Personalized Christmas Gifts for Wife or Girlfriend: Couple Ideas
Quick answer: The most personal Christmas gifts for a wife or girlfriend are about the two of you: a handmade couple bobblehead ($127.40–$169.90), photo engraved champagne flutes for your New Year's Eve toast ($78.20 a pair) or a crystal ball music box with your photo ($79.90). For a newer relationship, a sterling silver necklace with her pet's face ($33.90) or a photo moon lamp (from $33.90) is personal without being too much, and a silk sleep mask set with her name costs $89.90. Order a bobblehead by November 16, the flutes, necklace and music box by November 27, and everything else by December 1 for standard US delivery before Christmas.
Personalized Christmas gift ideas for your wife or girlfriend
Every gift below is made to order from your photo, her name or a nickname, and each price is for the option described. You can browse more ideas in our personalized gifts for her collection.
A bobblehead of the two of you ($127.40–$169.90)
The custom couple bobblehead is sculpted by hand in polymer clay from your photos, so it looks like the two of you. We can recreate your first date, the proposal, a favorite trip or a shared hobby. Two people cost $127.40–$169.90, depending on the height (6, 7 or 8 inches) and whether the heads are fixed or bobble. Add your dog or cat for $161.40–$204.80, or a separate prop for $169.90–$217.50. To show her on her own instead, the custom bobblehead for her starts at $67.90. Bobbleheads take 10–15 business days to make after you approve the preview, so this is the gift to order first, by November 16.
Glasses for your New Year's Eve toast ($78.20 a pair)
The photo engraved champagne flutes and wine glasses carry your photo, your names or a date, such as the day you met. A couple set of two costs $78.20, in champagne flutes (8.8 oz) or red wine glasses (11.8 oz), and a single glass is $46.60. Give them at Christmas and use them a week later at midnight. They take 5–7 business days to make, so order by November 27.
Your favorite photo of the two of you, lit up
- 3D crystal ball music box ($79.90): your photo inside a 4-inch crystal ball on a wooden base. It plays "Always with Me" when wound up, while an LED light projects a pattern on the ceiling. It takes 5–7 business days to make, so order by November 27.
- Custom photo 3D moon lamp ($33.90–$50.90): printed with your photo, with a name, date or short message such as "Our first Christmas," in 4.0, 4.7 or 5.9 inch sizes. It takes 3–5 business days to make, so order by December 1.
A necklace with the pet you share ($33.90)
The sterling silver pet photo necklace has her dog's or cat's face carved into a 925 sterling silver pendant from your photo, with a name or short phrase engraved on the back. If you adopted a pet together, it is a gift about both of you. It takes 5–7 business days to make, so order by November 27.
Something soft with her name
The silk sleep mask gift set ($89.90) includes a mulberry silk sleep mask with her name, initials or a short phrase in rhinestone embroidery, plus a matching padded headband and scrunchie in a gift box, in Blush Pink, White, Lavender or Ruffled Blush Pink. A nickname only you use works too. The fluffy makeup bag ($79.90) is a soft pink quilted bag, about 9.8 × 5.9 × 3.9 inches, with her name or initials embroidered on it. Each ships free on its own.
Smaller gifts and stocking stuffers
- Glitter compact mirror ($29.90): her name in rhinestones on a purse-size mirror, in 5 glitter colors and a heart, round or rectangular shape, with a 2x magnifying mirror inside.
- Hand-painted wooden hair brush ($39.90): beech wood with hand-painted flowers, in a large size with her full name or a small size with one initial.
The price of each includes the personalization.
Wife or girlfriend: which gift fits?
- Dating for a few months: the pet necklace, a 4-inch moon lamp ($33.90 each) or the compact mirror ($29.90).
- Living together or engaged: the crystal ball music box, the champagne flutes or the sleep mask set.
- Married: the couple bobblehead recreating your wedding day, or two gifts together.

How to order and which photo to send
- Couple photos: use the Upload your photo button and choose a sharp, well-lit photo where both faces are large and in focus. For a bobblehead, add a front-facing photo of each face and describe the scene in Special instructions.
- Keeping it a surprise: photos from your phone, or ones you have both shared online, usually work. You can reply to your order confirmation email with more photos.
- Names and nicknames: name items are made exactly as typed, including capital letters, so check the spelling.
- Necklace: send a sharp, front-facing close-up of the pet's face. Low-resolution photos lose detail in the carving.
Items made from a photo come with a digital preview to approve before production starts, and bobbleheads get previews as the figure takes shape. Reply quickly, because production begins only after you approve.
