The align-self property, or selfish alignment

The arrangement of items along the main axis using justify-content is set for the entire flex container, and it is equally applied to all flex items. There is no individual-item equivalent of justify-content. This property distributes the group as a whole.

Everything is even simpler with the cross axis. You can assign each item a different alignment along the cross axis. To do this, you can use the align-self property, which is assigned for the flex items themselves and not for the flex container.

You can use the same alignment values with align-self as with align-items.
