Personalized Statement Gifts for Christmas

This post is sponsored by Shutterfly.

You know what I think is really neat? How when you’re a kid, Christmas gifts are more so about the receiving – but as an adult, it’s more about the giving. Don’t get me wrong, I still love getting gifts, but it’s been neat to see that progression in my life where I find true joy in seeing people open gifts I’ve given them.

But there are millions (billions?) of different products I could buy for Christmas gifts, which can be overwhelming! SO one of my favorite things to do is to buy customized, personalized products for my friends and family. An amazing company to do this through is Shutterfly. Avoid the crazy Black Friday crowds today, and by gifts online through them!

Ya’ll already know my obsession with Shutterfly, and you have probably already seen their amazing photo products such as photo blankets, mugs, and computer mouse pads. But what I didn’t realize until this year is how many other personalized products they sell! I love customized photo gifts, but there should probably be a limit to how many photos of me and Hudson I put around our house (actually that’s not true…I love having photos of us everywhere, ha!) so it was so exciting for me to find other custom products I can buy for people that double as amazing home decor!!

I spent hours on the Shutterfly website and there were SO many gifts I loved, but here are some of my favorites!

Customized Pillows

I have way too many throw pillows and could still find a million other reasons to buy more :) I ordered this personalized pillow for Hud (aka myself) for our RV! I added “travel the country” and kept all of the other words as-is because I thought they encompassed so well certain elements of the life I want to live. Yay for motivation as home decor!

I alsoooo ordered this fully customized pillow to give to my sister-in-law for our newborn niece and OH MY GOODNESS this is my favorite gift of all time. I didn’t take a picture of it for privacy reasons, but it lists all of the details of her birth – name, location, date, time, weight, height, etc. – and is on a grey background which I’m hoping will fit her nursery perfectly! I created this pillow off the ____ product, which allows you to add any text you want – so it would be perfect as a baby or wedding gift, or for anyone really!

Cutting Boards and Cheese Boards

The cutting board is also one of my favorite Shutterfly products of all time. It’s super well built, and the way the text is engraved looks so professional! We are going to Hudson’s cousin’s wedding in a few weeks, and I thought this would make a perfect gift. Check out Shutterfly’s cutting boards and cheese boards for the perfect gift for any occasion!

Glass Plate

This personalized glass plate I ordered for my cousin, who recently got married. I love that it says her new last name and is a multi-use plate! I think it’d be perfect for displaying jewelry on, but it would also just make a great display piece.

Sherpa Blanket

Behind the glass plate is a Sherpa blanket from Shutterfly! This you can put your photo on, but I opted for the Drew Barrymore Ganado Fleece Photo Blanket to give to a friend with a new baby. It is SO comfortable and I can just imagine her swaddling her precious baby up in it!

Coasters

Something I found on Shutterfly’s site this year is that, for many of their products, you can either upload your own photos to a product or choose from their collection of stock photos. There are many stock photos with quotes – and I can never get enough of quotes – so I thought it’d be a neat idea to make coasters with some of my favorites.

Personalized Stationery

I also bought this personalized to-do list for Hud (ha!) because it just causes to-do list making to be a little more exciting :) I love that Shutterfly even thinks of things like this to personalize – from small things to big things, they offer it all!

Glass Ornaments

Growing up, my parents would buy an ornament for each of their kids every year, and I thought it was so neat that when I got married I had a whole box of ornaments for my very own Christmas tree! So I purchased one of Shutterfly’s glass ornaments as a gift for our newborn niece in honor of her very first Christmas. :)

Shutterfly offers so many other wonderful statement gifts in addition to these – I highly recommend browsing their site and considering personalized gifts this year!
