Consider this a gift guide for when you want to get personal.
Zingerman’s Personalized Snack Box
We’ve all got a snack lover in our life, someone who always has a little bowl of salted cashews or a plate of chocolate on hand to nibble on whenever hunger strikes. And we love them for that. Treat them with a custom snack box from Zingerman’s. You can choose up to 10 items per box, including salty and sweet favorites like creamy gouda and salty potato chips or spiced pecans and a blondie.
Personalized Mug
This one speaks for itself. Whether you’ve got a coffee, tea, or hot cocoa lover in your life, this is the perfect unexpected customized gift for them. You can pick the name and year to put on the mug, then personalize the character on the mug by selecting their clothes, hair, and accessories.
Personalized Nutella Jar
If you have a friend that loves Nutella, this personalized Nutella jar is perfect for them. Customize the iconic Nutella logo to say their name, and watch them enjoy that hazelnut goodness.
Edible Custom Drink Topper
Get your friend’s face on a customizable drink topper from this Etsy shop. It’ll definitely make them laugh, and you can add it to a delicious cocktail!
Personalized Mixed Nuts Snack Box
This personalized wooden box featuring a variety of mixed nuts from Amazon is perfect for that health nut in your life. The box can be customized with their initial, and you can choose their favorite nuts to include, like almonds and peanuts.
Coca Cola Personalized Bottle
Everyone dreams of finding their name on a Coca Cola bottle, and with Coca Cola’s personalized bottles, it can become a reality. You can put your friend’s name on the bottle, or even a message. You can choose from regular Coca Cola, zero sugar, or Diet Coke, as well as a theme.
Fairytale Brownies Personalized Photo Gift Box
This personalized brownie photo gift box is perfect for that person with a sweet tooth in your life. Customize the box with your own photo, which comes with a variety of brownie flavors, like chocolate chip and cinnamon cocoa.
Harry & David’s Gift Box with Personalized Slate and Wood Board
This gift box from Harry & David includes its most popular sweet and savory snacks, like caramel popcorn and hickory-smoked sausage. It comes with a customizable wood and slate paddle cutting board, so you can arrange these delicious snacks into your own charcuterie board. You can customize the paddle to have the name of the person you’re gifting it to, or you can write a sweet message for them.
Spoonful of Comfort Build Your Own Pie Package
Nothing says comfort like a freshly baked pie. Spoonful of Comfort’s Build Your Own Pie Package allows you to choose from a variety of pie flavors. It comes with a pie server, and you can add in some extra goodies, like a throw blanket or a candle. Plus, it comes with a notecard with a personalized message from you.
Custom Oreos
On Oreo’s website, OreoiD, you can go through the process of decorating your own personal cookie. It starts with picking your filling — either white, orange, or birthday cake — and then picking a coating, either white or dark chocolate. Then, you choose the sprinkles you want around the outside edge. From there, you can add text, a design, or even upload your own image to be on the Oreo cookie. You can pick from just getting one cookie in a package (although you have to order 20 of them), to getting a 24 count, which costs $100.
Blendbee Custom Tea Blend
We all know that mixing and matching like a scientist is fun. I’m sure a lot of you have brewed different types of tea together at the same time to make some sort of franken-tea. With Blendbee, you can create your own custom loose tea to put together a blend even the biggest tea lover hasn’t tried. You can choose between caffeinated or decaffeinated and from a variety of tea bases along with add-ins like spices, florals, and all sorts of other ingredients to make your custom tea shine. Most of the ingredients on their list are organic too.
Custom M&Ms
Similarly to the Oreo creation process, there is a way to get custom M&Ms on the M&M’s Configurator. You can pick up to three colors and then choose the designs and text to go on the little candy treats. There are many packaging options to pick from to put your custom candies in of all different sizes and occasions. I know I would definitely want to receive the Me and You Gift Jar. It’s cute, okay?
I Want Candy Personalized Lollipops
It’s like Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory on the I Want Candy website, where you can make your own personalized lollipops. You can choose the style, design, and flavor of your lollipops. There’s even an option to make an Instalolli, where you can connect your Instagram and get nine flat, square lollipops with nine different Insta pics on them.
Delight Patisserie Custom Shortbread Cookies
We delve back into the realm of cookies with customizable shortbread from Delight Patisserie. These are cute little rectangular shortbread cookies with scalloped edges and a personalized message baked into each one. While you can only get one message per box, these cookies can have 12 characters on each line of text, and there are three lines available. That’s a lot of real estate for putting whatever you want on there. You can also get a red heart on each of your cookies, which is adorable. It’s $34.90 per box, and you get 16 cookies.
See’s Candies Custom Chocolate Box
The perfect gift is a customized box of chocolates (provided you know what the other person likes). With See’s Candies, you can choose from a wide variety of different chocolate confections to surprise someone with. You can either pick a white rectangular box or a red heart-shaped box, and then get started picking your sweets. If I had to make a choice, I always go with chocolates with coconut or caramel. You can also decide the ratio of chocolates, like if you’d like more coconut chocolates than caramel ones.
Spoonful Of Comfort Custom Soup Package
If you’ve got a soup lover, get them their own custom soup package from Spoonful of Comfort. You can choose up to two flavors, and you also get half a dozen rolls to go with your soups. There are also cookies with five different flavors to choose from. What makes this package even more enticing is that you get to add other things for an additional cost, like a fluffy robe, skin care products, or toppers for the soup like chips or croutons. Definitely a care package I’d love to receive when I’m sick (which is pretty much all the time).
