Holiday Gift Ideas: Personalized Holiday Gifts

It’s that time again … time for holiday gift ideas! Every Friday until Christmas, I’ll have a new gift guide up. Personalized holiday gifts are always the subject of my first gift guide of the year. In a normal year, it can take longer for them to arrive, but that’s especially true this year. Supply chain issues are REAL, so order ASAP! Especially because Hanukkah starts the Sunday after Thanksgiving, so if you’re shopping for Hanukkah and haven’t started, you’re running late.

To help you with your shopping, be sure to check out past editions of personalized or custom gifts: 2020, 2019, 2017, 2016, and 2015.

Personalized Holiday Gifts: Customized Stamps

There are so many reasons for stamps, and they’re so fun! Here are some great ones.

Self-Inking Custom Address Stamp ($25.99) – It comes in 5 colors, and you can use these for adding return addresses to letters or packages. It could be for someone who has their own business, who is getting married and has a ton of pieces of mail to send, or maybe for a person/family who just moved. Lots of uses!

Custom Library Stamp ($20.50+) – This is a perfect gift for a bookworm! Adults and kids will get a kick out of this. I would also suggest this for your teacher friend who has a classroom library. 

Floral Book library embosser custom ($20+) – Okay, so this isn’t a stamp, but it’s similar. There are a LOT of patterns to choose from; they’re listed as A-A22 (A-Z plus 22) so you can give a really sweet gift this holiday season. 

Custom Library Stamp ($20+) – You can get a self-inking version that comes in 8 colors or a regular stamp without ink. This is the perfect gift for the teacher in your life!

Teacher Grade Stamp with Pouch ($13.82) – This is AMAZING! There are 8 grading options, 12 decorating options, and 62 font options, so you can make an amazingly personalized gift for the teacher in your life.

Personalized Classroom Teacher Stamp ($19.25+) – This is similar to the last one, but it’s a bit different. There are 12 stamp options. Some options are grades, some are for a classroom library, some are feedback, some are other things entirely. There are self-inking options and hand-stamp options. 

Custom Logo Stamp ($7.99+) – Give this to the person in your life with a small business!

Personalized Holiday Gifts: Decor

Personalised Photo Print Plaque With Custom Message ($9.83+) – Get that Polaroid feel with a digital photo!

Last Name Established Sign ($45+) – Perfect for people who recently got married. There are 5 color options and 5 size options.

Personalized Name Plate for Desk ($39.99) – This is so pretty. Give it to someone who has a desk at an office, whether it be a doctor or a teacher or some other profession. It’s great for people who recently started their job or recently received a qualification!

Custom neon sign ($161+) – Yeah, it’s a little pricey, but it’s so pretty.

Custom Star Map Print ($11+) – There are 9 design options. You can give it to your significant other, a family member or friend who recently got engaged or married, or some other special day. 

Wooden Map of Any City in the World ($149+) – Is someone in your life moving away from a favorite place? Help them take that place with them with this map. There are 11 size options and 6 color options.

Personalized Engaged Ornament ($30) – Pretty self-explanatory! 

Shutterfly Personalized Pillow ($20+) – Do you know someone obsessed with their pet? Put the pet on a pillow! Put a family pic on a pillow! Put! Everything! On! A! Pillow!

Personalized Holiday Gifts: Jewelry

Birthstone ring ($52+) – Whether it be for your mom or a mom who recently had a child, any mom would love this birthstone ring. 

Personalized Gift For Women ($25+) – This is a beautiful gift that can mean so much. Give it to a mom, to someone who wants to carry someone with them, or someone else entirely.

Hand Stamped Bracelet ($9+) – Does someone have a quote that carries them through? Put it on a bracelet. Does someone have a saying that they want to keep with them? Put it on a bracelet. 

Personalised Wish Bracelet ($7.03) – I think this is the perfect gift for when you have a bunch of cousins or nieces/nephews/niblings and want to give something meaningful.

Personalized Holiday Gifts: Miscellaneous

Personalised Jigsaw Puzzle ($14+) – Take a picture you love and turn it into a puzzle.

Personalized Leather Keychain ($15.50+) – There are 6 leather options and 6 metal options. This is a gift that’s easy to give and really memorable.

Shutterfly photobook – Are you shopping for someone who isn’t on Facebook or Instagram, or isn’t on them a lot? Put together a photo album for them with Shutterfly! This is perfect for parents or grandparents. I’ve made my mom so many of these over the years, and they’re always meaningful.

FAQ: Have you tried [insert supplement here]? As FAQ: Have you tried [insert supplement here]?

As with all things, what’s true for me might not be true for others. I’m sure there are plenty of RA patients who do respond well to supplements; I’m just not one of them. 

Additionally, at one point, I refer to being on chemo since 2012. As always, the chemo I’m referring to is Rituxan, which is my RA treatment. I do not have cancer nor have I ever claimed to. 

Video: Kate talks to the camera. Text at the beginning reads “FAQ: Have you tried [insert supplement here]?” and other text later reads “*24” to correct when she says “symptoms for 21 years”. There are captions.

Week 19 of #2026Weekly I’m not going to lie - my Week 19 of #2026Weekly 

I’m not going to lie - my life now focuses even more on maintaining my body. Trying to avoid foot surgery + keep my bone density up so I don’t break another bone for a while on top of all the other things I do to manage my 10+ illnesses … it’s a lot of work. I did go to actual work this week lol but my camera roll is all chronic illness stuff this week. 

1️⃣ The machine that will hopefully prevent surgery!!! Every day, I do 40 minutes of this ultrasound machine (20 min on 1 fracture, 20 min on the other) and it will speed up healing 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 
2️⃣ Continuing my exercise routine per my endocrinologist. Up to 30 minutes of Pilates 4 days a week … and since I don’t do exercises requiring pressure on my feet, the cast comes off.
