For many, our first introduction to the concept of personalised goods was when our parents would stitch labels into the backs of our school uniforms to stop expensive blazers and ties from getting muddled up with our classmates. These little hand-sewn monograms had an entirely practical purpose, rather than a stylistic one.
However, as we get older, we begin to understand the luxurious benefits of monogrammed and personalised accessories.
Often realised in gold leaf-adorned embossed text, hand-stamped onto opulent leather goods, personalisation adds a unique touch to high-end gifts that are bound to be cherished forever.
“What’s the point of personalising heirloom accessories?” we hear you ask. Passing down monogrammed luggage or engraved jewellery allows friends and loved ones to carry a little reminder of you wherever they go. Some gift recipients would delight even further in a personalised gift which holds the name of someone special, rather than their own.
From luxury handbags and travel accessories to sumptuous home goods like candles, bathrobes and even pillowcases, there’s something rather regal about personalisation when it’s done correctly.
That said, there is a fine line between tacky and opulent when it comes to personalised presents, and we’re here to instruct you on just how to achieve the pinnacle of luxury gifting without getting it miserably wrong.
Whether you’re planning for a birthday, anniversary, the festive season or any other occasion under the sun, we’ve curated a selection of the best personalised gifts that are sure to delight. Keep scrolling for everything from journals and writing instruments to fashionable accessories and more.
