Calendars have long been traditional Christmas gifts to hand over at the festive season as we wind down from one year and start making plans to celebrate the onset of the new one. The arrival of the Advent Calendar in the nineteenth century marked the beginning of a new tradition of counting down the days until Christmas. And is now perhaps the only time of year when parents will allow their children to 'open the little windows' and eat a chocolate before breakfast. But Advent calendars are only really fun for one month in the year, which is perhaps why we turn to those more 'popular' calendars for the rest of the time.

You only need to walk around the high street in the run up to Christmas. Which is roughly around July these days, to see which popstars and footballers are glamorously poised for the camera in the vain hope that we might buy them as Christmas gifts, take them home with us and worship them for the next twelve months. These commercial calendars cover almost every sport and celebrity going, even those loyal Cliff-'Mistletoe and Wine'-Richard fans will never be disappointed. And what's wrong with that?

Well...it's just not very Christmassy is it? Surely we can do better when Christmas gift shopping?

Perhaps you've often wondered what it might feel like to be observed in such a manner, or perhaps your partner has always dreamed of being famous enough for someone to want to buy a calendar of them? Well, making this happen is probably not quite as bizarre as you might think Santa really does make dreams come true. It's an original Christmas gift idea that combines the intimate with the professional to give you something much more unique, and something that can be treasured for a long time to come a personalised calendar!

We're not talking about twelve saucy photographs of your loved one draped over the bonnet of an expensive car, (though you could always make this a reality too if you invest in a Christmas gift Ferrari/Lamborghini Thrill experience day!), but by simply selecting from a variety of calendars such as the 'For Her', 'Footballing Legends' or even 'Superdad'; and providing up to two full names, the calendar will be tailored to your requests with the names cleverly integrated into a series of colour images.

The pictures vary for each occasion or calendar and the creative images will put a smile on anyone's face when they see their name in wonderful places; such as being partly the subject of a topiary masterpiece, or even spelled out in the stars. Depending on how honest you want to be, it will appear as though you have literally moved the stars in their honour to create a working calendar where every image can be saved as a keepsake. Christmas gifts don't come much more any more original, or personal than that.

They make a great gift for any occasion but as Christmas approaches and we reflect on how lucky we are, then it makes sense to celebrate the people we love the mostplus it might earn you an extra roast potato on Christmas Day. As calendars are traditional Christmas Gifts, you can even place these personalised items safely under the tree without anyone guessing what they are they come in a sturdy gift box which can be wrapped with the other presents, and pat yourself on the back for thinking of something that is not only original, but is a Christmas gift that should keep your loved ones happy for a whole year.

But don't just stop at personalised calendar gifts, there's an almost endless list of ways in which you can remind that certain someone just how special and unique they are. From personalised Champagne bottles, personalised mugs, engraved gifts to even the slightly more unusual (but equally brilliant) items such as personalised door mats or even a personalised apron these intimate Christmas gifts are a great way of ensuring that you're giving something truly unique.

Christmas is meant to be a time of giving and even if no one truly believes that you made the stars move or have a secret talent for topiary, then you can at least prove that you're a real romantic at heart and make someone's Christmas wish come true. If registering your loved one's name with the Intergalactic Star Database isn't a big enough gesture, then how about a personalised Hollywood Walk of Fame Star? Taking the term 'star of wonder' to its absolute max, these Christmas gifts are a sure way of giving someone a very Merry Christmas indeed.
