Today, I wanted to chat about why I love gifting monogrammed goods at the holidays. I find that when a gift has a personalized touch, it feels extra thoughtful to both give and receive. I love sticking to classic 3 initial monograms and tend to use a traditional circle block (last initial in the middle) or classic block (first, middle, last). For me, monograms are also nostalgic. Monograms make a piece more special and remind me of memories I made around the time I had it or received it. I can recall every special tote I have had with my monogram, and likely still have them. It’s that personalization and unique quality that makes me feel connected to something. When you open a gift with a personalization, it’s so heartwarming because you know the gift-giver went the extra mile. A monogram can also make an ordinary or practical gift feel unique in a pinch.
Today I’m so excited to be partnering with CLV by Cathy’s Concepts to share a few monogram vegan leather gifts that I think are practical and purposeful, but will also feel special. I was first introduced to CLV last year, and was so impressed with the quality and affordable price point. Like, so impressed. I don’t say that lightly, but these are affordable items that really feel nice. So after a year of using some of their items, I am over the moon to chat about why I love their monogrammed gifts. I picked out some vegan leather pouches and cases to gift myself and Andrew this season. Cosmetic cases and pouches are great for organizing, even if you aren’t going anywhere. They would also be great for your family members, in-laws, spouse, and friends. Pretty much anyone who uses a leather good! CLV has a great assortment of monogrammed goods, from totes, to accessories, to home goods.
They also are giving you a special code if you want to shop, 30% off your order with “ELSA30”! My code is valid through May of 2021 and personalization is always free with CLV, too! Their current promo on site ends tomorrow, so my code will allow you to continue to do your holiday shopping at a discount.
LADIES MONOGRAM CASES
While we aren’t traveling, these cases are THE BEST FOR EVERYTHING! I love how they nest and fit so much inside. I keep lotion and deodorant in the large case, and keep my makeup in the smaller one. Both the interior and the exterior are easy to clean. I think these would make a great gift for mom or mom-in-law, or any woman really!
LADIES MONOGRAM CLUTCHES
I had to snag this little clutch for myself! I keep leather pouches inside all of my bags. This way, I can just grab it and place it inside my next bag, instead of taking all the contents of my purse out one by one. I keep my wallet, hand sanitizer, keys, mask, under eye concealer (my desert island grab), and gum inside. They keep things tidy and cute. I also love them because I can just grab it from my bag if I am having lunch with a friend, and they look fabulous on their own as a clutch! These are really multi-purpose. I love the foil monogram!
MENS MONOGRAM TOILETRY CASES
Dopp or toiletry cases are great for toiletries, but they are also fabulous for general storage. Andrew will use his when we travel in the future (one day), but for now keeps toiletries inside to keep things tidy. Andrew was so pumped about this dopp kit, he was a big fan of the shape and size. The vegan leather is also very supple. I think I might snag one for my brother, too!
MENS MONOGRAM TECH & ORGANIZATION CASES
Andrew loves tech gadgets, so I thought this square case would be perfect for him. A handsome and chic way to store all his cords, headphones, and doo-dads (I have no idea what else everything else is lol). The monogram is subtle and a modern classic. This would also work for storing watches and cufflinks, too!
