Simple Embroidery Gift Ideas for Any Occasion

If you’re looking for a neat and nifty gift, there are many personalized, embroidery gift ideas options available to choose from. These are great for any occasion that may come, especially now that the holidays are nearing. Getting these made is more special compared to handing out cash or gift cards. Below are a few good examples of what you could get made for anyone. Read on to learn more.

• Beanies and sweatshirts
With the colder months right around the corner, a beanie and a sweatshirt would make a great gift. What makes them is when you get them personalized with custom embroidery. Since they are usually cheap and easy to find, sourcing them would be effortless.

When getting beanies personalized, big designs require a no-show mesh stabilizer while a tear-away one will work just fine for smaller designs. For sweatshirts, a layer of polymesh or cut-away stabilizer would work best for dense sweatshirt designs on thick fabric.

• Towels
It may seem boring, but a towel is actually a very practical and reasonable gift to give. Since it can be replaced easily, especially once it’s soiled, anyone will surely appreciate a personalized and irreplaceable towel. Like a mug or a picture frame, once you add your own spin to it, it becomes more special. From names to objects that a special someone likes, there are many options for a custom embroidery design.

It’s important to note that when getting towels embroidered, a tear-away or wash-away stabilizer should be used with temporary spray adhesive for the best possible results. Remember that choosing a knockdown stitch or nap-tack stitch will compress a towel, making the custom design easier to see.

• Tote bags and coasters
Just like a sweatshirt and a beanie, tote bags and coasters are also easy to make custom gift items out of. You can add stuff the receiver likes or theme-related items. Simple but enjoyable coasters can be paired with a set of drinking glasses.

Tote bags and coasters can easily be adorned with monograms, team names, or even flowers. Since they are very thin, a tear-away stabilizer will work just fine for simple designs, but bigger designs might need a no-show stabilizer.
