Personalised Gift Trends for 2025: What’s Hot, Weird, and Hilarious

Personalised gifts are no longer just mugs with your name on them. In 2025, the trend is shifting toward hyper-specific, weirdly accurate, and genuinely funny presents — the kind that feel like they were made just for the person receiving them.

Here’s what’s trending this year:

1. AI-Generated Chaos

From deepfake celebrity birthday messages to AI-written poetry, AI is driving a new wave of gifts that feel strangely human. The best part? You can now create something totally unique with just a few prompts — like a roast book based entirely on your best friend’s bad habits.

2. Humour Beats Sentiment

People are ditching sentimental gifts for ones that get a genuine laugh. Whether it’s a fake award for “Most Dramatic Person Alive” or a candle named “Smells Like Regret,” funny gifts are becoming the go-to for birthdays, breakups, and weddings alike.

3. The Rise of Niche Gifting

The more specific, the better. Generic presents are out — oddly specific gifts based on shared jokes, weird memories, or oddly accurate traits are in. If it wouldn’t make sense to anyone else, it’s probably perfect.

4. Emotion, But Make It Unhinged

Modern personalised gifts are tapping into shared experiences and emotional moments — but through humour. Think journals for oversharers, “starter packs” for chaotic friends, or illustrated roast books based on your friend's worst qualities (guilty).

5. Custom Roast Book: Built for 2025

It’s AI-powered. It’s deeply personal. It’s funny in a way that makes people cry a little. Custom Roast Book sits right at the intersection of every 2025 gifting trend — and it’s probably the only gift that’ll get framed and held against you for years.
