Christmas Gifts for Her: A Personalised Gift Guide for Mum, Daughters, Sisters and Friends

Last updated: October 2026

The most meaningful Christmas gifts for her are the ones that show you were paying attention. A necklace engraved with her children's initials, a name that means something to her, or the birthstone of someone she loves says "I see you" in a way a generic present rarely can. This guide is organised by who you're buying for (mum, a new mum, your daughter, your sister, your best friend, or someone who seems to have everything), with two or three personalised pieces for each. 

At a glance: every personalised piece is made to order in our workshop in Ireland and is made and dispatched within 2 working days. Every order comes in a Lulu + Belle gift box as standard, and you can add our optional Gift Bag + Gift Note to any order, at any time of year.

Christmas Gifts for Mum

For most mums, the most personal gift is one that carries her children with her. A piece with each child's initial, or a date that changed everything, is something she can wear every day rather than keep in a drawer.

  • Gold Initial Necklace, Two or More Discs — €119. A 12mm rolled gold disc for each initial, on an adjustable 16–18 inch chain. It's one of our most-loved pieces for mums because every child is represented in a single necklace.
  • Gold Initial Family Necklace — €96. Starts with one 12mm initial disc, and you can add further discs in graduated sizes, so they can reflect the ages of the little people in her life.
  • Gold Date and Initial Necklace — €96. An initial alongside a date that matters, such as a birthday or the day she became a mum, with the option of up to four initial charms.

Buying for a grandmother? Our Personalised Necklace for Grandmother in Gold (€108) is engraved with whatever you love to call her (Granny, Nana, Mamó) and carries "Loved Beyond Measure" on the back. Browse more in our Mum Jewellery collection, or read our guide to family and multi-generational jewellery for help choosing between names and birthstones.

Christmas Gifts for a New Mum

A first Christmas as a mum is a milestone of its own. A piece that records the details of her baby's arrival tends to mean more to her with every year that passes.

  • Birthcoin® Necklace — Gold €128 / Silver €104. Our Birthcoin® is engraved with the date and time of birth, weight and height, set around a small heart at the centre.
  • Gold Initial Necklace + Birthstone — €97. The baby's initial on a 12mm rolled gold disc, with their birthstone alongside.

Christmas Gifts for Your Daughter

For a grown-up daughter, a small, everyday piece with her own initial is a quiet reminder of where she comes from, and of who's always in her corner. (Please note our jewellery is designed for adults, not for young children.)

  • Dainty Gold Initial Necklace — €70. A 9mm rolled gold disc engraved with one initial, on a fine or medium weight chain.
  • Initial Bracelet with Birthstone — Gold €69 / Silver €59. A tiny 6mm initial disc and a suspended birthstone, on a bracelet that adjusts between 6.5 and 7.5 inches.

Christmas Gifts for Your Sister

A sister has known you longer than almost anyone. A piece with her name, or her initial and birthstone, recognises a relationship that doesn't need explaining.

  • Midi Name Necklace + Heart — Gold €133 / Silver €107. A 16mm disc personalised with up to 20 characters, layered with a small heart charm.
  • Dainty Initial Necklace + Birthstone — Gold €85 / Silver €77. Her initial and the birthstone of her month, or of someone she loves.

Christmas Gifts for Your Best Friend

Friendship jewellery works best when it's a little bit private: a symbol you both understand, even if nobody else does.

  • Wild Bunch Initial Necklace — Gold €128 / Silver €104. A disc engraved with a wildflower bouquet, designed in our studio and unique to Lulu + Belle, threaded with a small initial disc for your friend.
  • Wild Bunch Friendship Bracelet — Gold €75 / Silver €69. The same wildflower engraving on a bracelet, a lovely one to exchange within a group of friends.

Our guide to the meaning behind friendship jewellery has more ideas for close friends.

For Someone Who Has Everything

When she already has the things she needs, the gift that stands out is the one only you could have chosen: a word, a date or a set of names that belongs to her story.

  • Engraved Edge Personalised Necklace — Gold €108 / Silver €84. The edge of the disc is engraved with up to 20 characters: names, a meaningful word or a date. A birthstone charm can be added.
  • Gold Personalised Necklace with Double Disc + Birthstone — €164. Two of our larger discs, one smooth and one textured, with the smaller one personalised, plus a birthstone for a touch of colour.

