There are some people out there who love monogramming their name and initials on pretty much everything. Although I do not feel the urge to engrave my name onto all that I own, I have to admit that it does have its appeal. Whatever the reason, personalized gifts are just that -- personal. What was just a "good" gift becomes a great and thoughtful gift with the addition of just a few letters and maybe a short but sweet message. There are a lot of products that now offer the personalization option so stray away from monogrammed lockets and towels that have been done time and time again and find something different! Click on the slideshow to see which items out there can be made that much better by a simple engraving or embroidery!
