Thoughtful Birthday Gift Ideas for Every Age

Each decade of life merits its own distinctive acknowledgement. From a 10th to a 90th birthday, we've curated milestone gifts that honour every chapter—a gentle reminder that ageing is really just collecting stories. Celebrating someone turning 18? Our 'Omg I'm An Adult' 18th Birthday Beer Tankard is a perfect nod to their first legal pint and marks the shift into adulthood with four incredible beer or cider choices.

When it comes to those major milestone birthdays, we understand how vital it is to celebrate the event with something very special. Our Personalised Birth Year Retro Game Font Men's Sweatshirt Jumper takes birthday gifting to the next level by transporting the wearer right back to their favourite era of childhood computer gaming.

This dose of nostalgia comes in three vibrant colour combos and bears the most authentic '80s gaming font imaginable. It's perfect for anyone celebrating a 30th or 40th birthday (or really, anyone who fondly remembers gaming in that glorious bygone era!).

Marking a 40th? Explore our 40th Birthday Gift collection that's designed to reflect the meaning and personality of this special decade. Personalised 40th Birthday Gift Ideas.

Commemorate the big 5-0 by turning the year they were born into wearable history with a 50th Birthday 1975 Penny Bangle. This stunning bracelet is beautifully presented in an Ellie Ellie branded gift box and features an actual penny from their birth year that's lovingly handcrafted into a timeless piece they can treasure forever.

Personalised Birthday Presents: A Special Touch

Custom birthday gifts always have a unique story to tell. At least that's how it's been since 2011, when I founded Ellie Ellie after noticing the shortage of personalised gifts on the UK market. Today, my team and I hand-craft and dispatch all gifts from our Sussex workshop. As it happens, this isn't far from where I grew up!

At Ellie Ellie, we believe that receiving something made for you is truly magical. And when it comes to birthday celebrations, there's nothing better than a personalised gift. So, when it comes to choosing the perfect present, why not go the extra mile and make it a truly special occasion with a gift that's made just for them? Our extensive range of Personalised Birthday Gifts ensures that every celebration becomes a treasured memory that is crafted specifically for your loved one.


Birthstone Gift Collection

A collection of birthstones is one of the most treasured and traditional ways of celebrating a birthday. It's an ancient practice to give someone a gem that corresponds to their birth month, and our Gold Plated Heart Birthstone Necklace card is a fine representation of these traditional gifts. This particular present is made even more special by using a gold heart to convey a sentiment of eternal love.

Each necklace is available in all twelve types of birthstones—right from January's Garnet in a deep red to the striking October Opal, and the Turquoise of December. Throw in the varieties of stones in between, and it's easy to see why these gifts always meet the mark!

Each birthstone gift we offer contains a unique blend of natural and lab-created gemstones that are both extraordinarily beautiful and perfectly durable. Each stone in this collection is set in either sterling silver or gold plating—your choice!

At Ellie Ellie, we're proud to be part of your present-presenting journey. We aim to assist you in fashioning the kinds of memories that draw loved ones together in all of life's significant moments. We appreciate your support of our petite creative business, and we're grateful to be a small part in making that next birthday celebration one for the books.
