Mother's Day is right around the corner again and if your mom is anything like my mom, you're going to need to start planning a good gift early. My mom is the greatest, but she is incredibly hard to shop for. Every year, I'm left scrambling for a unique gift that she'll use and like and doesn't already have. It's no easy feat so I'm starting early this year and what is more unique than something that is personalized and monogrammed? Forget 'World's #1 Mom' mugs and screen-printed sweatshirts and get something really individual and interesting, made even more one-of-a-kind with mom's initials or name included in it. Click on the slideshow for some unique, customized Mother's Day gift ideas and surprise your mother with something she'll love!
It's All About You: Personalized Holiday Gifts

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!
