The best personalized holiday gifts aren’t ones you can pick off a shelf—they’re the kind that hold meaning, last for years, and feel truly unique. Instead of another sweater or candle, imagine giving your loved ones a living archive of memories, recipes, or stories.
With Squarespace templates, it’s easy to transform cherished moments into stunning digital websites, like family photo albums, digital memory boxes, or online recipe books. Squarespace isn’t just for business owners, but for anyone who wants to create something personal.

Why a website makes a great personalized holiday gift
If you feel like you’ve already gone through all the obvious sentimental gift ideas for friends and family members, you almost certainly haven’t given them a website yet. It’s an expected, unique, and personalized gift that can be shared with the whole family or turned into a shared experience.
You could create a digital memory box for your grandparents to view, and the entire family can upload old and new relics. Since Squarespace is so user-friendly, a simple walkthrough for the relatives is all they should need.
Squarespace website gift ideas
Now that you think giving a website as a gift is as cool as we do, let’s share some inspo. You could start by looking at the wide range of Squarespace templates available and see where inspiration strikes, or see our ideas below:
Online scrapbook
Brower is a blog template that allows you to feature photos in this scrapbook-like style.
Junk journaling (aka, scrapbooking) is a major online trend, and if you know someone who’s been itching to start their own, an online version may be the perfect gift. With less pressure to gather physical materials, they can simply upload photos, videos, and notes and rearrange them as many times as they want in this digital format.
Digital memory box
Matsuya is a portfolio and photography template to showcase scraps and bits of life, just like a real memory box.
Most of us have a box full of movie stubs, birthday cards, and trinkets we’ll never part with. Then there’s the added layer of our cell phone’s camera roll full of photos and videos. Why not create a real space for everything to live together? Design a website with Squarespace that your giftee can drop scans of their real-life and digital relics into, all beautifully organized.
Family photo album website
Fillmore is a photography template to feature photos with dates, titles, and captions for easy sharing.
Not everyone uses Facebook and Instagram, so creating a family website where everyone can share photos may be the most personalized holiday gift you’ve given yet. Family members can upload vacation pictures, newborn photoshoots, or adorable puppy videos to the Squarespace photo gallery, create collections, add dates, and even write details of the event.
Make a recipe book online
Stanton is a food and portfolio template to feature your recipes.
Turn your friends’ or your family’s favorite dishes into a gorgeous online recipe book. Upload them yourself, or allow everyone to contribute. Squarespace makes it easy to organize the website by recipe type—or you might want to give each person their own space. The builder’s tools also allow for adding step-by-step instructions and embedding video tutorials.
Is there a Squarespace free trial?
Yes—you can try Squarespace for 14 days before paying, but your features are a bit limited. After the trial period, you can choose from several paid plans to meet your needs.
Make personalized holiday gifts with Squarespace
No one expects to unwrap an entire website, and that’s what makes it unforgettable. A Squarespace site is a living gift: something everyone can contribute to and keep adding to throughout the year. Create memories that last with personalized holiday gifts built beautifully on Squarespace.
