10 Custom Gift Ideas for Christmas That’ll Actually Get Used

If you’ve ever struggled to find a Christmas gift that’s both thoughtful and practical, we’ve got good news. This year, skip the socks and last-minute candles - and give something personal instead.

At The Print Bar, we make it easy to create custom gifts in Australia that are unique, useful, and made to last. From personalised mugs to embroidered bucket hats, here are ten custom gift ideas perfect for everyone on your list this festive season.

1. A Personalised Mug for Morning Magic

Nothing says “I know you” like a mug with a personal touch. Whether it’s a photo of the family pet, a cheeky quote, or your company logo, a custom printed mug makes every morning coffee a little brighter.

2. The Classic Custom T-Shirt 

The humble custom t-shirt is a gift that never fails. It’s wearable, personal, and perfect for both individuals and teams. Upload your design, choose your colour, and let us handle the rest - printed locally in Australia with love.

3. A Cool Custom Tank Top for Summer 

For beach days, barbecues, and gym sessions, a custom tank top is a summer staple. Lightweight, breathable, and fully customisable - it’s a great gift for the sun-lover in your life.

4. The Worktones Market Bag 

Stylish, durable, and endlessly practical, the Worktones Market Bag is perfect for weekend markets or grocery runs. Add your own print for a personalised twist, or keep it minimal for a sleek everyday tote.

5. The Kids’ Custom T-Shirt 

Give the little ones something fun to wear this Christmas! With soft, high-quality cotton and endless design options, our kids’ custom t-shirts are perfect for mini-artists, sports teams, or matching family outfits.

6. The Infant Onesie (Guaranteed “Aww” Factor) 

Cute, comfy, and totally customisable - a personalised baby onesie makes the sweetest stocking stuffer. Add their name, a holiday graphic, or a fun quote for a keepsake that’ll melt hearts.

7. The Cosy Custom Hoodie 

Perfect for chilly summer nights and early morning coffee runs, a custom printed hoodie combines comfort with personality. Add your logo, artwork, or favourite quote for the ultimate all-season wardrobe staple.

8. The House of Peaks Terry Bucket Hat 

Our friends at House of Peaks know a thing or two about summer style. Their Terry Bucket Hat is made for days in the sun - soft, absorbent, and effortlessly cool. Add embroidery or a print to make it uniquely yours.

9. The House of Peaks Stitch Hat 

A staple for any season, the House of Peaks Stitch Hat blends classic style with a premium fit. Customise it with your logo or initials for a personal touch that makes an everyday essential feel special.

10. The Always-Needed Stubby Coolers

Whether it’s for backyard BBQs or camping trips, custom stubby coolers are the unsung hero of Aussie gifting. Affordable, practical, and perfectly personalisable - they’re a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.
