Wedding Gift Idea

Well, wedding season is here! That means scrolling through the registry, trying to find the "perfect gift." What if it's someone special to you or you want to do a special gift not on the registry? Well, why not monogrammed towels? This is such a beautiful gift that is rarely given to the happy couple. Here are a few options:

Stores like Home Goods, TJ Maxx, Marshalls, etc. have great deals on towels. It may be tricky to find the right color, but may be worth it to travel to a few stores to get the good deal. :) A customer contacted me and wanted to have towels done for her brother's wedding--2 bath towels and 4 hand towels. So, off I went to shop and found a great deal at Home Goods--$42 (before tax) for all 6 towels! And they were really thick and good quality. Add the monogram for each towel and that's only $94! Again, if you aren't looking to spend that much, you could always do just hand towels or two bath towels. I think the bath towels were about $8 and the hand towels about $6.

Here is a picture of how they turned out:



If you want to go with a little higher quality towel, Pottery Barn has great towels. 650 gram weight: $7/ hand towel and $14/ bath towel. They are so thick and monogram really well too. Here are a few I did for a customer:



So, if you have a wedding to go to this summer, don't feel confined to the registry. Get creative! A monogram can be put on almost anything...




And.....we're back!

So sorry for the delay....Lots of excitement going on around here! About the time of my last post, I found out I was expecting our first child. We are SO very excited! However, the first trimester left a lot to be desired. I was so very nauseated and tired. I barely had the energy to cook and clean. Unfortunately my monogramming machine got very little use during those first few months. Now that I'm in my 2nd trimester, the energy has definitely returned and I'm definitely staying busy! I'm in the process of one very large order (for me and my one machine, anyway) and have two orders in the queue! I'm so very lucky and blessed!


I promise to post regularly and with fun gift and monogramming ideas!


Stay tuned!
