12 Days of Gift Guides - Day 1: Personalized Gifts

On the first day of GIFT GUIDES, Jenny gave to me……..a list of things all MONOGRAM-Y!

Whether you’re living in the south, appreciate a preppy lifestyle or simply have a big family, these personalized gifts are sure to please anyone on your shopping list! With supply chain shortages and expected holiday orders, many companies are setting deadlines the first week of November to ensure their arrival by Christmas. Shop soon, shop yesterday, from my personalized gift list.

1. Stoney Clover Bags - One of my all-time favorite brands due to their high quality bags and variety of color options and patches! After touring their new Nashville store, I listed my top used Stoney Clover bags on an Instagram post. If you’re on a budget, get a mini. If you’re splurging, get the large duffle. Everyone can use the large classic pouch. Delivery time for these is roughly three weeks. Free shipping on orders over $250.

2. Bauble Bar Stackable Bracelets - The Pisa bracelets are Bauble Bar’s most notable pieces. I have a gold stack with all of my kids names as well as a more colorful stack for spring and summer. New Disney and sports teams charms make these jewelry items truly personable. (Order by 11/13 for Christmas. Pick any 2 custom gifts and take 20% off with code HURRY.)

3. Custom House Drawing - Etsy shop, I Love Coloring, creates beautiful digital prints of your favorite home. I love this idea for childhood homes, first homes and for realtor gifts.

4. Signature Bracelets - Caitlyn Minimalist on Etsy creates signature bracelets from actual handwriting. Gift a child’s signature to a grandmother or honor a person who has passed by gifting their signature on a bracelet to their loved on.

5. Canvas and Leather Men’s Messenger Briefcase - Vintage inspired with a modern twist, this bag has a 15” padded laptop sleeve and plenty of pockets to organize work or school essentials. Mark & Graham offers sale codes. Check on their site for all things monogram!

6. Bermuda Bag - I had these bags when I was a little girl and their vintage-inspired style is back for adults. Add a monogram with a personal touch.

7. Zip Front Carry-On Suitcase - One of Mark & Graham’s most popular gifts due to the zip front compartment that allows for easy laptop access. The Terminal !’s other features include 360 degrees spinning wheels, two compartments with zippered compression, light weight and a 10 year warranty.


8. Bauble Bar Custom Phone Cases - This handmade case features up to 12 characters so you can personalize however you'd like, from meaningful initials to your favorite acronym. Our one-of-a-kind designs feature raised acrylic letters for a fun 3D effect. These are very popular with teen and college girls.

9. Letterfolk Tile Mat - A timeless, vintage-inspired mat with hexagon tiles that can be used to create endless patterns, designs and words.

10. Packing Cube Set - Designed to help you maximize space, these soft monogrammed packing cubes will keep your clothes neatly organized and compressed so you can fit more in your suitcase. Embroidered monogram.

11. Cosmetic Case - Coordinated to pair with the Terminal 1 suitcase above, this train case is small enough to fit into a larger suitcase but spacious enough for all of your makeup. Zip around closure and internal pockets.

12. Custom Family Portrait - As seen on PopSugar, these portrait prints can be used as art work for your home, birth announcements, housewarming gifts or wedding invitations. Turnaround time for Christmas can be 3-6 weeks. Order now!

13. Face Portrait Cookie Cutters - Just in time for Christmas, your loved one’s photo as a cookie cutter!

14. Custom Pet Portrait - Honor your favorite, furry friend by turning them into a work of art! These digital hand painting are unique conversation pieces for the animal lover on your list.

15. Custom prayer candle - A humorous gift and one of a kind gift for the person on your list who likes to laugh!

16. Pottery Barn Kids Jewelry Boxes - I got these for each of my daughters last year and they love them. They keep jewelry, treasures and special trinkets inside.

17. Travel Jewelry Cases - This is the perfect accessory for organizing your favorite jewelry while you travel. Made from high-quality vegan leather with a soft linen lining, the case is designed with plenty of storage including a removable double-sided pouch for bracelets and earrings, tabs for rings and stud earrings and looped clips so that necklaces won’t get tangled.
