Filling Your Holiday Gift List Quickly

By Misty Tyler


Holiday times are traditionally linked to exchanging gifts. In most cases, you want to find unique gifts for each person on your shopping list. It can be a challenge to some people to come up with ideas which are not the "same old thing". One way to shorten the time you spend shopping is to visit the custom embroidery Dallas website and use the product listing there to fire up your imagination about potential gift ideas.

For anyone on your list who is interest in sports, whether as a fan or a player, gift ideas incorporating embroidery of insignia, colors, mascots or equipment makes an otherwise ordinary item into something special. An image of a mascot in team colors placed on a jacket or cap makes a great gift for a player or fans to wear to games.

A standard gift item which has been further decorated with a monogram or name makes the gift memorable. Monograms are used on various surfaces to highlight the unique nature of the item. By choosing to embroider a name or initials on a gift item, there are many choices available. Choosing elaborate font styles or varying the colors personalizes the monogram even more. A plain font surrounded by images results in a gift that is attractive and personal.

For a unique set of place mats for the holiday table, create a design that reflects the symbols of the season and have it embroidered on the fabric. If you are not artistic, browsing the internet is likely to give you dozens of ideas for a set of table settings. The place mats could be combined with a beautiful table runner done in the same theme.

Once you have settled on a theme for the table runner and place setting mats, create additional theme enhancements with table napkins which match or complement them. The complete set can be presented, or each of the elements separately. A themed grouping makes a great anniversary or wedding gift.

For most households, the gift of towels is welcome. By adding embroidery images or monograms to a set of basic towels, the gift become similar to those which could be obtained at a high-end boutique. The towels are made unique and distinctive. Embroidery also is helpful to label individual towels for family members.

Gift items don't have to be functional. They can be created purely as decorative pieces. Images which are related to interests and hobbies of household members can be turned into attractive gift items. Framing and matting embroidered images of butterflies or flowers make attractive wall hangings. Images of fruits or vegetables are appropriate for kitchen decorations. Any image, simple or complex can be transferred and become art work. You can work with your own ideas and creativity, or find ideas online.

The gift ideas above are just a few which could be selected. The categories of decoration, functionality and identification are all areas where embroidery forms a key part of a gift idea. Add your own creative and attractive ideas and the recipient will understand that you have put time and thought into selecting their gift.
