What Do You Give Someone Who Has Everything?

Every now and then you come across that one person who is impossible to buy for. You know, that one person who compels you to search ALL of the clearance shelves at WalMart on Christmas Eve looking for the perfect gift.

I'm here to solve all your problems.

Enter monogram gifts. It is the perfect they-can't-regift-it-gift because it has the recipient's initial on it! Unless you cultivate lots of friends whose name start with the same letter. Then you can all have an exchange-the-monogram-gift party. Eat cupcakes. Generally make merry.

It is kind of like the grown-up version of putting your name on everything in kindergarten. And why let your friends have all the fun? Be like me and when you are going through the bargain bin at the local outlet store, laugh at the wallet with your initial. Then decide that maybe it is worth the $3 to cross to the dark side and have something branded.

If you decide to go down this route, there is no reason to stop at one or two items. Life would be so much fun with a monogrammed vacuum, toothbrush, and shoes that leave a monogrammed footprint. (If they don't make those yet, they should.)

Once you are ready to move to the next step, we can start a discussion about putting your WHOLE name on stuff. Like water bottles. For now...baby steps.
