Having your name or initials emblazoned on something never gets old. It goes back to that pride you felt back in third grade, when writing your name into your favorite books sent a statement to the world: “This is mine.” (And if you’re like me, you also drew a unicorn and stars for good measure) As far as gifts go, something personalized or custom-designed shows that you put a bit of effort into it, when you could totally just buy an iTunes gift card.
With that in mind, we gathered a bunch of customizable gift ideas at various price points. Whether your recipient is into fashion or not, here are ten ideas for cool custom gifts. Click through to check them out.

Last night we were honored to join our DIY guru Erica Domesek of P.S. I Made This to fete her new book at the Kate Spade New York store in SoHo.
But since it’s Erica, she of the golden glue gun, this wasn’t your ordinary schmooze and have some drinks and eat some mini hotdogs type book party (though there were mini hotdogs and they were delicious). She put us to work. We, along with Design Sponge’s Grace Bonney, Andrew Mukamal, Lonny Magazine‘s Michelle Adams, and Style Republic Magazine‘s Brittany Law, were tasked with DIY-ing one of Kate Spade New York’s signature black leather London Totes. Sharpie and crafting site I Love To Create generously supplied us all with tons of great art supplies.
P.S. I Live Here: As it turns out, the design talents of Erica Domesek of PS I Made This are not limited to clothes and accessories.

It’s been two summers and I’m still really, really into anything that even remotely resembles a friendship bracelet.
Now, the wicked talented Erica Domesek–she of our favorite DIY website, PS- I Made This–has created a rope necklace that I just can’t resist.
Domesek partnered with adorable boutique Tauk–in Montauk, obviously–to release a limited edition run of the macrame necklaces she’s been wearing all summer. And yes, she made them. Each is handwoven with string, bright ropes, and ultra suede.
I’m partial to the navy, black, and white, but let’s be real, they’re all cute.
We’ve basically abandoned DIYs. There’s too much going on and we’ve lost our glue gun under the bed. But more importantly, we’ve fallen in love with PS. I Made This.
