A personalised necklace or bracelet with her name, birthstone or a few words from you is one of the most loved Christmas gifts for a daughter, because it is something she opens once and keeps for years. The trick is matching the piece to her age and the season of life she is in.

Christmas morning goes fast. Most presents are played with, worn out or replaced by next year. A piece with her name on it is the one she is still wearing in February, and the one she might pass down one day.

What should you give a little girl for Christmas?

Young girls love colour, sparkle and seeing their own name. Look for a playful shape she will be excited to show her friends.

• The Unicorn Birthstone Name Necklace, engraved with her name and set with her birthstone.
• A Personalised Wooden Musical Jewellery Box with her name on the lid and a little ballerina inside that dances to Swan Lake, so her first jewellery has a home.
• A small name necklace she can grow into.

Belle Fever's pieces are hypoallergenic and nickel-free, which is good to know when it is her very first necklace.

What do teenage daughters actually want?

Teenagers want something that looks like her style, not something chosen for a little girl. Keep it simple and wearable.

• A Personalised Name Necklace in the tone she already wears, silver, gold or rose gold.
• The She Believed She Could Inspirational Bangle for a year of exams, sport or a big change.
• Her initial or a small word that means something to her, kept discreet.

Not sure of her taste? Look at what she wears every day and match the colour. A teen who loves gold will wear a gold piece; a silver one may sit in the drawer.

What do you give a grown daughter for Christmas?

Grown daughters often treasure pieces that tie them back to family. This is where words and matching pieces come into their own.

• The Moon and Back Necklace, with "I love you to the moon & back" on the crescent and her name on the disc.
• The Puzzle Heart Necklace Set for mum and daughter, or for every sister in the family, each piece engraved with a name.
• For a daughter who is now a mum, a family necklace with her children's names.

How can dads make Christmas special for their daughter?

Dads often want something they can share. The Father & Daughter Stolen Heart Dog Tag is a two-piece set: she wears the heart, he keeps the tag it fits into, and each can be engraved with names, a date or a short message. Wearable as a necklace or a keyring, it suits dads who don't usually wear jewellery.

How do you make the gift feel personal on Christmas morning?

• Add a note. A few lines explaining why you chose those words turns a gift into a keepsake.
• Choose the engraving with her in mind. A nickname or inside joke will mean more than a formal phrase.
• Order early. Give yourself plenty of room before the big day, and check the Christmas order dates on our site before you choose.
