Having your name or initials emblazoned on something never gets old. It goes back to that pride you felt back in third grade, when writing your name into your favorite books sent a statement to the world: “This is mine.” (And if you’re like me, you also drew a unicorn and stars for good measure) As far as gifts go, something personalized or custom-designed shows that you put a bit of effort into it, when you could totally just buy an iTunes gift card.

With that in mind, we gathered a bunch of customizable gift ideas at various price points. Whether your recipient is into fashion or not, here are ten ideas for cool custom gifts. Click through to check them out.

It’s officially mid-November, which means it’s probably time to start shopping for holiday gifts…or at least thinking about it. Not sure what to get your fashion-obsessed loved one? This year, we’d recommend a pretty fashion book, especially because there are so many good ones that have come out recently.

Who wouldn’t want a photographic look back at the house of Gucci or Carine Roitfeld’s career sitting on their coffee table? We certainly do, so we’ve compiled what we believe are the 10 best fashion books to have come out this year. And if you end up buying one of them for yourself, that’s okay. We won’t tell!

It’s getting down to the wire, but that doesn’t mean your holiday gifts have to lack that personal touch. We’ve rounded up some of our favorite personalized gifts–from charms to monogrammed iPad cases to signet rings. We’d be psyched to get any of these goodies with our initials stamped on them.

Granted, some of these call for a bit more advanced planning, so keep them in mind for birthdays, too. And there’s always next year. (If you’re still stumped, don’t forget about our other gift guides!)

We were going to do a shopping for others. Something like, Dear Uptown Pocahantas, We found these shoes for you. Actually, we hope you found them for yourself because really, no one else can wear them, let alone afford them. You probably can’t run with the wind in them, but you can at least make [...]
