Introducing…Engraved Cutting Boards – Customize Them For Everyone

Personalize one of our new cutting boards. Established Cutting Board

Personalize one of our new cutting boards to create a beautiful wedding gift. Shown here is the Established Cutting Board from giftsin24.com

We are so pleased to announce the latest new products in our lineup: Beautiful, durable personalized bamboo cutting boards. They come in a variety of attractive designs using our most popular lettering styles and monograms. They’re so pretty, you may not want to cut on them. Luckily, you can use them in so many ways.

Indispensable in Your Kitchen

Our cutting boards measure a generous 8.75 inches by 11.5 inches, offering plenty of room to chop and dice. They are made from bamboo, which is a fast-growing grass that is as hard and durable as wood. It’s a renewable resource and compostable at the end of its life, unlike plastic or glass cutting boards. We recommend hand-washing to keep it looking great for years to come.

Many cutting board designs offer the choice of horizontal or vertical orientation for the personalization. Either way, they look terrific and add a bit of pizzazz to a normally ho-hum kitchen object.

Serving Platters

They work beautifully as serving platters for hors d’oeuvres, muffins, cheeses and more. Planning a relaxing brunch with family? Pile on some home baked muffins, still warm from the oven. Entertaining work friends at home? Offer a selection of three cheeses artfully displayed, along with a bowl of crispy crackers.  The possibilities are endless.

Memorable Gifts

Our engraved cutting boards also make memorable gifts. Newlywed couples would love to see their names and wedding date on a high quality cutting board as part of a shower gift, along with tea towels and useful kitchen utensils. Present one to a new homeowner with the date of their home purchase. Or, bundle one up in a gift box with some gourmet spreads, crackers and wine to a couple celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary.

Gutsy or Geeky? Typography & Personal Style

Monogram Coaster from Giftsin24.com ships in 24 hours.

Here’s our Classic Monogram engraved on a cork coaster.

Here at Giftsin24, we are completely and utterly ga-ga over typography. It’s really our first love. We offer so many different lettering styles and monograms just so you can find one that perfectly expresses your personal style.

Yes, we completely enjoy the creamy, dreamy, thick paper we use. And yes, we can’t get enough of our shimmery raised inks and foil colors. And yes, we “lurve” embossing, which is, ahem, half the name of our brand of stationery, Embossed Graphics.

But typography is where it all begins. For us, typography is really all about an essential attitude. It’s about personality. It’s about STYLE.

Express Your Personal Style with Typography

If you select Dune, a bold lettering style, for your stationery, you are telling others you have the courage of your convictions. You’re a risk-taker who doesn’t back down.

If you select our Classic lettering style– best represented by our Classic Monogram — maybe you love history and custom and see yourself as part of a long tradition of manners and community and fellow-feeling.

If you select Anthony, a casual hand-lettered font, you signal a fun-loving attitude and that you’re not too invested in “the rules.”

See what we mean? Typography expresses the un-erasable part of you, the area of your psyche that can’t be denied or squished into someone else’s idea of what’s “cool.” It’s your personal style.

Not caring about typography is like not caring about the clothes you wear or the food you eat. Crazy, right? Yes, you could walk around day after day in a white t-shirt and khaki pants and eat plain pasta 3 squares a day. But where would that get you in life? And perhaps the more important question is: would life be any fun?

So the next time you select personalized stationery, pay attention to your gut reaction to each lettering style and select the one that really speaks to you. Don’t worry about what’s popular or what that next guy or gal chose. Typography is all about you.

That’s why we offer so many options– many of them exclusively created by Embossed Graphics. We know that secret, inner you is just dying to announce herself through an expression of personal style.

 

 

The Party Rookie: How Many Napkins Do You Need?

Serenity Napkin by giftsin24.com

Serenity Napkin gives a wedding shower or engagement party a spark of sophistication

Oops…Did you order too few napkins? Personalized party napkins can take an uninteresting table setting from humdrum to hubba hubba. At Giftsin24 it’s easy to create the perfect personalized napkins for your next party. But do you know how to estimate napkins so you order the correct amount? Order too many, and you’ll be using them for the next several months. Order too few and, well, your guests will be a little uncomfortable.

