From a shopping editor and mom of two, these are the best personalized gifts for kids
Personalized gifts are one of the more thoughtful ways to show your grandkids how much they mean to you. Especially for grandparents during the holidays, customized gifts for kids can either be keepsakes that your little ones can cherish for years to come or can include their interests. Maybe they're into Hot Wheels and need a clever way to store their cars, or perhaps they're into Squishmallows and would like one that's just for them. Whatever they're into, there are a ton of personalized gift ideas that you probably haven't thought about before.

While it's easy to find cheap but cute stocking stuffers under $15 and even a few gift ideas for the women in your life, shopping for grandkids, especially if you want unique gift ideas, can take a bit more thought. So, whether you're shopping for a newborn whose parents are celebrating their first Christmas as a family of three or are looking for a personalized gift for the kid who's a new big brother or sister, below are a few of our favorite personalized gift ideas.
A great gift for both parents and children, personalized name puzzles can be fun for the entire family. As a baby keepsake, parents can put it together and display it on a bookshelf in their baby's bedroom, and they can use it later in life to help the child learn to spell their name. This puzzle can also include fun designs to speak to the child's interests.
What better way to help first-time parents celebrate Christmas than with a new, personalized ornament to celebrate the newest family member? A great Christmas gift for both parents and kids, these customizable ornaments are meant to be cherished throughout life. Christmas ornaments can include birth date, time, weight, length and city/state.
Over the years, baby toys and dolls have become one of the best-selling gifts for the holiday season. Your doll-lover will enjoy a personalized one to cuddle with or to add to their playroom.
