Useful and fun personalised gifts are far and few between when it comes to gadgets. If you have an iPhone 4 or 4s or know someone who has and you're feeling in a giving mood then get TechStitch to cross stitch a set of initials on an iPhone case for you.

The case is a flexible, one-piece polyurethane composite that's available in 12 colors. You can add lettering in any current DMC thread color and it's made to order. So, make sure your order it with plenty of time to spare before the big day.

I just had to show you guys these tiny grizzly bear baby slippers because they're far too cute.  Babycricket's toe warmers are made with a super fuzzy mocha colored fabric (inside and out) with dark brown soft faux leather claws stitched into the toes.

Eileen from Babycricket has added in a gentle band of elastic at the ankle to ensure that the shoes stay on your babies feet if they decide to get busy walking and they remain easy to slip on. For colour contrasting design Eileen has used a brown minky for the soles for sizes up to 6 months and non slip durable brown faux-leather for baby's older than 6 months.

The slippers are machine washable with the rest of your laundry and you can tumble dry them on a medium heat. Eileen makes the shoes for 3 to 24 month old babies but they'll make them for bigger feet too so kids and us-so-called adults can get in on the grizzly bear action too.

If you don't want to lug an expensive bit of kit around with you then it's probably worth while kicking it back to the old school and writing down the things you want to do on an actual tablet made up of natural materials like this reclaimed wood chalkboad tablet gift.

The reclaimed oak is from the Liberty Highschool built in 1918, Philadelphia and the black leather strap is made from WWII Spats, WWII Gun Holster and Early 1900s purses. You also get a Cretacolor chalk pencil of which my chums you use to write on the smooth natural tung oil finished black chalkboard. There's a teeny hole in the top for hanging and it measures in at 8in x 3 1/2in x 1/2in.

If you're hoping for a kiss this Christmas from that someone special then you may have to push the boat out a little further than toiletries. Yes, men, I'm talking to you, you should never forget to get busy in the shmooty-shmooty romantic department with your better half. I'm saying this only because I'm useless at it.

If you want to show how much you care then picking a bunch of wild flowers and leaving her a little message in this message in a bottle vase gift will make her feel all that bit special. If you're planning on taking back control of the remote or sofa then get picking.

You'll get 2 vials, one for your flowers and the other for your message of which comes with a blank heart adorned scroll tied with hemp. The base is made from wood (olde growth pine) thats been reclaimed from antique floor joists from houses built in the 1800s in Philadelphia.

It's reasuringly good to know that each vase is made to order so expect there to be a possible two week production period before shipping. In other words get in early.

Yasmin from LittleLoveHM submitted this gift to me a while back and I've just got round to checking her handmade iPhone / iPod cases out. Awesome handy work Yasmin! If you love throwing your iPhone / iPod about and enjoy luzzing crazy looking birds at things then Yasmins' felt made case(s) will probably tick all your boxes.

Yasmin has added a velcro strap to the case in order to ensure your pride & joy gadget is safely nestled in place. Word to the wise - just because your iPhones dressed up like an Angry Bird doesn't mean that you can walk around the office chucking your iPhone at peoples faces (because you don't like the look of them and want to see them disappear in a puff of feathers),.. if only!

Thanks for submitting your gift Yasmin

Bring it on Apple fan boys, show the love for the Mac and this ingenious upcycled laser mouse gift by the lovebirds Holly and PJ from GettingWeddy at Lake Jackson, Texas. I can see Apple geeks falling off their perches at the thought of whipping this puppy all up and around their waist. Slurping, tongue wagging, pelvic thrusting noises of pure excitement shall ensue as they John Travolta walk their Mac belts all over Silicon Valley.

A few days ago I showcased the peace usb and now it's all about throwing up the peace sign in Beeswax. I won't babble on about how the peace sign is deemed a swear word here in the UK, I think I'm over that now - but - Missi Burgess of Story Time Candles is infatuated with turning everyday things & beings (body parts in this case) into meltable loveliness.

Every candle is handmade from their custom mold so each one will have tiny imperfections or variations in color - this to me just makes the gift even more unique. They can create your candle in a range of colours, all you have to do is ask.

A subtly brilliant gift by Richard Neeley! He's taken a classic novel and crafted in a iPod and iPhone dock that you can coil up the excess chord inside of the book itself. This gift would sit ambiguously on any desk without a hint of it's true purpose. There's a great collection of book docks to choose from like Pride & Prejudice, Dracula, Treasure Island and many more. Each book dock is hand-built so you'll need to be patient if you order one, but I bet it's well worth the wait.

