The article recommends personalised gifts as a way to show that you understand the recipient’s tastes and personality. It argues that custom details such as engraving or monogramming can make a present feel more thoughtful, and offers ideas for holiday shopping.

Its examples include custom Shutterfly notecards, a plush Pottery Barn Kids blanket with a child’s name, and a personalised Nalgene bottle. It also describes Cameo videos, where a chosen performer records a bespoke message based on details supplied by the giver; the article says recipients have up to seven days to receive one.
