Personalised Christmas gifts for children

Getting Your Children's Christmas Gifts Ready with Amikado

Exclusive Amikado survey: 100% of Amikado team members’ children say winter is their favourite season. Summer can go take a hike!

But why do children prefer the cold season over others? For a very simple reason: winter means Christmas and all its magic – especially the Christmas presents that come with it. They look forward to this moment all year long, not to mention the final weeks before 24 December…

Such enthusiasm deserves a carefully prepared children's Christmas. Leaving things to the last minute and braving crowded shops on 24 December could dampen their excitement — and that would be a real shame. After all, Christmas is a holiday made for children…

That’s why Amikado is ready to help you create a celebration that lives up to children’s expectations, offering a wide range of Christmas gifts for children aged 3 to 12 (for ages 0 to 3, see our baby Christmas gift ideas; for ages 12 to 18, check out our Christmas gifts for teens). Explore our selection of Christmas presents for kids — from puzzles to engraved treasure chests and even personalised Christmas stockings. We’ve got loads of Christmas gift ideas for children that will touch their hearts… especially because they’re personalised with their name or photo!

Give a Personalised Game to Your Child for Christmas

Toys and games remain the go-to Christmas gift for 2025 for all children. A must-have, but that doesn’t mean you have to stick to the latest trends like Switch or PS5 games, remote-controlled cars, dolls, Playmobil, Lego or craft kits...

While it’s highly recommended to follow their Christmas wish list at least a little, Amikado offers personalised games that will delight your child — starting with our iconic personalised pétanque sets with motifs and their name. Their very own boules set! And in the same spirit, discover our latest addition: a Mölkky game set in a custom pouch, with fun little skittles. For those chilly winter evenings, go for a puzzle — but not just any puzzle, as you can have your favourite photo printed on it.

Why Give a Personalised Christmas Gift?

Some might say we’re biased, but here’s why, according to Amikado, giving a personalised Christmas gift to your loved ones is a brilliant idea!

Christmas is a magical celebration of warmth, sharing, and family. It’s a time that deserves thoughtful gifts filled with the affection you have for your recipient(s). And finding a gift that meets these criteria isn’t always easy...

But that’s where personalised gifts come in!

With personalised presents, you’ve got two options: either personalise a classic gift with your chosen text or photo, or go for an original gift that’s also personalised. In both cases, you’re guaranteed a wow effect — whether it’s a gift for a child, teen, man or woman.

The key when hunting for Christmas gifts is to think about the recipient’s interests. Your present should match their age and taste. That’s why we offer such a wide range on Amikado: with over 900 children’s gift ideas, you’re sure to find the perfect Christmas gift for your little one!

Our Top Christmas Gift Ideas for Children

To help you find the perfect gift idea for your child this Christmas, we’ve put together a short list below.

Christmas Gifts for Indoor Activities

Is your child full of energy, and you're constantly looking for new games or activities for them? Here are a few ideas for a Christmas gift they’ll love.

The personalised drawing set is perfect for children who love to draw and colour. The wooden box, filled with markers and drawing tools, will be engraved with your chosen text and a small motif (or not).

Another indoor activity children often enjoy is cooking or baking! For a little one who loves helping out in the kitchen with parents or grandparents, we recommend our embroidered children’s apron with their name. That way, your future little chef can dive in without worrying about their clothes! And to complete the look, add our personalised children’s chef hat.

Reading is another activity worth cultivating. It plays an important role in a child’s development by stimulating their brain and imagination. To get your little one into reading, check out our personalised storybooks for children aged 3 to 10. Your child becomes the main character in the story you choose.

And finally, a gift that’s always a hit with kids: the engraved treasure chest. A great accessory for make-believe pirate adventures — plus, it doubles as stylish room décor!

Our Gift Ideas for Outdoor Activities

Does your child love spending time outdoors looking for their next adventure? Discover all our Christmas gift ideas for children who love the outdoors.

Our bestseller for outdoor activities — whether for older or younger kids — is the engraved pétanque set. You can engrave the three boules with the recipient’s name and a fun little motif so they’ll easily spot theirs at the pétanque pitch. A unique Christmas gift sure to impress!

In the same spirit, check out the summer favourite, the Finnish skittles game! One of our latest additions, this wooden game can be personalised with charming designs and your own text. A brilliant gift for summer fun that still looks great under the tree, despite the long winter ahead.

To help your child carry their things from one activity to another, a personalised backpack makes a wonderful children’s Christmas gift. We have lovely options from brands like Stephen Joseph, L’Oiseau Bateau, and Tann’s, which can be embroidered with the child’s name. Guaranteed hit with the little ones!

The “My Sport” personalised children’s T-shirt also makes a fantastic gift for any young athlete! Choose their favourite sport and personalise it with their name to create a T-shirt as unique as they are — perfect for playtime!

Another children’s Christmas gift we recommend is the Alphabet Animal personalised thermos bottle. Personalise it with your child’s name and a matching animal that shares the same initial — to avoid mix-ups at school and to help reduce waste. A great way to teach kids about sustainability too!

All Our Christmas Gift Ideas for Decorating a Child’s Room

To move away from traditional toys and games as children’s Christmas gifts, we offer personalised decorative accessories! A unique Christmas gift that stands out — not just because it’s personalised, but because it’s a truly original item.

Our best-selling personalised décor item is the personalised director’s chair. You can customise the backrest with embroidery or printed fabric featuring the child’s name. Choose the fabric colour to match their room — and rest assured, the surprise will be big when they unwrap it!

The Alphabet Animal decorative name plaque is also a top-seller as a Christmas gift for children (and not just for Christmas!). The plaque features their name and a cute animal whose initial matches their first letter. It’s ideal for kids learning to spell their name, and just as lovely for a baby’s nursery — making it a great new baby gift too!

Looking for an unusual gift idea? The personalised book lamp is a perfect Christmas gift! You can engrave it with a message or name to make it a truly memorable present.

A classic décor item that never fails: the cushion. And lucky for you, at Amikado you can personalise it however you like — with a photo, a name, a message, or one of our designs. Whether for Christmas or another occasion, child or adult, the personalised cushion is one of our most loved gifts!
