Personalizing is very hot right now, and a personalized gift for anyone shows that you took the extra time to really think about him or her and add that special touch.
This blanket from West Elm is actually made with bamboo fiber and cotton, so it's lightweight and baby-soft.
This is a great travel bag because it's a nice size, and the waffle weave gives that spa-like feeling. It comes in a variety of colors, so it's perfect for girls and guys.
This is a great gift, because it can be used to personalize so many things (stationery, cocktail napkins, books); it can also be made as a return address stamp.
For anyone who loves gift cards, this is a new way to personalize the gift card: Send in a picture you want on two-thirds of the card, and the store name is on the last third. That way, you're not just giving a gift card; you've gone that extra step to make it personal.
Home
A gift for someone's home is a nice touch to show you're thinking about him or her and can be a terrific gift for a host or hostess.
This is another option to a fragrant candle, can even be taken with you when you travel, and it's only $10!
A coffee table book is always a thoughtful way to thank your host for including you, plus it's beautiful to look at.
These are very chic servers and are a terrific host/hostess gift.
Even if you aren't a bartender, your martinis will always taste delicious with these mixes, and your guests will love them!
Cashmere
Everyone loves cashmere, and these are decadent gifts that the recipient is sure to love and appreciate.
