Christmas Memorial Gifts: Personalised Ways to Remember Them

Christmas can be the hardest time of year when someone is missing from the table. A memorial gift gives them a place in the day, whether that is a plaque by the tree, a hoodie worn on Christmas morning or a keepsake for someone who is grieving. Because every piece here is personalised with their name, date or photo, it feels like them rather than a generic sympathy gift.

A plaque for the Christmas table

The Personalised Christmas Memorial Cloud Plaque (£13.95) was made for this time of year. It has a Christmas in Heaven design with a winter lantern, a red robin and a stairway through soft clouds, and you add their name or title, a year and a remembrance verse. It sits nicely on a mantelpiece or next to the tree, and it works as a sympathy gift too.

If you would rather use a photo, the In Loving Memory Acrylic Arch Plaque (£13.95) frames your picture inside a golden floral wreath, with their name and the words "Always in our thoughts, forever in our hearts".

Memorial hoodies to wear on the day

A hoodie is something the whole family can wear together on Christmas Day or at a memorial. The In Loving Memory Embroidered Memorial Hoodie (from £28.33) is custom embroidered with a name and date, so it is subtle enough for everyday wear.

For a printed design, the Forever In Our Hearts Hoodie and the In Loving Memory Wings Hoodie (both from £27.49) carry their name and a special date. All three come in eight colours, including Deep Black, Oxford Navy, Dusty Blue and Blush Pink, in adult sizes up to XXL and kids sizes from 3-4 years. Our memorial hoodie guide goes through every design.

Photo memorial t-shirts

The Personalised Doves Memorial T-Shirt (from £21.24) puts your photo inside a ring of doves, with sunrise and sunset times and a title of In Loving Memory or Forever in Our Hearts. The Forever In Our Hearts Memorial T-Shirt (from £25.49) takes a photo, name, date and short tribute message. Both come in regular and oversized fits.

Remembering a pet at Christmas

Pets are family too. The Pet Memorial Acrylic Arch Plaque (£13.95) has your pet's photo in a botanical oval frame, a paw print and the words "Always in our hearts", plus their name and dates. There are more ideas in our personalised pet gifts guide.

For a little one lost too soon

The Memorial Bear Teddy (£19.99) is a soft keepsake made to honour a baby, personalised with a name or short message. You can choose a bear, a bunny or an elephant in several colours. It is a gentle gift for parents facing their first Christmas without their baby.
