There is something about a personalised gift that makes it feel all the more thoughtful and charming. From a mug to a necklace, the addition of a simple initial or date to mark a special occasion ensures it won’t be stolen in the office kitchen, or ‘borrowed’ by a covetous teen. We present our pick of monogrammed gift ideas to thrill and delight.
