Personalise your presents this Christmas

• Promotional code:PlayPennies15%

There are four personalised gifts available in this offer.

The Christmas Balls are ordinarily £10.95 for two, but are reduced to £9.31 for you. They are 8cm in circumference, and will make a unique and gorgeouss addition to your Christmas tree – I think these are also a lovely way to commemorate baby's first Christmas or decorate Granny's tree with images of the grandkids.

For something a little more suited to children, there's a personalised Santa Storybook. Your leading man or lady will help Santa spread the Christmas Spirit as Rudolph the Reindeer offers you a ride. The full colour, hard cover story covers 24 pages and while included in the story, there's also space for a personal message for your recipient. (We reviewed a personalised story book from YourSurprise.com over the summer, if you want to know more about it!) £11.95 becomes £10.15 in this deal

A rather unusual gift, the personalised Christmas Song is a catchy tune that has a few adaptable lyrics – for example you can change affectionate terms like 'darling' or 'angel' and the name of your recipient will be mentioned 3 times throughout the song. This is burned to CD and wrapped in Christmas wrapping for £11.43.

And then, if you're skipping the presents but want to show a little thought for the cards, there's a lovely range of customisable Christmas Cards you can add photos, texts, different designs and so on. These can then be sent directly our be returned to you to hand out yourself. Personalised Christmas Cards cost £1.66 each.

Shipping isn't included in the prices, but those differ for each item, so just check on each item before you start.

Last month we offered readers a 15% discount on items from Your Surprise, and I ordered a personalised book for my daughter. I’ve always wondered what they’re like and how they read, and since she is really into animals at the moment, we ordered her the Farm Animals Personalised Book.

There’s a great selection of personalised children's stories on the site, including a baby’s birth story, football and princess stories.

Getting the order done couldn’t be easier. Once you’ve chosen your book, you answer a set of questions such as ‘what is the leading figure’s first name, age, sex, and where do they live'. You can add additional information, like three of your child’s friends, family or favourite people, and then also a personal message.

The personalised book arrived less than a week later, nicely packaged and in a bag you really could use as gift wrapping, if you didn’t want to buy extra.

It is a hardback book, with a glossy cover and is what I consider good quality. It definitely can withstand a bit of playroom rough housing, but of course, the idea is that it is a special gift. On the inside page was the personalised message to my daughter, with the date.

The story itself is quite cute – all about a visit to and subsequent overnight stay on a farm. Her ‘friends’ are included in the text, such as ‘I only wish Dee, Abbi and Lindi could see me now’, or ‘Can’t wait to tell Dee, Abbi and Lindi all about my visit to the farm when I get back to London.’  So, it’s quite cute and my little girl was intrigued by her name coming up in the story.

The only thing that would make it better would be having an image of her included somehow, but still, not only is the book good quality, but the images are too. Actually, the artwork really impressed me.

So, all round, I think it's reasonably priced and am very happy with the quality, and I suspect it’s the kind of book my little one will enjoy more and more as she gets older and really understands the personalised story.
