Top 5 Custom Gift Trends in Southeast Asia 2025

Personalized gifts are more than a trend—they’re becoming the new standard for meaningful giving. In 2025, Southeast Asia is seeing a surge in creative custom gift ideas, thanks to the rise of 3D modeling, 3D printing, and a growing appetite for uniqueness. Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, wedding, anniversary, or just want to show someone you care, a custom gift offers a memorable way to say it.

If you’re based in Malaysia or Singapore, here are the top 5 custom gift trends you need to know about in 2025.

1. Custom Figurines That Look Just Like You

Forget generic gifts—custom figurines made from 3D modeling and printing are taking over the gifting scene. These aren’t just cute toys; they’re miniature versions of real people, stylized with unique outfits, accessories, and even personalized poses.

Whether it’s a couple figurine for a wedding gift, a superhero version of your best friend, or a chibi-style figurine of your family, these one-of-a-kind gifts are gaining popularity in both Malaysia and Singapore. Check out our Custom Figure gallery to see what’s possible.

2. Fully Personalized Desk Decor

People are spending more time at home or in personalized workspaces—and that’s fueling demand for 3D-printed custom desk decor. These gifts range from:

Personalized Name Stands

Made from durable resin or PLA materials, name stands come in creative fonts, character themes, or even glow-in-the-dark options.

Mini Desk Sculptures

Want to impress your boss, colleague, or mentor? Commission a mini sculpture of them doing what they love—surfing, coding, playing guitar—anything is possible with 3D design!

3. Couple & Friendship-Themed Gift Sets

Another strong custom gift trend in Southeast Asia this year is themed gift sets for couples and best friends. These sets often include:

  • Matching figurines or busts

  • Personalized base stands with names or quotes

  • Optional custom packaging with heartfelt messages

These are incredibly popular around Valentine’s Day, Christmas, and anniversaries, especially among Gen Z and young adults in urban areas.

4. Pop Culture-Inspired Custom Figures

In 2025, gifting has collided with fandom. Anime lovers, gamers, movie buffs, and K-pop fans are ordering custom figures inspired by their favorite characters—but with their own face or twist!

Think yourself as a Pokémon trainer or styled like your favorite anime hero. These hybrid designs are often made using 3D modeling software to merge personal traits with pop culture aesthetics.

Sustainability matters, especially to younger consumers. In 2025, many custom gift buyers in Southeast Asia are asking for:

  • Biodegradable materials

  • Recyclable packaging

  • Low-waste production processes

Our company is committed to offering PLA-based eco-friendly options for most of our 3D-printed products, so you can gift beautifully and responsibly.
