When it comes to choosing a present for your husband (be it his birthday, Christmas, Valentine’s Day or your wedding anniversary), a personalised gift can be the perfect balance of thoughtfulness, love and individuality. Personalising a gift gives you the chance to tailor it specifically to your husband’s tastes or interests, showing that you’ve put effort into creating something just for him. But finding the right words or phrases to customise it with isn’t always easy. To help you along, we’ve pulled together some personalisation inspiration for husbands, including easy ideas you can borrow from previous Create Gift Love customers, and prompts to help if you’re lost for words.
In this article, we’ll explore popular text ideas for personalising gifts for husbands, from simple date or name engravings to heartfelt messages and special coordinates, helping you choose the perfect words for your partner’s gift.
10 Personalised Message Ideas for Husbands from Real Create Gift Love Customers
Let’s get started with some popular text ideas for husbands from genuine Create Gift Love orders. Here are 10 of our favourite ideas for husbands, covering occasions including anniversaries, Valentine’s Day and family milestones.
1. “Spending my life with you is the best decision I ever made xx”
Your anniversary is often a time to look back fondly on your wedding day, the commitment you both made, and the life you’ve built together since. A message like this one tells your husband that you wouldn’t change a thing, that you’d choose a life with him again and again: for when a simple “happy anniversary” doesn’t quite cut it.
2. “Up to Mars, round the Moon, into Earth…”
“I love you to the moon and back” is one of the most popular personalised messages we see on our gifts, fitting for romantic partners, family relationships and friendships, too. This customer took the idea even further, with love for her husband extending as far as Mars!
3. “3 years down, forever to go [date] x”
You don’t have to wait for anniversaries ending in a zero to make a fuss! Gift messages referencing the specific anniversary you’re celebrating are a great way to mark the lesser-celebrated milestones, especially when the gift itself if linked to the traditional anniversary theme – like this customer’s 3 year message, engraved on a leather keyring to mark their third wedding anniversary.
4. “You are my world. Here’s to the rest of our lives together. I love you!”
We loved engraving this customer’s message to her husband on their wedding day, full of excitement about the future together. This idea works well for the start of any new chapter together, whether it’s a new year, birthday or a just-because present.
5. “Home is a person; for me, it’s you”
This customer asked us to engrave “home is a person; for me, it’s you” onto a keyring for their new home with their husband. We loved the sweet sentiment, reminding us all that home is so much more than the place you live.
6. “Married since [date] ♥”
Using a date as part of your customisation, like the day you met or your wedding date, is a great way to add a personal touch to your gift. Date-themed messages like “the day it all began” or “married since…” work especially well for occasions like your anniversary, nodding to the beginning of your love story.
7. “Drive safe, handsome, come back home to me xxx”
“Drive safe” (or “ride safe” for bikers) is a popular message used on personalised keyrings. If your husband enjoys being on the road, this message will remind him that you’re thinking of him always.
8. “You are my dream come true – [date]”
Is there any higher compliment than being someone’s dream come true? This message would work well as a caption on a photo gift for your husband, especially paired with the date the photo was taken.
9. “Happy 1st Valentine’s Day as my husband, love Mrs [surname] x”
Marking new milestones, like your first Valentine’s Day as a married couple, or the first Christmas together as parents, is a lovely way to add new meaning to old celebrations. We also loved the inclusion of the new married surname on this customer’s Valentine’s Day gift for their husband.
10. “You are our rock, forever and always”
This simple gift message says a lot, showing your husband how important he is not only to you, but to the whole family. Something short but impactful like this is a great way to personalise a gift the recipient can carry with them, like a wallet or keyring, as a daily reminder of how cherished they are.