Love it, love it, love it! I need not say anymore but I'm a blabber mouth so I shall continue. Anything that'll freak the pants off someone gets a thumbs up and LoveLeeSoaps! from Daytona Beach, Florida, United States have come to shock and clean. Each finger of fun is made with moisturising ingredients and is scented with a watermelon fragrance. Splendid!

Helen and Sid are the creative works of the artist Tom Shelton. Both of them are one-of-a-kind key racks made from recycled materials. They're both put together with nuts, bolts and nails so they'll take you luzzing and hanging your keys, dog leash, jewelry, or whatever else springs to mind on. Each piece comes with Tom's signature and date so they my be worth a few bob one day. I personally like the creative use of materials to create the faces.

If you want to take your love for arcade games to the next level and bring it home then these arcade light switches are a fun gift to bring back the gaming mood into your lounge. Each light switch is custom made by Alyson and Meghan of Aleph Design based in Carmichael, CA, USA so it may take a little longer than normal to get it into your hands. I'm a big fan of the black version seen above.

I recently featured Chic Sin Designs rather large lounging bear cushion and a few of you liked it so I went back to their store to bring you these realistic looking wood tree log pillow gifts. One of the reasons why I'm fond of Chic Sin Design is because they don't print the patterns onto the cotton, they knit the graphics on using a specialised knit machine - very clever!

The I am Here play mat gift by Board Stiff in Oakville, Canada is a play mat for your little one's zoom-zoom cars that's custom designed to your neighborhood. It's professionally printed on 10oz vinyl (15oz vinyl is also available for a additional fee) and it's easy to roll up, clean and store. It's definately an awesome way to connect your children to your neighbourhood.

If you want to cuddle up to a grizzly without the risk of loosing a limb then now's your chance because this big grizzly bean bag gift is as docile as a new born puppy. The true magic behind this gift is in the craftmanship because the bear likeness of the bean bag isn't achieved by plain ole printing, it's been knitted, clever huh! Chic Sin Design from Hong Kong have a great collection of other knitted, life-like beanbags to buy.

To quill or not to quill - that is obviously the question in our modern day times. I love the idea of using a quill but I'm messy so I'm a little afraid that I'd get more ink on me rather than on paper. If you want the best of both worlds then these Ostrich feather pen gifts by Ruby Doll creations could be your answer. These may be a little flamboyant for the office but they'd be great gifts for showers and weddings.

Arrrrr! So cute! Look at how dapper he looks in his dicky bow tie collar. SillyBuddy from Chicago (USA) are the creators of this hand made gift that's made from cotton & linen blend fabrics that are interfaced for added structure. They use heavyweight, yet soft webbing and triple stitch at all stress points for durability. The contoured side release buckle has a breaking point of 325lbs of force! I just love the design!

Brokesy has managed to bring together two things I love and need the most. My iPad (aka iRene) and an erasable surface for me to doodle on. Brokesy's Chalkboard iPad case gift is made from a dense foam especially designed to protect electronics from bumps and spills and chalkboard vinyl, of which is water-resistant and super easy to keep clean. She can also make this gift for Kindles, Nooks and other eReaders

I was completely flummoxed by these candles disguised as cakes. Look at it, they look so realistic,... especially the strawberry tart and it's also scented. You can choose from a wide range of candle gifts that cover the cake world and if your feeling rather oriental you can pick up some sushi candles too.

Gr0glmann is the creative mind behind these cool, retro and classy silver plated LEGO cufflinks. He makes them all himself and he's got a huge array of colours and LEGO designs for you to choose. He's also created some cool cufflinks from our favourite board games like monopoly that are definitely worth a gander. More importantly all of the profit he gets from selling his gifts go to into his college fund. Truly inspiring, I wish you all the fortune in the world Gr0glmann. Why the '0' in your name I wonder!

The dynamic duo designers Agnieszka and Dorota explain Corezone as 'a closed ceramic space, where one can place their thoughts, feelings and emotions. An attempt to fulfill emotional needs by the means of an object, a try to withhold immaterial being in a material space.' Guys, gimme whatever you're smoking! I like this gift because it's thought provoking - not many gifts can do that.

