Unique Wedding Gifts

It's officially wedding season and that means lots of travel and lots of gifts. If you're like me, you hate getting the same old things and want to make your gift stand out. While it's always safe and encouraged to buy off the registry, below are a few unique and thoughtful gifts for the couple to be. Favorites include Moscow mule mugs with the couple's initials, trays, log carriers (all with name/monogram, of course) and I've given the beautiful custom cutting board twice. You can pick the custom details you want like initials, wedding date and even get it in the shape of a state. I also like things like wine of the month club or plated - what newly married couple doesn't like cooking together and drinking wine??

Hostess Gift Guide 2013

The holiday season is quickly approaching and with it comes lots of parties and hostess gifts. While a bottle of wine is always appreciated, below are a few more creative ideas to tell the hostess thank you. I love the idea of giving a personalized present like an engraved cheese board or a monogrammed tray. I'm also obsessed with that dog on a boat matchbook and the adorable patterned backgammon set from Serena and Lily.

Monogrammed Bedding

How does that old adage go? You can take the girl out of Greenwich....? Okay, I admit it, I am preppy at heart and always will be. No matter how much leather I add to my closet, I will still get weak at the knees over a good monogram. Obviously there are the old trusted traditional looking monograms used on bedding but I'm loving the fresher versions that have been popping up. My credit card can not handle a new set of sheets right now but here's to dreaming for later...

Love love love the red monogram below
