What makes a good personalised Christmas gift?
A good personalised Christmas gift combines something useful with a detail that matters to the recipient, such as their name, relationship, family or a shared milestone. Personalisation works best when it adds meaning to an item the person is likely to use rather than existing purely for decoration.
