Personalised gifts – why it is worth shopping custom this Christmas

Do you remember the feeling of someone making and giving you a mix tape as a gift? (Children of the 80s – we’re talking to you 😜) Or perhaps a photo book of travels, or photo of a treasured memory in a frame? The feeling of knowing that someone has taken time to think about you, and what kind of gift might make your heart sing, is priceless.

Here at Namely, we are all about that magical feeling you get from giving (and receiving!) a custom-made gift. Here is a round up of some gorgeous, thoughtful gifts from the Namely range.

• We adore these personalised playmats, especially from our new May Gibbs x Namely They’re perfect to take away on holidays, to a family picnic, or to pop in the pram for an impromptu park and iced latte dates. Featuring beautiful quilting and contrast durable canvas backing, with a gorgeous soft feel, these make a great gift and will grow with baby for years – perhaps doubling as a Lego or Duplo playmat down the track.

• Does anything replace the magical feeling of waking up to a Santa sack or stocking full of presents? It’s an undeniable part of the joy of Christmas. A personalised Santa sack will be a beautiful part of family Christmas morning traditions for years. Our traditional knitted Santa Sacks are made from 100% organic cotton and adorned with multi-coloured pom poms. They’re a bit cute, if we do say so ourselves!

• Is there a little person in your life about to make the transition from cot to bed? Or toddler bed to big kid bed? Our gorgeous, personalised pillowcases, made from 100% organic cotton, will help little people feel connected to their new bed, and a sense of grown-up ownership. And they’re super cute to boot! We can’t get enough of this May Gibbs x Namely Bush pillowcase in dusty sage.

• Still stuck? We all have those people in our lives that are just too tricky to buy for – a Namely gift voucherwill show you still know they love local, quality bespoke items – but they can choose the details themselves!

We are still taking orders for Christmas gifts and ordering now will help ensure you receive your haul before Christmas. Like many small local Australian business that make gifts to order, it’s worth getting your orders in as early as possible to beat the rush. And really, anything that helps save us from battling the crowds the week before Christmas is a win in our eyes!
