This is my favorite gift to get all of my newly engaged or married friends — it’s thoughtful yet practical
I’ve had the pleasure of being a bridesmaid in three of my best friends’ weddings, and every time, I face the dilemma of what to gift them. There’s the engagement gift, the bachelorette party gift, the bridal shower gift and the wedding gift. While I usually adhere to the registry for the shower, when someone gets engaged or I want to give the bride a little something extra on her special day, my favorite way to help them celebrate is with a gorgeous jewelry case embellished with their new initials.
Available in multiple colors.
Mark & Graham, part of the Williams Sonoma family, specializes in all things monogrammed, and it ships pretty fast. Its website will definitely give you East Coast chic vibes. However, I especially love its pebbled leather small travel jewelry cases because they come in a range of colors and patterns, and you can get them monogrammed.
If your friend is changing her last name along with her relationship status, this may be the first thing she owns with her new initial. It’s cute, it’s thoughtful — but best of all, it’s actually useful. Whether she’s going on her honeymoon right away, loves to travel or just wants a safe place to keep all of her favorite jewels (including the ring), this case zips it all up and keeps it secure.
You can go all out and get the case in her wedding colors, too. For example, one of my best friends chose light lavender for our bridesmaid dresses, so I chose the light lavender leather case and embellished it with a silver foil monogram.
Available in multiple colors.
The Mark & Graham Small Travel Jewelry Case regularly retails for $69, plus the monogram fee of $12.50. (Some colors are on sale.) There’s also a Petite Travel Jewelry Case that’s a bit smaller and easier to pack in a full suitcase or carry-on and only $49.
For your friends who are getting married and about to get a new last name, give them something to commemorate the big change. And if jewelry isn’t their thing, Mark & Graham has plenty of other pretty personalized options.
