Fitbit goalkeeper. GoPro thrill-seeker. Imaginary horse trainer. Rare book collector. They\u2019re your best friend, your dad, your niece, or your girlfriend. And, even if you have no idea why they love what they love, this holiday season, they deserve something better than mass-produced presents. Something that shows how well you know them. And to really take it into \u201ctreasure forever\u201d territory, customize it! Shapeways\u2019 Holiday Gift Guide<\/a> offers thousands of ways for you to help them express themselves<\/a> — including lots of amazing customizable options<\/a> that will let you put their personal stamp on useful accessories they\u2019ll love.<\/p>\n

Here are my top five favorite customizable gifts in this year\u2019s Holiday Gift Guide<\/a>, for some of my favorite people.<\/p>\n

1. For my niece: An ornament to remember<\/h3>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
\"QED's<\/a>

QED’s Custom Horse Ornament<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

She won\u2019t always be a little girl with an imaginary horse named Pinky. But, she\u2019ll probably pull this Custom Horse Ornament<\/a> out every Christmas for years to come, because it will still be hers — with her name on it — long after Pinky is forgotten (or replaced by a real horse).<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

2. For my best friend: An actually stylish Fitbit cover<\/h3>\n
\"The<\/a>

The Sanabelle Fitbit Flex Bracelet by Sanabelle<\/p><\/div>\n

She\u2019s always struggled to balance her amazing style with her obsession with fitness. And because only I understand just how real this struggle is, I\u2019m getting her a sleek bracelet cover for her Flex<\/a>, complete with her initials for that bespoke touch.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

3. For my mom: A bookmark she won\u2019t lose<\/h3>\n
\"The<\/a>

The Bookmark Monogram by Studio Elisabeth<\/p><\/div>\n

First editions of Steinbeck novels are her jam. But she\u2019s so prone to losing bookmarks that old receipts are usually stuffed between their pricey covers to mark her place. It\u2019s about time she had a bookmark worthy of her passion for literature<\/a>, with her initial, so no one else can claim it. Plus, I plan to print a few extras, so she\u2019ll always have another one to find when she next loses hers.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

4. For my dad: A custom GoPro lens cap<\/h3>\n
\"Lens<\/a>

Lens Cover for GoPro by 3Dprintingdog<\/p><\/div>\n

He loves to collect electronics, and his GoPro is his favorite gadget ever. But, all those cameras and stereo systems and TVs he\u2019s loved over the years have never had his personal stamp on them. This custom GoPro cap<\/a>\u00a0will finally add a touch of personality to his standard-issue equipment (while reminding him of his favorite — ok, only — daughter).<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

5. For my uncle, the Patagonian trekker: A Llama planter<\/h3>\n
\"The<\/a>

The Llama Planter by Pearthq<\/p><\/div>\n

When he\u2019s not scaling the peaks of Patagonia, my uncle is obsessed with collecting little items that remind him of the people, places, and things he loves most. Combining the animal native to his favorite destination with a clever succulent planter, the Llama Planter <\/a>is that unusual combination of things that make it a strangely perfect gift. I\u2019ll add the name of his favorite trail to make it just-for-him.<\/p>\n
