What's a good personalized Christmas gift?
A personalized Christmas ornament is the most popular choice. It costs around $19, can be engraved with a name or year, and comes out every December. For couples and new parents, an "Our First Christmas" or baby's first ornament marks the milestone. For hosts and families, an engraved holiday wood board, such as a Santa or Christmas tree board, is a keepsake that also gets used at holiday meals.