How Does Personalisation Work?

Each personalised piece shows its options on the product page: initials, names, dates, words or a birthstone, along with any character limit. You add your personalisation in the box provided before adding the piece to your basket.

Because every piece is engraved exactly as entered, it's worth taking a moment to double-check spellings and dates before you order, as personalised pieces can't be returned. If you're unsure how a name will fit or which option to choose, our team is happy to help: just get in touch before you order. Once your order is placed, your piece is made to order and dispatched within 2 working days.

A Note from Sandra

Every year the demand for personalised jewellery increases at Christmas time as people love the added meaning of a piece that is made just for their loved one with the initials, dates or words that have a special resonance for them.  We love the idea of so many hand crafted Lulu + Belle pieces under the Christmas tree each year and we are honoured to make something thoughtful that's loved far beyond Christmas morning. 

Which Metal Should I Choose, and What Is Gold Filled?

The simplest guide is to match what she already wears. If she reaches for silver every day, choose silver; if she's a gold person, choose gold.

  • Sterling silver has a cool, understated finish.
  • 14kt gold filled (rolled gold) is a layer of 14kt gold pressure-bonded to a core metal. Gold plated jewellery has only a thin surface coating of gold, so gold filled is tarnish resistant and holds up much better to everyday wear, which is why it's priced higher than plated alternatives.
  • Gold vermeil is a layer of gold over sterling silver, used in our Element birthstone pieces.
  • 9ct gold is solid gold throughout.

With a little care, any of these will stay part of her everyday. Our guide to how to clean jewellery at home covers each one.

Does It Come in a Gift Box?

Yes. Every Lulu + Belle order comes in our gift box as standard, so it's ready to give.

If you'd like to add something extra, our Add Gift Bag + Gift Note (€4) is an optional add-on available on every order, all year round. It adds a rose gold foiled gift bag and a matching gift note with your message.

A Note on Birthstones

If she'd rather wear a stone than a name, our Element Birthstone Collection uses one genuine, natural gemstone for each birth month. Each is available as a Pendant Necklace (Gold Vermeil €104 / Sterling Silver €84) and matching oval Stud Earrings (Gold Vermeil €59 / Sterling Silver €55), cut from the same stone, so the two can be given as a set.

For a piece that grows over time, the Dainty Birthstone Pendant (€45, gold or silver) starts with one birthstone for one person. You can add another Dainty Pendant for each person who matters to her, layered together. Not sure of her month? Our guide What Is My Birthstone? has the full chart.

Christmas Gift FAQ

What is a thoughtful Christmas gift for her?

A personalised piece of jewellery, such as an initial necklace, a name necklace or a birthstone piece, makes a thoughtful Christmas gift because it represents someone or something she loves.

What are good Christmas gifts for mum?

An initial necklace with each child's initial, a date and initial necklace, or a family necklace with graduated discs are popular Christmas gifts for mum from Lulu + Belle, because she can wear her whole family in one piece.

How long does a personalised piece take?

Lulu + Belle personalised jewellery is made to order and dispatched within 2 working days. Delivery time is separate and depends on the destination and delivery service.

Does every order come in a gift box?

Yes. Every Lulu + Belle order comes in a Lulu + Belle gift box as standard.

Can I add gift wrap and a gift message?

Yes. The Add Gift Bag + Gift Note add-on (€4) is available on every Lulu + Belle order, all year round. It adds a rose gold foiled gift bag and a matching gift note.

What is gold filled jewellery?

Gold filled, also called rolled gold, is a layer of 14kt gold pressure-bonded to a core metal. It is tarnish resistant and more durable than gold plated jewellery, which has only a thin surface coating of gold.

What materials does Lulu + Belle use?

Lulu + Belle jewellery is handcrafted in Ireland using sterling silver, 14kt gold filled (rolled gold), 9ct gold and gold vermeil. 

Can I check my personalisation before I order?

Yes. Personalisation is entered on the product page before you order, and engraved exactly as entered, so it's worth double-checking spellings and dates. If you have a question, the Lulu + Belle team can help before you place your order.

Can I send it straight to the recipient?

Yes. Enter the recipient's address as the delivery address at checkout. Standard deliveries within Ireland are sent tracked with An Post and require a signature.
