Gift of the Day: Collegiate Tervis Tumblers

With October almost here, college football season is in full swing! Whether your team is winning or losing, fond tailgating memories will get you through your work week.

Keep your team spirit alive throughout the year with Collegiate Tervis Tumblers.

1. Choose from 5 different tumbler sizes
2. Select your favorite team emblem
3. Personalize with your name, monogram or nickname (no numbers, please)

Everyone loves Tervis Tumblers! In case you were wondering how it all started, the world’s first insulated tumbler was created in 1946 by Detroit engineering duo Frank Cotter & G. Howlett Davis. Using the insulating properties of air, the two engineers created a permanently sealed, double-walled tumbler that kept cold drinks colder & hot drinks hotter longer than traditional drinkware. The only thing missing was a name but with a simple combination of the last three letters of Cotter & Davis’ names, the brand “Tervis®” was born.

Personalized Tervis Tumblers are dishwasher, freezer and microwave safe. Order them now to enjoy during this football season or think about them as a holiday gift.

Collegiate Tervis Tumblers will be 10% off for a week beginning today.

Gift of the Day: Hand-Engraved Sterling Silver Cuff

Simply elegant, understated chic bracelet beautiful enough for a special occasion yet designed to wear everyday.

Designed by Andrea Barnett of Dallas, Texas, this custom made cuff bracelet with hand-rolled edges measures a significant 1.5 inches tall at its widest point.

Hand-engraving is an artform so this beauty takes 4-6 weeks to have made. It is worth the wait! An heirloom piece the moment you put it on your arm. I wore mine last night to a party and had a few people order one on the spot.

As a Gift of the Day, this bracelet will be 10% through September 25th. Take advantage of the savings and order one for the holidays now!

Gift of the Day: Fashion Week Find - Chic Straw Bags

With Spring 2010 Fashion Week in full swing in New York through Thursday, we thought we'd highlight a Monogram Merchant favorite which is being presented to stylists and fashion writers during the big event.

These chic straw bags were the hit of the Hamptons this summer and you can have one ready for winter and spring trips. People followed me around asking 'Where did you get that bag?' For the record, I was carrying the large shoulder bag in the Hampton ribbon with white monogram.

Completely customized, you can select from the Hobe Sound collection shown left which features beautifully cast Sand Dollars, Scallops or Starfish on gorgeous silk and the Monogram Collection with almost 2 dozen color choices. The bags come in four different styles so there is something for everyone.
