Here are a few ideas for personalized gifts that you can create online.

For music lovers
Turn your favorite holiday tunes into one best-of Christmas CD and make copies of it. Then order personalized CD labels online and give them to all those Christmas-music-lovers you know.

For loved ones

Photobooks
Whether it’s for Mom, Dad, Grandma or Grandpa, pictures of kids, or pictures drawn by kids, are sure to draw some ‘‘oohs’’ and ‘‘ahhs.’’ There are many photo Web sites that allow you to create your own photo books, with or without captions and text. They range in size, materials and price, so check around for the perfect book for your needs.

Calendars
Most photo Web sites also offer calendars. Have some fun remembering the past year in pictures, or get creative and scan some of your children’s artwork. Then upload the scanned artwork just as you would a photo.

For kids

Shutterfly offers several children’s books with the child’s photo placed on the cover and into the story. All you have to do is upload a photo of the child and answer some questions about her. They weave her name and other personal information into the story.

Smart tip If you’re looking for a cheaper option, other sites offer personalized children’s books without the photos. These books weave the child’s name and other personal information into the story, and they offer many different stories to chose from. www.dhchildrensbooks.com

For book lovers

The difficult thing about book lovers is that you never know what book to buy them! So forget the books, and go for personalized bookplates or a photo bookmark.
