Nothing But Custom: The Best Monogrammed Holiday Gift Ideas of the Season

The search for the perfect gift is always a question of which purchase will feel more tailor-made than most. While many would like you to believe there’s that one right choice for every individual on your list (for him, for her, et cetera), perhaps the less obvious answer is the one that takes the idea of customization to literal new heights—as in something that’s been as carefully selected as it has been thoughtfully monogrammed. In fact, we’d argue that there’s no stronger way to make your mark when it comes to this holiday shopping season, and for that matter, a number of options available made that much better by an added custom element, be it embossed, embroidered, or printed.

Case in point is UMD x Opening Ceremony’s crewneck sweater, which is customizable down to every single thread, and furthermore is suited to that special someone who is in step with the monogram-mania mood in fashion now. Those fortunate enough to find themselves traveling during winter vacation or even just hanging out at home can put their best foot forward with a custom designed loafer from It-shoe brand Dorateymur or a monogrammed letter on a cozy pair of shearling clog slippers from Land’s End. And no matter where the destination, or who is on the receiving end, you can’t go wrong with a classic silk pajama top from Morgan Lane. Talk about wearing your heart—and your style—on your sleeve!
