What could be more personal than a handmade gift? How about a personalised handmade gift, custom made just for you... Many artists on Folksy make customised versions of their products, & some specialise entirely in this area. I present below a few of what I think are the coolest custom finds on Folksy!
These beautiful handmade suncatchers are sandblasted with a child's name, birthday & birth weight (or alternative details of your choosing) - what a perfect & unusual gift to hang in the window of a new child's bedroom!

Such great ideas! I love the custom stamp!
Fabulous finds, Jane! All sorts of great ideas in here for gifts which are completely unique!
What lovely ideas! The suncatchers are gorgeous!
I hope you don't mind me mentioning my own christening/birth keepsakes which are customisable with newspaper from the day of your special event and a name/word embroidered on the front.

I will also try to accomodate any requests for different themes for the shapes in the windows. I like a challenge/to fulfill your needs!
I can also do something similar for weddings/anniversaries but for buying newspapers it's usually best if I have advance warning of the event/date.
All my cards are customisable also!

Wow, some amazing finds - being able to personalise something is such a bonus of buying handmade :)
Thanks for the mention! I love the papercut card, just brilliant!

Neat post Jane - you're right on top of things! Did you see the Etsy write up for the Holiday Bootcamp about custom items and how they're very popular around that time? Hugs to Max and Molly, Lisa
