How did we choose these gifts?
We hand-picked every gift in this guide from the range we stock. Each one was chosen for who it suits and what it does, so you can match the gift to the child or family you have in mind.
We also kept a mix of kinds and budgets, so you can compare a stocking, a sack and a box side by side. Each gift is made to order with the name or message you type, and comes with a free e-card.

What's the difference?
All three are personalised Christmas traditions, but each one works differently. The red stocking is 100% polyester, 28 x 47 x 3 cm, with a short message of several lines, shown exactly as typed. The reindeer sack is fleece, 100% polyester, 50 x 68 x 2 cm, with an elasticated opening and a name, made for treats from Santa.
The Christmas Eve box is hand painted natural wood, 22 x 16 x 11 cm, with a metal clasp and metal hinges. Its name line always appears in capitals, and a second line holds a short message you choose. It is the only wooden one.
Stocking, sack or box: the three compared
There's no wrong choice. A stocking suits a classic Christmas, a sack suits Santa's treats, and a box suits Christmas Eve. Each one can carry a name or short message, so it feels made for your child.
Personalised Christmas Red Stocking (£13.99)
Hand-picked for the family, this personalised Christmas red stocking is a simple way to begin. It's made from 100% polyester and measures 28 x 47 x 3 cm. You can add four lines of text, each up to 12 characters, and the words appear exactly as you enter them. Since each one is made just for them, check the spelling before you order. The stocking is sponge clean only. It's not a toy and isn't suitable for under 36 months without adult supervision. It's a good fit for children, partners, friends and families who want a bright red stocking with their own words on it. Hang it up early so it's ready for the big morning.

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.
