It used to be that you could only monogram things like towels or robes. Then the market opened up a bit and we began to see custom-painted vanity plates, door knockers, doormats and such. Now there are lots of different items that can be monogrammed and customized for anyone.
Customized gifts are a unique gift idea [4] and a great creative gift giving idea [5].
Custom Gift Ideas
So what are some of the interesting gifts that can be monogrammed for the holidays?
- Wine Cork Holder [6]: Purchase a wine cork holder in the form of someone’s first letter of their last name, and over the years they can fill it in with wine corks.
- Kids’ Apron [7]: This would be a great gift for a little helper in the kitchen. And if the child is not currently a little helper, I can’t think of a better way to get them excited than to give them a personalized apron.
- Black Stainless Steel Business Card Holder [8]: I purchased myself a metal business card holder several years ago and absolutely love it. Not only does it look great, but it also is much easier to find in my bottomless pit of a purse.
- Vanity License Plate [9]: You can choose from a variety of license plate styles that are ready to be personalized with a monogram.
- Steak Branding Iron [10]: Do you know someone who loves to grill (and specifically grill steaks)? If so, getting a branding iron monogrammed with their initials would make a really special gift.
- Pet Bowl [11]: Most people are in love with their pets (our two kitties make our house a home!). A great gift to give a pet owner is to personalize a pet food or water bowl with a monogram of their pet’s name.
- Decal for a Vehicle [12]: These are some classy-looking decals you can get personalized with the monograms of the person you are buying a gift for. They also have those family monogrammed decals you see on the back of vehicles.
- Guitar Pick [13]: How neat to present someone who plays guitar with an engraved guitar pick!
