Which personalised keepsakes suit a milestone birthday best?

A personalised keepsake with their age and name suits a milestone birthday best. These four gifts share that idea: photo albums to fill with memories, a pocket fob watch and a glass token, each made to order with the wording you choose.

What fun personalised gifts work for a big birthday?

Fun personalised gifts with the age and name work well for a big birthday. These picks, a plush bear, a travel mug and a compact mirror, each carry a name along with an age or year, so the gift says exactly who it's for.

Personalised Me to You Bear Birthday Big Age (£28.49)

Bright, cheerful and easy to love, this Me to You bear wears a T-shirt that carries an age and a name. You can add an age of up to 2 characters and a name of up to 12. The plush bear measures 15 x 19 x 15 cm, and all the text prints in fixed uppercase, so the wording always reads clearly. It's a playful way to mark a big birthday, especially for someone who still loves a cuddly friend.

Best for: Fans of cuddly birthday bears.

Personalised Dad of The Year Travel Mug (£13.99)

A great gift idea for them, especially a dad who likes a drink on the move. This travel mug holds 400 ml and has a sliding sip cover and a secure lid, with an insulated plastic inner. You can add a name of up to 15 characters and a year of up to 4 digits, so it reads as made just for them. It's easy to care for: wipe it clean only, and keep it upright.

Best for: Dads turning a milestone age.

Personalised Big Age Birthday Compact Mirror (£13.99)

Something they'll show off, this compact mirror reads 'Fabulous at' followed by an age and a name. You can add an age of up to 2 characters and a name of up to 12, and the 'Fabulous at' words stay fixed. The mirror is nickel plated and measures 5.7 x 5.7 x 0.7 cm, so it's compact. Text appears as you enter it, so skip block capitals and check the spelling before you order.

Best for: Friends celebrating a big birthday.

How does personalising work?

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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).

How does delivery work?

Every gift travels by tracked UK delivery, to your door or straight to theirs. Personalised gifts are made to order and travel as their own parcel, for £7.95, and over £60 of gifts we pay the first £6 of delivery. Each product page shows how long its gift takes to make and when to expect it, before you pay. See delivery for the details.
