When it comes to gifts, we’ve found a way to add instant romance (without having to splash out on diamonds) – all you need is a needle and thread, or indeed a good seamstress. We’re talking about monogramming.

A little birdie told us that she bought a shirt for her husband and monogrammed a tiny heart inside the pocket…and apparently Kate Moss gets all her gifts monogrammed…

And you can see why – monogramming adds instant wow to a humble pillow, or embroider a loved one’s initials onto a handkerchief for old school romance.

The Monogrammed Linen Shop offers a standard and bespoke service that allows you to work through many different font and colours in order to create exactly what you want and need. Their gorgeous monogrammed pillows are the only present worth going off-list when it comes to wedding gifts.

Want to add a rustic touch to a romantic supper? These darling little embroidered heart make a cosy scene when strung from chairs, with yours and your loved one’s initial on.

Love letters will never go out of fashion, especially when bound in a Thomas Lyte envelope which has been stamped with your loved one’s initials.

And if you love the idea of something homemade but can’t bear the thought of picking up a needle and thread, the customizable Longchamp Pliage (choose the colours and monogrammed initials) makes the perfect gift – personal but still totally chic.
