Personal, personalized gift idea

I'm loving monograms again. Not just for your stuffy uncle anymore, monogramming is fun and funky and great to do for anyone (as long as you leave yourself a bit of turnaround time).

Shown here is a glass from a set of four tumblers that just arrived for a customer. I love the way they turned out. They have a nice weight and feel, and the engraving is beautifully done (hard to see in the photo, but the letters are deep engraved into the glass, not just etched on the surface -- big difference). It only took about two weeks (all done in the US); cost is $38 for the set of four tumblers delivered to our shop in a sturdy box (just $3 extra per set if you want them drop shipped elsewhere). And, there are 11 different shapes/sizes to choose from, including ice buckets, carafes, wine glasses, champagne flutes...

You can specify one, two or three initials as shown, or -- my own brilliant idea which the company is happy to do for us -- you could do two initials with an ampersand. Perfect for couples with different last names. Come by and see some of the options at both Pomegranates, or call me for a faxed copy of the order form (541.312.9232) or email for more details (jantiques@bendcable.com). Cin cin!!
