Gifts for her

  • A monogrammed tote bag with her initials and a bow. Easy, useful and personal. Design one.
  • A patched crewneck with patches for the places she loves. Build one.

Gifts for friends

Matching sets are the move: same tote color, same patch theme, each friend's initials. It is the kind of gift that ends up in the group chat. More in our gifts for best friends guide.

Hostess gifts

Bringing something to a holiday party? A canvas tote with the host's initial is useful for the next day's leftovers and every day after. Tuck a bottle of wine or a candle inside.

Natural and navy canvas tote with palm tree, LA and smiley face patches
A patched tote is a gift that gets used every single day.

Teacher and coach gifts

A tote with their initials and a smiley or clover patch holds papers, lunch and a water bottle, and it is far more memorable than another mug.

Secret Santa and White Elephant

If you know the person, go personal with initials. If you do not, choose a crowd-pleasing patch combo like New York City, cherry and bow.

Gifts for the family

Matching family crewnecks, each with a different initial, make great holiday photos. See more in our Christmas gift ideas.

Gifts for college kids home for break

A cozy sweatshirt for the trip home and a tote for the new semester. More in our college gift guide.

Holiday gifting tips

  1. Order early. Every piece is made to order and ships in 7 to 10 business days, and holiday shipping gets busy.
  2. Bundle and save on shipping. Shipping is free on orders over $75, so a tote and sweatshirt together is an easy win.
  3. Double-check initials. Confirm spelling and order of initials before you check out.
  4. Wrap it in a tote. Put smaller gifts inside a custom tote for zero-waste wrapping.
