Forget monogrammed towels. There are so many more interesting home items to put your initials on. Think: Wine coolers, candle holders and more!We've all seen monogrammed towels and monogrammed coasters. But we figured there had to be more to personalize than terrycloth and cork, so we compiled monogramming ideas that you might want to consider next time a wedding invitation finds its way to your mailbox.
So often monogramming is monotone -- whether it's the engraving or in the embroidery. So you can understand our obsession with La Plates. The vivid colors, varied lettering and eye-popping patterns give you endless options for personalization. La Plates, $22 each, will brighten up any kitchen -- or dinner party. The melamine plates are great for outdoor use too. Bring on the barbecues!
This next monogramming idea is one you'll want to keep for yourself! Ralph Lauren's super soft, cashmere fringe throw, $495, is the ultimate cozy accessory for any bedroom. And thanks to a ton of color options, this is one you can get away with giving again and again. True, the price tag is high but if you're looking to splurge, this is a real keepsake.
Here's one for the dining room. We like this Williams-Sonoma stainless steel wine cooler, $65. It makes the perfect gift for your vino-loving friends. The sleek finish and personalized lettering looks elegant in any dining space.
For a fresh -- and clean -- bathroom monogramming idea, why not order some soap? We like Carved Solutions bar soaps. (And so does Oprah!) You can buy individual bars, $15, or box sets of three or six, $30-$45, and choose your font. This is a great housewarming or hostess gift.
Any living space can be instantly warmed with candles. So here's a monogramming idea for your living room, family room or den: Candles! But instead of choosing an engraved wax candle, we decided on these Pottery Barn candle pots, $19-24, so your lovely monogramming doesn't melt away.
