The gift ideas we give out become predictable, sometimes expected, especially with the surge of holiday parties about to come our way. The always-present wall clock, the anticipated picture frame, and the “favorite” hand towels are all expected to appear. Luckily for you, however, you can raise your gift-giving game by giving out personalized gift items explicitly made for the people you’re giving them to.

And since all of the following stores can be found in malls (a.k.a. the place where most of us spend our free time), you’ll have fewer excuses to not become a gift-giving pro with these personalized gifts.

A wallet is a definite go-to gift item because it is durable and used daily—because who doesn’t need a wallet? But you can make this personalized gift item in Photo Fusion; it enables givers to jazz up a boring wallet by printing a quote, an Instagram photo, or even a portrait of the receiver onto it.

This personalized gift store offers the wallet two sizes: a small coin pouch for everyday use or a more oversized purse for other occasions.


4. Personalized Shirt by The Tshirt Project

One of the best-personalized gift items is customized photo albums. Photos can now be shown on another platform with a personalized memory board by P.S. Crafts, a great gift idea where whichever picture you want is transferred on a wooden tile.

October 2022 Update: P.S. Crafts with Soul is permanently closed.



A gift’s value isn’t measured by how much it costs, where it was bought, or how “in” it is. As long as the gift has heart and meaning, just like these personalized gifts, you’ve succeeded in your gift-giving duties.
