We know it’s early… but Santa’s elves start preparing early, and so do we. Be more elf and shop early this year, because monogrammed gifts take a little longer.
Our fantastic team is already busy embroidering, embossing and laser-etching monogrammed gifts for the holiday season, so it’s not too soon to start working through your gift list. A little planning now leaves more time for the fun part: choosing something that feels just right for each person on your shopping list.
If it isn’t monogrammed, is it really even theirs?
A well-designed monogram shows who you are, or how well you know someone. It’s a luxurious touch that lifts an accessibly priced accessory, turning something useful into something unmistakably theirs.
With so many products, thread colours and font styles to choose from, there’s plenty of room to be creative. Think classic initials, a favourite colour or a design that captures their personality. Personalisation options vary by product, so take a look at the choices available for each gift.
Our Christmas favourites
For stuffing stockings or tucking under the tree, we love monogrammed favourites that will be used throughout the year. This season, we’re going back to basics with new colours and sizes for some of our best-selling products, alongside complementary accessories that make lovely sets.
Little luxuries for everyday life
Our Cotton Handkerchiefs (set of 3) are a classic, useful gift, finished with an embroidered monogram. For the list-maker or stationery lover, a Monogrammed Notepad gives everyday notes a personal touch, with 100 sheets of thick, smooth A5 writing paper.
Personalised travel companions
The leather Islay Vanity Case keeps cosmetics and toiletries organised, with clear windows to make essentials easy to find and a foil-embossed or blind-debossed monogram. The Maida Makeup Pouch is a smaller leather companion for makeup essentials, cards or coins.
For a different kind of everyday carry, the Mini Boat Bag is a small-scale version of our Maine Boat Bag. Made from heavyweight cotton canvas with contrasting trim, it’s a lovely canvas for a monogram.
Thoughtful gifts for hosts and homebodies
For the card-game enthusiast, our Perspex Card Case combines a laser-etched monogram with two decks of playing cards. It’s a gift with plenty of evenings around the table ahead of it.
Perspex Trays bring a personal touch to a bedside table, desk or drinks setting, while Natural Linen Hemstitch Coasters (set of 4) make a thoughtful gift for a generous host. Personalise the coasters with a single letter, an intricate monogram, a house name or a witty phrase.
Our Etched Glass Carafe, complete with a cork lid, is another entertaining favourite. A laser-etched monogram gives the glass a soft, cloudy finish, making it a lovely addition to the table.
