a quote, and it is machine washable up to 40 degrees, line dried.

Best for: New homes and quote lovers.

Personalised Cushion, Leopard Print Polyester (£19.95)

A fun way to say thank you, this leopard print cushion has two lines of text on a 40 x 40 cm polyester cover.

Personalised cushions with a wreath or gonk design suit cosy autumn and Christmas evenings best. Each one is made to order with your own message, so it feels chosen for one particular person.

Personalised Christmas Gonk Cushion, Polyester (£19.95)

Something they'll show off this Christmas: a gonk cushion with a festive twist. You add up to three lines of text, and the first line prints as you type it while the next two appear in capitals.

Personalised Christmas Wreath Cushion, Green (£19.95)

A pretty piece for the home, with a green wreath design for Christmas. The cushion is included, and you can add six lines of text. Every line prints in fixed capitals, so the lettering looks even.

Best for: Hosts and grandparents at Christmas.

Personalised Cushion, Autumn Wreath 40 x 40 cm (£19.95)

Sweet, simple and personal, this autumn cushion is 40 x 40 cm and comes with its insert, ready to use straight away.

Personalised Cushion, Autumn Gonk Polyester (£19.95)

Best for: Secret Santa and gonk lovers.

A personalised cushion makes a heartfelt gift for a partner when it marks a moment you share, such as an anniversary or a new home. Each of these four picks is made to order with the words you choose, in a design that suits the occasion.

You add two personalised lines, printed in capitals, and the message is yours to write. It is made from 100% polyester and the cushion is included.
