Stockings and sacks
Many of the personalised Christmas stockings are velvet, in red or silver grey, with a soft plush white cuff and a hoop for hanging. Designs run from Santa, reindeer and polar bears to The Snowman and Tiny Tatty Teddy, and most take a name of up to 12 characters. For bigger presents there are larger Christmas sacks, including a unicorn design.
Christmas Eve boxes
A Christmas Eve box is opened the night before, usually with a few small things to settle into the evening. The personalised Christmas Eve boxes are made from natural wood with a metal clasp and hinges, so most show their own grain and knots, and they are sized for small gifts like books, pencils, chocolate and sweets. There are also personalised mince pie plates and a mince pie board for the treats left out for Santa and Rudolph.
Baubles for a first Christmas
The My 1st Christmas baubles carry a name, and many add the year on the front and up to four lines of message on the reverse, so they record the year a baby arrived as much as they decorate the tree. Designs include Tiny Tatty Teddy, The Snowman, Me To You and gold stars in blue or pink, and most come with a ribbon ready to hang.
Getting the personalisation right
Each product page lists its own character limits and any fixed wording, such as '1st Christmas' on the front of several baubles. Many designs print text exactly as it is entered, so avoid typing a name in block capitals unless the page says the text appears in capitals anyway. As one customer said of a personalised cutlery set, 'The process was simple from start to finish' (customer review).
