Thoughtful Personalized Gifts for all Your Spring Special Occasions

This post is sponsored by Marleylilly. I only highlight and share products that I use and truly love. Thank you for supporting the brands that support Empty Nest Blessed!

If you’ve been hanging around here for a while now, you know that I think custom, personalized gifts are the most thoughtful gifts you can give. They show intentionality! You took the extra time and effort to personalize a gift just for the recipient! How special is that?

Personalized Gifts for Graduations

Do you have a graduate this year? We do! Our daughter is graduating from NYU with her Master’s! Whether you have a high school, college, or post-grad graduate, Marleylilly is a great place to shop for graduation gifts!

Personalized Sling Backpack | Monogrammed Scalloped Edge Exercise Tank

High school graduates will love gifts that set them up in style for college life! For girls, dorm-life must-haves like a Monogrammed Waffle Robe and college campus necessities like a cute monogrammed umbrella or a Personalized Sling Backpack are always welcome gifts. (Not to mention a Monogrammed Insulated Travel Tumbler to keep her hydrated!) How about a Monogrammed Collapsible Rolling Cart for laundry day or a Monogrammed Shower Bag (made of mesh so water runs through) to keep her organized?

For guys, a Monogrammed Lounge Pillow Cover is always a great idea, as is this Personalized Packable Travel Bag and coordinating Personalized Hanging Toiletry Bag for weekends away. One of the best gifts my middle son got for graduation was a Monogrammed Bath Towel. He used it all four years he was in college!

One of my favorite ideas for high school graduates is to get them something from the the university they’re going to attend, like a Personalized Clear Stadium Bag in their college colors. Check out Marleylilly’s collegiate section for officially licensed NCAA-approved game-day apparel and accessories that make gift-giving a snap!

Got a college graduate or post-grad graduate to buy for? Set her up for work life with this chic Monogrammed Stud Earring Set or gift this beautiful Monogrammed Pillow Sham for her new “grownup” apartment. Any guy would love this Monogrammed Leather Weekender or this Personalized Waxed Canvas Hanging Toiletry Bag (perfect if he’ll be traveling for work). If he’s headed off to the work world, how about this great looking Personalized Messenger Bag for carting his laptop and other necessities back and forth?

Personalized Gifts for Mother’s Day

Monogrammed Insulated Travel Tumbler (Click HERE for other prints and solid color options.)

Mother’s Day is Sunday, May 11! Whether you’re buying for a young mama, like you daughter or daughter-in-law, or your senior adult mom, any woman would love this chic Monogrammed Scallop Acrylic Valet Tray for her vanity or dresser or this pretty Monogrammed Layered Cross Necklace to wear with anything from a casual tee to a dressy dress. For around the house, these plush Monogrammed Slippers are such a sweet idea and this Personalized Spring Pillow Sham will look amazing in a living room, bedroom, or on a porch.

Monogrammed Reversible Cross Necklace

For the young mamas in your life, how about this Monogrammed Softspun Lounge Set that’s perfect for weekends or around-the-house days? I’m gifting my daughter-in-law this Monogrammed Mesh Tote for pool days and I love this Monogrammed Scalloped Tank Top for park days. I think these Mama Heart Earrings or this Monogrammed Mama Bracelet Stack would make a darling gift for a new mom or mom-to-be.

Monogrammed Mesh Tote

You can’t go wrong with this Mama Necklace in either gold or silver for moms of any age and this cozy Personalized Plush Blanket would make such a thoughtful gift for a senior adult mom. Another cozy gift idea for a senior adult mom? This Monogrammed Softspun Robe in chic black and white. For the mom who loves time in God’s Word, this sweet Monogrammed Bible Carrier would make a precious gift.

Personalized Gifts for Father’s Day

Monogrammed Convertible Weekend Bag (See how it works HERE.)

Father’s Day is Sunday, June 15! Dads of any age would love this oh-so-masculine Personalized Leather Money Clip Wallet or this elegant Personalized Waxed Canvas Weekender.

Shopping for an empty nester? Thiss Personalized Packing Cube Set is perfect for the guy on the go! Does his Dopp Kit need an upgrade? (They can get looking gross after a while! 🫣) Check out this classy Personalized Waxed Canvas Dopp Kit or Personalized Waxed Canvas Hanging Toiletry Bag. If you have a second home like we do, this Monogrammed Packable Garment Bag is perfect for weekend getaways. Bob uses his when we go to our loft in Waco on the weekends.

Monogrammed Fishing Shirt (Makes a cute swimsuit coverup too!)

I gifted our son this Personalized Leather Valet Tray for Christmas, and he loved it so much! Bob has one just like it and takes it when he travels, because it lays flat for packing, thanks to the snaps in the corners. I gave our other son this Monogrammed Golf Towel, and it was perfect because he loves to golf anytime he can!

For a senior adult dad, how about this Monogrammed Men’s Handkerchief Set? So classy! (Great Father of the Bride gift too!)

Personalized Gifts for Baby Gifts or Baby Showers

Marleylilly Kids is a division of Marleylilly, and it specifically focuses on personalized clothing and accessories for children, offering the same adorable, preppy style that Marleylilly is known for, but in sizes and designs tailored for little ones. I love finding coordinating or matching Mommy & Me looks, as well as baby gifts at Marleylilly Kids!

Baby girl on the way? How about this precious Monogrammed Baby Soft Jersey Bubble or these Monogrammed White Eyelet Baby Bloomers? For a baby boy, I love this Monogrammed Kids Jon Jon or one of Marleylilly’s super soft fleece Monogrammed Baby Blankets or cable knit Personalized Baby Blankets. A beautiful Monogrammed Baby Layette Gown in either pink, blue, or white is always a perfect gift for a little one.

I love giving baby gifts like Monogrammed Baby Hooded Bath Towels or Monogrammed Baby Terry Burp Cloths. The prices at Marleylilly are so good, you can afford to get several!

Monogrammed Lovies are always a good idea, and Marleylilly has several darling ones to choose from. This handy Diaper Clutch holds a diaper or two, plus wipes for Mother’s Day Out or the Church Nursery!

I love the idea of gifting this Monogrammed Stroller Caddy to a mom-to-be or this Monogrammed Baby Bib to a grandma-to-be. (So helpful to have one or two at your house!)

Weddings or Bridal Showers

For a wedding, I love the idea of gifting the couple something in their new married monogram, like this Personalized Wedding Cutting Board that they could use when entertaining or this Monogrammed Casserole Carrier to bring their dish to family potlucks. I love this Personalized Wooden Caddy for a kitchen.

A couple setting up house would love this classy Monogrammed Bath Towel Set for either their bathroom or a guest bath. There’s never enough storage in apartments, so this Monogrammed Storage Basket would be a welcome addition.

If you’re throwing an upcoming wedding, this Monogrammed Pearl Bow Bracelet Stack would make a great gift for bridesmaids! (So sweet for Mother’s Day too!) This Personalized Leather Money Clip Wallet is ideal for groomsmen gifts.

Want to place a bulk order for personalized gifts (like for bridesmaids’ gifts, wedding favors, etc.) or want them to monogram a custom logo? Their customer service team would love to talk with you about it! You can learn more on their FAQ page HERE.