Now that you’ve added some glitz, don’t make a rookie mistake and order too few napkins. There’s nothing more awkward than getting caught short-handed at the buffet table, beverage bar or powder room.

Here’s how to estimate the number of napkins or guest towels you’ll need:

How to Estimate Napkins

  • Drinks during an open bar or cocktail hour: one napkin per hour per guest.
  • Passed hors d’oeuvres before a meal:  one napkin for each piece of appetizer you serve.
  • Dessert or cake: one napkin per guest.

How to Estimate Guest Towels

  • Dinner napkins for a meal: one towel per guest, plus extras “just in case.” Order two per guest if serving saucy food or food that is eaten with the hands.
  • Hand towels in the restroom: two to three per person for a three- to four-hour party. If you have a longer reception, plan on more.

Whether you want traditional, white embossed napkins or snazzy foil-stamped napkins in vivid hues, you can find an amazing array of designs, motifs, paper colors, foil colors and lettering styles that hit the right note for your event. You can find napkins for weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, graduations, holidays and many more occasions. They’ll add that special touch to your next party.  See all of our precision-crafted napkins here.

Create memorable party favors by personalizing our keepsake ornaments.

Party Favors

Personalize a keepsake ornament for each of your guests, or make every one the same. Give them out individually or hang them attractively by your door so guests can pick them up as they depart. Our ornaments are a unique party favor — more interesting than the standard goodie bag filled with sweets — and certainly will remind your guests of all the fun they had at your event.

Table Place Cards

For more formal occasions, you can use our keepsake ornaments as place card holders at banquet tables or dinner parties. Think: 50th anniversary parties for parents, intimate wedding receptions or rehearsal dinners, memorial service dinners, retirement parties, or even corporate events like sales meetings. For weddings, you can personalize one for each of your bridal party and use them as place card holders and bridal party thank you gifts at the rehearsal dinner or wedding reception.

Gift Tags

Why use an ordinary paper gift tag when you can give the recipient something special? Each ornament comes with a silver ribbon. You can attach the ornament with the silver ribbon to a gift bag or box to provide extra sparkle and shine.

Our Best 3 Gift Ideas for a New Grad

A newly minted diploma is cause for celebration. The new graduate is jubilant. Parents are beaming like the sun with pride. The party is planned. You’ve dug out your favorite summer outfit and are ready to fête the student of honor and his or her new achievement.

We’ve gathered our 3 favorite gifts we think no new graduate can do without.

Highland Card from Giftsin24.com ships in 24 hours.

Any new graduate would love the Highland Card from Giftsin24. Customize it with a lettering style, ink color and optional border or hand-inserted envelope lining.

Personalized Stationery

Nothing says “grown up” more than having your own personalized stationery. Particularly for a college grad looking for a new job, think of all those circumstances where personalized stationery will really come in handy, from the interview thank you to keeping key professional connections alive.

Monograms, names, embossed, raised ink, the possibilities are endless, but we particularly like the classic good looks of the new Highland Card. Because young people are so mobile these days, skip the optional return address. But a border or envelope lining or even 100% cotton paper could be very, very nice.

 

 

 

Treasured Moment Picture Frame from Giftsin24.com ships in 24 hours.

Personalize the Treasure Moment Picture Frame and include a favorite photograph from the graduate’s school years.

Picture Frame

A new graduate probably has at least several cherished high school or college photographs. A special prom date. Earning straight A’s.  Hanging out with your best buddies. Scoring the winning touch down. Giving a speech. Crossing a finish line. All of these moments and more make up the memories of our school years.

We like the Treasured Moment Picture Frame, but we offer frames with other motifs that could work just as beautifully. You can personalize it with the graduate’s name, school, graduation date, nickname, small caption, or any other short message.
