Fine Silver Jewelry

Fine silver jewelry is really catching on and we have a huge selection at Pretty Personal Gifts.

What is fine silver? It's 99.9% pure silver while sterling silver is 92.5% silver mixed with other metals (usually copper). The result is a bright shinny finish that's more resistant to tarnish since it's pure silver. Here are a few pieces from our collection that are just perfect for Valentines day...each piece is made to order and hand crafted in our design studio.

What's New at Pretty Personal Gifts

In case you missed our "what's new" page, here are a few of the new personalized gifts we've added just in time for the holidays!

Carved personalized soap and carved personalized candles. Both are made in the USA and shipped within 48 hours of ordering. You can't go wrong. The candle burns down only so far allowing you the option of inserting a tea light candle to preserve the monogram. You can use this for years to come. The personalized soap can be ordered in 1,3,6 or 12 bars. It smells amazing and the quality of the carving is like nothing we've seen before. These are two of our favorite new personalized gifts for this holiday.



These amazing personalized "Barrel End" signs are available in 9 different designs and are designed to look like they were cut off the end of an barrel. They measure 23" diameter and are available with or without a spigot. We love this personalized sign so much we have one in our own home. If a round sign isn't on your list this year, check out our selection of vintage look signs and 2 dimensional vintage signs. These signs are a customer favorite year after year.

We added a solid black to our color selection of Party To Go totes (wine carrier).

This is one of our favorite gifts in the "under $20" category. We can embroider it in any color making it the most versatile of all the Party To Go totes that we carry. This bag is most often used as a wine carrier but don't stop there. It makes a wonderful hostess gift and what family wouldn't love it if you bring this to the Bar B Que filled with everything you need to make s'mores. The possibilities are endless.

We have 15 equestrian designs that can be used on our personalized equestrian tote bags and personalized equestrian afghans. Perfect for the horse lover in your life!

We've added a few new designs to our personalized quilted back pack collection. The toddlers just love this personalized back pack and we have 27 designs to choose from (while supplies last!)

As some of you know we've been having fun celebrating our 10th anniversary in business this year. I can't believe we are well on our way to 11 years already. It just keeps getting better year after year! My sweet sister in law reminded me tonight that my husband and I have been together for over 15 years. My question is, where does the time go? If you figure that out, please let me know. We all know that time flies when you're having fun so be sure to kick back and enjoy your holiday. No, we will not be working on Thanksgiving this year no matter what Target and Walmart are doing. We think everyone deserves a day off, and I wouldn't dream of shopping on Turkey day. Well, maybe from my computer ;)

Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Scarf Season Already?

It was sunny and 78 degrees here today in upstate NY. How did you spend your day? I spent my day monogramming winter scarves. You wouldn't believe how many monogrammed scarves people have ordered in the last few weeks. How many you ask? Well I don't know exactly, but I can tell you that we completely sold out of our inventory. Good thing a new shipment arrived today! My favorite new color is turquoise. It's gorgeous.


We now offer monogrammed scarves in 18 colors. Some of our customers told us they are ordering now for Christmas! (In September?) Yes, Christmas. We sold out of some colors last year and apparently they want to get while the getting is good. Too early? I guess it's never too early to stash away that perfect gift for someone special. The price is right at only $19.50. Easy on the budget.


It's hard to enjoy these last few days of summer while I'm monogramming scarves but I'm not complaining! It's time to say good bye to the pool and get ready for Fall, but don't worry, we won't be putting up the Christmas tree just yet...some things can wait!

Acrylic Double Wall Tumblers

These acrylic tumblers come with a matching straw, a screw on lid and hold 24 ounces of your favorite drink. That's right, 24 ounces! Available in 6 colors.

Catch All Bag

This huge nylon bag is available in a variety of really fun color combinations. It's great for transporting sleeping bag & pillow, laundry, beach towels, you name it. My daughter tested this one out on her last sleepover. I fit her sleeping bag, pillow, 2 changes of clothing, toiletry bag and flip flops in there. It's HUGE! It's also a great laundry bag for the college bound grad. Best of all we carry the matching pillow cases & some matching bath wraps.


personalized pillow cases

Personalized Bath Wraps


Seersucker Tote

This adorable seersucker tote is fully lined and has a nifty a rope handle. Makes me wish I was on a boat with my acrylic tumbler and bag full of beach towels. We're currently stocked with Aqua and Lime.


Cluster Necklaces

Our personalized cluster necklaces have been flying out the door. Mix and match charms to create a one of a kind necklace that's as unique as you are. Best of all it can be changed as often as you'd like.

As always, you can check our "what's new" page to see what else is new.

We're tapping our toes waiting for school to be over. I know most of you in the warmer climates are done with school. We start late and end late up here in the great Northeast. I may have to drop the "great" from the Northeast after the winter and spring that we just endured. It did nothing but snow and rain here. On the upside, our gardens have never looked better.

So that's what's new with us, what's new with you?

Giveaway Alert!!!

One of my all time favorite bloggers, Semi-Slacker Mom is hosting a giveaway. Jump on over to her blog to see how you can enter to win a Pretty Personal Gifts personalized cooler bag.

Good luck!

What an honor!

One of our favorite things to personalize is baby layette. When a customer comes to us for a personalized "take me home" outfit for their baby of course we're excited. When they return a few years later to outfit their next baby, we're not only excited, we're truly honored.

That's the case with Bradan & Shannon shown above. For a few years now we've featured a photo of Bradan's personalized layette on our website because it was just too cute. What an honor to recently have been asked to make a new outfit for his baby sister Shannon. Turns out that we couldn't pass up taking a quick picture of her outfit either. Welcome to the world Shannon and congratulations on being a big brother Bradan! We're truly honored!

Budget Friendly Personalized Gifts

A great question came in today from a customer... "Do you have a recommendation for an inexpensive gift that doesn't look inexpensive? An acquaintance just had her 3rd child. I would like to send her a small gift but don't want to break the bank. Any ideas?"

This baby sun hat is the perfect gift priced at $15 including personalization.

Another budget friendly idea is a personalized bib ($15) or personalized burp cloth ($12.50). Each can be embellished with a variety of cute designs

New Monogrammed Dress

I'm not sure if I've ever seen a monogrammed dress that I like more than this one. The sash can be removed (be still my heart) so you can change the color, or even pass it down to another child. I love options.

Here we have the blue gingham dress with a navy sash. This dress can also be accessorized with a white sash.

And just when you think that things can't get any cuter, here we have monogrammed fancy pants that can be made to match any of the dresses. Did I mention I love options? Did I mention there are 8 different color combinations for the dress? It's true. Available in sizes newborn to 6.

Baby A's Nursery

We love making & monogramming our custom crib bedding & accessories. We love it even more when we get to see them all set up in the nursery! Thanks to baby A's parents for giving us these photos of her beautiful nursery. We heard she arrived safe and sound last month. We made the custom monogrammed crib set, custom monogrammed valances & custom lamp shade. Love the pictures! Welcome to the world Baby A!
