It seems like the holidays come faster every year. Whether you are finished or not with your holiday shopping and crafting, there is still time to fit in a few more projects for your friends and loved ones before the year ends. In this post, I am going to show you 5 last-minute project ideas that you can give as gifts before we say goodbye to this year.
These projects are fun, thoughtful, and sure to bring smiles to your loved ones.
1. Personalized Towels:
Jazz up plain towels with personalized embroidery! Whether it's a hand towel, bath towel, or kitchen towel, adding a monogram, a cute design, or a witty quote can instantly elevate it into a unique gift. Choose festive holiday themes or customize it with the recipient's initials for an extra special touch. I like this set of 4 bathtowels from Target because the hem design is minimal and leaves plenty of space for monogramming.
2. Cozy Embroidered Scarves:
Scarves are winter essentials, and they are fantastic canvases for embroidery! Grab a soft, plain scarf and embroider seasonal designs or a simple monogram. This scarf from Amazon comes in 20 colors and patterns and costs only $16.97.
3. Embroidered Napkins:
Deck the tables with personalized napkins! Plain linen napkins are widely available at affordable prices these days, and a monogram adds a personal touch that is sure to make your loved ones swoon. Browse my assortment of monogram frames here. Take a look at this pack of 12 linen hemstitched napkins on Amazon here.
4. Monogrammed Tote Bags:
Everyone loves a tote bag and they make fantastic gifts. Find plain canvas totes and embroider fun designs, quotes, a monogram, or even a single initial. Consider the recipient's interests—whether they love animals, nature, or witty phrases—and personalize the design accordingly. It's a practical gift that they will adore! Find my Chinoiserie Monogram Frame here. The classic Boat and Tote from LL Bean is linked here for $29.95
5. Holiday-Themed Pillow Covers:
Spruce up plain pillow covers with holiday cheer! Choose reds, greens, or classic whites and embroider festive scenes, seasonal greetings, or whimsical images onto the pillow. Think snowflakes, holly, and Cardinals, of course! Pillow covers are inexpensive and instantly add a cozy holiday vibe to any space. Find the link to my Cardinal Embroidery Design here. Amazon has many affordable and high quality pillow cover options. Here is a set of 4 for $14.29.
Remember, the key is to keep these projects simple and enjoyable. Choose designs that are relatively quick to embroider, especially if you are working on multiple gifts. Don't forget to use quality threads and stabilizers to ensure your creations look fantastic!
Additionally, consider personalizing these gifts further by using the recipient's favorite colors, incorporating inside jokes, or tailoring the designs to their preferences. Handmade gifts with a personal touch always steal the show!
With these fun and thoughtful embroidery projects, you will not only spread holiday cheer but also showcase your creativity and thoughtfulness. Happy stitching and happy gifting!
