We’ve got nothing against tried-and-true customized gifts—cuff links, wine glasses, pet portraits, or a monogrammed phone case, to name a few—but the very best personalized gifts are unexpected.

But a pick from our list of the best personalized gifts that’s made just for them? That’s going above and beyond. Whether you’re shopping for wedding gifts, a next-level birthday gift, or Christmas gifts, you’ll find more than enough reasons to skip the gift cards this year.
Check out our favorite unique gifts for your loved ones below (and skip endless Amazon scrolling in the process).
