Personalized Jewelry

Just about all women love jewelry so what could be better than a personalized bracelet or engraved locket that holds a picture of auntie with her niece and/or nephew! Online you can find all kinds of unique bracelet designs featuring toggles, bangles and more. Add a heart-shaped or round charm engraved with her monogram or initials and you'll have a gift that she will love wearing!

Personalized Key Chains or Other Keepsake

Is your aunt the type that is always losing her keys? Well a fashionable wrist key holder that is embroidered with her initial just might be the answer. Or if she is a bit more of the upscale type, consider a silver-plated key chain that is personalized with her monogram. You can find oval, round, and heart-shaped personalized keychain bridesmaid gift (which is also perfect for aunts) at many online retailers.

Personalized Tote Bags

I don't know about you, but I am always toting around a bag full of stuff....to work, to the gym, and of course, to the beach. My tote isn't all that fashionable so if my nieces and nephews got me a personalized tote bag that had my initials or monogram embroidered on it, I would be over the moon. These days, you can find insulated lunch coolers, laptop bags, beach totes and more that can be personalized with your aunt's name as well.

Personalized Glassware - Mugs - Tumblers

Whether your aunt is a fitness fanatic or a tree hugger, she'll love getting a reusable aluminum water bottle that features her name, monogram, or a saying like "One Cool Aunt". Besides water bottles, you can find a plethora of personalized glassware including wine glasses, coffee mugs, and drink tumblers.

Chocolate, Chocolate, and more Chocolate!

If your aunt happens to be a certified chocoholic like me, then you can't go wrong with a Godiva Christmas gift like the chocolate gift basket shown that is overflowing with all things chocolate.

Another fun, less expensive alternative for the kids to make themselves would be to bake up a pan of brownies. Then use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut them out and put them in a gift bag or tin for auntie. The kids can make a fun card covered in hearts too.
