SA (ARA) - Ah, the monogram - is there any more definitive statement of personalization and ownership - not to mention class - than the artistic rendering of one's name or initials on a gift? Truly, a monogram can elevate the most mundane gift to a sublime level of personalization.
Monograms have traditionally been used to personalize towels, linens, robes or dress shirts, but today it's possible to put a person's name on virtually anything. In fact, some popular holiday gifts are getting a personalized spin this season.
Online purchasing at Web sites like www.seventhavenue.com is probably the easiest way to get an item personalized with the recipient's name. From traditional linens to children's furniture, the range of personalized items available online is almost as vast as the Internet itself. Here are three popular holiday gift categories that now offer some fun and impressive options for personalized gifts.
Home decor
A personalized home decor gift can be elegant, nostalgic or just plain fun, depending on the personality of the person you're giving to. Is your recipient a homebody? She might appreciate the chance to wrap up in a plush, personalized throw on a chilly winter night.
Shopping for a cooking fan? A personalized wall decoration declaring the ownership of the kitchen might be a fun option. Or, go with a crock of cutlery and cooking utensils bearing the name of the kitchen's "top chef." For the pet lover in your life, consider a welcome mat personalized with the pet's "paw prints" and name, or a picture frame adorned with the furry friend's name.
Finally, for the friend who loves to get holiday-themed gifts, consider stockings, ornaments, decorations or even a tree skirt emblazoned with the recipient's name.
Jewelry
It's been said a gift of jewelry is always welcome. Instead of giving her (or him) yet another watch this year, or going with the crowd and giving the "in" item of the season, why not make a jewelry gift truly unique by having it personalized? You can put the recipient's name on virtually any piece of jewelry, from a pendant to a charm bracelet. Or, personalize the gift by choosing colored stones that represent the recipient's birth date or the birth months of his or her children.
You can opt for monogrammed or personalized jewelry in virtually every metal, from silver to platinum, in pieces ranging from pendants and rings to bracelets and even toe rings. For a real splash, opt for traditional name pendants in frolicking script or watches with the recipient's name imprinted on the face beneath the crystal.
Children's furniture
Few gifts make a youngster feel like a grown-up as much as a piece of personalized furniture. Tots love furniture made for someone their size, and adding the child's name to it further enhances the piece's appeal. Table and chair sets, bed headboards, rocking chairs and even toys like miniature basketball hoops - all can be personalized with the child's name. And, putting a little one's name on a beloved item can help encourage the child to learn to recognize and read her own name. For more personalized gift ideas, log on to www.seventhavenue.com.
