Make It Personal
Consider this an off-season gift guide
What’s better than receiving a gift that feels personal and chosen specially for you? Being the one to give it? Either way, a monogrammed route is always a thoughtful way to go, but here we aim for something slightly more original than a personalized Le Labo candle (said with zero hate, really).
Maybe you’re looking to treat yourself to celebrate a recent work accomplishment, or you’re on the hunt for something to forward to your significant other…whatever it is, these suggestions should have you covered. Thoughtful hostess gifts, baby gifts, bridesmaids gifts, etc.

Starting with my personal ;) favorite of the list, this charm necklace. Made from 14k gold and totally customizable with the charms of your choice.
I chose to keep things simple with just a gothic W and a textured garnet charm (Max’s and my birthstone).
I also love the number charms and pear pendants. Other favorites: the base chain necklace for a slightly chunkier feel, and the chain bracelet, both in 14k gold. Mejuri’s pieces all play well together for a layered look, so you can really create a one-of-a-kind feel.
One of my favorite gifts we’ve received is this embroidered boudoir pillow, that I will treasure forever. Perfect for a new baby, or embroidered with the last name of newlyweds.
Another super sweet baby gift, an engraved silver brush.
And an adult version in a practical travel size for on the go.
Or a lip compact embossed with the recipients initials. I gifted these to friends at my bachelorette a few years back, and still stand by them.
A guaranteed favorite, a handmade ceramic mug, personalized with your pets portrait. I believe Kayla is opening up commissions again sometime this week. She sells out FAST, so be sure to keep an eye on her Instagram for updates. It takes a minute to ship out considering all the detail that goes into it, but this one is worth planning ahead for.
Our personalized stationary is from Mount Street Printers, and I reach for it more than I expected to. It’s a great way to make thank you notes feel a little more personal, and it serves as a practical gift.
This pewter box to hold jewelry, desk accessories or other little trinkets, makes for a perfect bridal shower gift.
A photo album beautiful enough to leave out on your coffee table. Handcrafted by artisans in Brazil, the albums are fully customizable, from the colors to the text. The personalized leather boxes also make for a beautiful gift.
A fresh pair of pajamas are always a nice treat, and I love the red piping on these. They’re available for the whole family, which I never thought would be my vibe, but I guess now is. If you’re looking for an even more luxurious option, these pajamas in burgundy silk are dreamy.
You know I couldn’t resist including something Flamingo Estate, and they recently launched their personalized bottles of heritage olive oil, complete with a handwritten label. A cheeky hostess gift!
Or perhaps a hand embroidered bottle apron. Also from Gohar, their sold out personalized host gloves will be back in stock soon, and I might just need to get them for pretty much everyone in my life.
When in doubt ~make it personal~. And! Be sure to revisit this for the next time you need something special.
