When in doubt, put a monogram on it.
When it comes to those closest to you, the quest for the "perfect gift" always involves finding something that feels personal, and not purchased in haste.

No matter the person, the occasion, or the location, there's nothing better than a personalized present that's been printed, engraved, or embossed. From a bottle of smooth, relaxing whisky to an initial pendant, these are the 10 best personalized gifts to give this year (you can guarantee they won’t be regifted).
