Check out these name-bearing gifts and don't leave them until the last minute — they require extra time to customize with your tyke's moniker! Read more
Think outside the crayon box the next time you want to get creative! Crayons are mostly used for coloring, but there's so much more moms and kids can do with them!

Here's a post from CasaSugar Community member Seefree from the Su Casa group: I'm in the throws of giving my little girl a room upgrade...and one of the biggest obstacles was her single, narrow window. I wanted to give it more impact in the room...so with the help of some foam poster board, duct tape, Ikea drapes and grosgrain ribbon I was able to meet my goal! The window certainly gained some Read more
There was a time when monogrammed dinnerware was reserved for Southern Belles and traditional homemakers. Today, everyone is getting in the game of having their everyday plates and fine china painted with their initials. As wedding season gears up, you may even find a few ambitious registries seeking out their own personalized tableware. Monogramming is pretty, but pairing personalization with Read more
I love the idea of having monogrammed linens made when you get married — it's definitely a must for every wedding registry. Putting your initials in thread is a fun way to assert your new relationship, and it's a subtle ode to your union that sticks with you long after the Big Day. Just don't use your new linens until after you wedding day: that's bad luck! There are a few schools of thought Read more
In last week's episode of High Society, Dabney and Jules head to luxury linen retailer Frette to pick up their new monogrammed linens — which, mind you, go for at least $100 for a single Euro sham. You get the idea that these linens are must-have among the Park Avenue set. I'm particularly a fan of artist Amanda Stone Talley's monogrammed linens with their bright orange trim and scalloped Read more
Welcome to the seventh project in my 12 DIYs of Christmas series! I decided to make hand-painted monogrammed tea towels as a gift for a friend that has everything this year. I think taking the extra step to hand-paint this everyday item gives it a personal touch, and shows more effort than any store-bought item. I decided to paint the monogram in my own handwriting and made my own stencil, so it Read more
Anthropologie lovers, rejoice. It has a sale section worth perusing. Everything from loungewear to dresses, sweaters to shoes are heavily marked down. I spotted these Dramatic Monogram Orange Cuffs ($30, originally $58). If they don't have your letter, the other clearance jewels are equally impressive. Read more
Even if you don't entertain often, every home should have a classic and simple set of table linens, for the occasion that guests drop by and to nudge you to actually sit down and enjoy your brunch every Sunday morning. If you've inherited some antique linens, that's wonderful, but you may want to keep them in good shape for parties. There's no need to drop big bucks on your tabletop, especially Read more
This George Monogram ($30 to $35/sq. ft.) by Diane Elson Bankoff is part of Elson & Co.'s children's collection, and I assume it's meant for a nursery. I'm not going to lie: It's certainly a good-looking rug. But personally, I feel that monograms are best left on the doormats, flasks, or preppy L.L. Bean tote bags of the world. Covering your floor in a fun pattern, or a classic Kilim, says Read more
