Best personalised Christmas gifts to buy for your kids this year

1. My 1st Years Personalised Octopus Plush Toy, £27, £24.30 (plus £5 for personalisation)

— Best personalised gift for baby's first Christmas

Age: from birth | Batteries needed?: No | Size: 40cm x 45cm x 40cm | Awards: Bronze — Best Soft Toy, MadeForMums Toy Awards 2024

Looking for a perfect personalised gift for a baby's first Christmas? This gorgeous octopus plush is a really great option. It's made from a super soft green boucle material and has eight elasticated tentacles with a star-patterned fleece underneath. It also has a bell in its head and a squeaker in the attached star.

For an extra £5, you can personalise one of the tentacles with a name (up to 7 characters).

My baby loves playing with the tentacles as they are soft and filled with padding so provide a good texture for him to feel. The bell and squeaker are not too loud and give a lovely soft sound which captures his attention and helps him to look at the toy and follow it with his eyes. He smiles at the toy and makes noises, showing he is really enjoying playing with it!

2. Build Your Own Personalised Christmas Eve Box, £17.99

— Best personalised gift for Christmas Eve

Age: 4+ years | Batteries needed?: No | Size: Package dimensions: W26cm x H19.5cm x D6cm | Awards: Editor's Choice — Best Gift Box, MadeForMums Toy Awards 2024

Christmas Eve Boxes are becoming increasingly popular and if you don't have time to put one together yourself, this Build Your Own kit is a fantastic option for building excitement for the big day — and it can be personalised too! It's full of festive activities, including an activity booklet, penguin bowling game, reindeer mask and more. It's made from 100% sustainable cardboard and paper so is a great sustainable option too.

We enjoyed the activities together particularly the building of the 3D shapes. Great to have something that appeals to lots of children in different ways! The activity book is a brilliant bonus. I also like the idea of customising it with a few other little bits to make it a complete Christmas Eve box if that is a tradition in your family.
