Father's Day Gift on a Budget

A great way to tell Dad you love him is to give him a personalized gift. It's thoughtful and personal.

Monogrammed handkerchiefs are a great way to show him you really care, you're thinking about him and that you appreciate all that he has done for you.

I offer a set of men's satin banded handkerchiefs that I monogram according to your instructions with your thread color choice. You can buy 3 or more and receive a 20% discount. You receive a free gift box with each set so buy as many sets as you need.

A set of 3 men's monogrammed handkerchiefs are $12 and shipping via USPS Priority Mail usually runs from $4.95 to around $5.75. All total you can spend less than $20 on a gift that will mean a great deal to dad.

The handkerchiefs can be monogrammed with First name initial, Last name initial and Middle name initial with the Last name initial being the larger and centered as in "FLM." This way is traditional.

Or you can have them monogrammed in order "FML" and all the same size. You can have a 2 initial monogram "FL." You can even have his name or nick name put on the handkerchief.

All 3 in the set must have the same thing embroidered (same initials or name) to receive the discount but colors can vary. You can select black, silver, or green for the three hankies' colors.

I look forward to creating your next great gift!

Call me if you need to 770-574-3685.

Monogram Showers

I've gotten more requests for monogrammed items for people attending "monogram showers" for the Bride. What a great way for the new bride to fill her home with personalized items that are complementary to her decor.

Linen guest towels, linen accent pillows for the bed or a chair in the bedroom, and linen dinner napkins are just a few popular items to mention. I was watching an episode of "Rate My Space" on HGTV and noticed that in a French Inspired Bathroom, http://www.hgtv.com/rate-my-space/french-inspired-bathroom/index.html the designer, Angelo Surmelis placed towels with the couples last name monogrammed in the bathroom as well as two more sets on each side of the vanity, one with the husband's first name initial and the other with the wife's first name initial monogrammed on the towels.

In my own bath, which is the background for some of my towel images, I have used the full monogram for a couple, my first name initial, our last name initial (larger) and his first name initial. I love this more traditional form of monogram but I love the single letter monograms equally! Here is the link to my website with the monogram towels http://www.southerncharmstitches.com/. The front page has mostly images of the embroidered cherry blossom and pineapple designs. This link http://southerncharmstitches.com/catalog.php?item=18&catid=5&ret=catalog.php%3Fcategory%3D5 takes you to the monogrammed guest towels.

What are some of the gifts you've received, given or have seen at these Monogram Showers?

I would love to here from you!

Sincerely,

Stephanie

Wedding Keepsake for the Bride and Groom

Wedding Keepsakes for the Bride and Groom is a great way to commemorate that wonderful day.

Here is an example of a Bride's personalized handkerchief. http://southerncharmstitches.com/catalog.php?item=4&catid=12&ret=catalog.php%3Fcategory%3D12 The handkerchief can be put away with other items of the day in a shadow box or it's the perfect size to be added to a regular picture frame with the save the date card, newspaper announcement, invitation and a beautiful shot of the bride and groom.

The Groom's handkerchief can be added as well. http://southerncharmstitches.com/catalog.php?item=5&catid=12&ret=catalog.php%3Fcategory%3D12 is an example of a traditional monogram for a gentleman. Why not have a shadow box or regular picture frame just for him as well, each can hang side by side in their bedroom.

Maybe you can find a creative way to add the handkerchief to a scrapbook page for the wedding. If anyone has thought of this and has done it successfully let me know.

Anyone else have any ideas on how to display such a great keepsake let me know.