Happy New Year everyone! Bring on 2011 with bells and whistles. To kick start 2011 I turn my aim to men who have a penchat for fashion & gadgets. This 'Class President' recycled men's necktie with 2 pocket gadget holder wristlet is a great blend for fashionista gadgeters. It's lovingly made by TearfulTouch from Southern California, Pennsylvania, USA.

If you want Santa to stuff your Christmas stocking with all things wonderful this Christmas it may be worth giving him something special to cram your presents into - like these handmade 18" tall unique christmas boot stocking gifts by Jeanettes. Each one has been lovingly painted to give them a 3D affect and come with a silk lining. She's got loads more in her collection for you to look at.

i-i, bring on the heels, time to jazz up the lair of your horticultural buddies with Giddy Spinsters cheeky and modern home décor. These stiletto heel planter gifts are made from upcycled worn heels. The gift concept is about hard-working women, the increasingly artificial nature of American femininity, and the impossible images that women face in our society. It's a prickly, spiky, sticky situation.

I promise I will soon stop hammering Apple products (promise!) - but it's too easy to poke fun at them. Todays savvy gift to help reduce your loss of reception on your iPhone is this rather clever wrap around vinyl decal that glows in the dark. It's inviting glow is like a visual representation of the radiation seeping into your brain every time you use a mobile phone.

I know this looks a little kitch but look beyond the old school dinner plates and into the new school designs. The quality of the graphics are pretty good and I tip my hat to you Angela - the creator of these antique plates with a twist. My favourite has to be Gizmo because I loved the Gremlins. E.T's pretty smart and who didn't love the Goonies - check out Chunk and Sloth bottom right of image.

Ha-ha, I'm wetting myself, (unless you haven't heard) Apples iPhone 4 antennagate is ripe at the moment and here's a gift to rub the salt into the wound for that little bit longer. I do love my iPhone 3GS & iPad but I couldn't help show you guys this gift - it's important to know that the vinyl stickers are for entertainment purposes only, results of reception improvement may vary.

This upcycled gift is by Love Nostalgic Whimsy, try saying that with a mouthful. The lady in charge LNW is mad on salvaging whatever she can get her hands on in order to give it a new life. Like these suitcase tables, bold in design and cleverly recycled. These gifts will have the odd teeny mark here and there which gives these gifts that unique air of individualism about them.

Scott hand sculpts and casts every iRetrophone in urethane resin to give each one that unique identity. Like a real phone, once plugged into your iPhone it'll re-direct all calls via the headset. Old school nostalgia with modern day technology is a sweet mix. The iRetrophone gift is designed to use your standard USB syncing cable that comes with your iPhone so that you can charge & sync it with your workstation.

Whose your daddy? - wolf whistle - Ello Doris - wolf whistle - these are the sort of remarks common with scaffolding clad builders. Less so from Demo - Design Clinic the creators of these handmade desk lamps that ooze an aura of industrial beauty unlike the common and unpleasant site of builders crack. Demo are a seven designer co-op that lean towards the green side of production and this gift embodies their belief. Less is more!

Blah! the fish pouch and he's hilarious cousins are designed by Lotte Bongers from the Netherlands. He's made from sturdy red faux leather and packs enough room for your pens, make up, sunglasses, cell phone and anything else you can cram into his gob. When you fancy shocking someone simply pull his tongue out to reveal his true mischievousness. I think he's a fun gift for all ages.

If you're into robots, sculptures and collectables then Brian Marshalls Adobtabot is a gift for you. Brian describes his collection as the world’s first robot orphanage where he takes discarded scrap and turns them into robots for others to enjoy. There's obvously a lot of thought that goes into Brian's work because these bots have assumed their very own personality by the way Brian has fused them together. Good job sir!

Sarah submitted her work a few days back and after rummaging around her shop I knew I had to show you guys her unique, fun and playful drawn to sewn creations like Mr (or is it Mrs) Zippermouth up top. This is her hobby and passion and I'm all for supporting great work so keep it up Sarah - btw Sarah can also make one-off pieces with names etc which would make great gifts.

These little gems of creation are all hand made by Kristal Davis of rikrak. Kristal hales from Ottawa (Canada) and from the research I've been able to dig up on her shows that she's a proud mum and pretty dab handy with the sewing needle not to mention her eye for colourful design. These stockings are made from ecospun felt and she has a few custom order options for you if you like what you see above.

All you have to do is send Fallon your personal message (she can add your address if you wish) and she'll hand write it on your pillow with two stamps that look good together and will draw a red stamp with your city and state written on the inside.
