Embellish Accessories and Gifts

People love to express themselves, whether by wearing monogrammed apparel or stamping their initials on bar towels and tissue-box covers. And for heads of households, that self-expression becomes an even more powerful statement when outfitting children and decorating the home. As a mother and homeowner, Meredith can relate. That's why she founded Embellish Accessories and Gifts, where she and her staff curate designer clothing and accessories, as well as charming baby accessories and housewares.

Their specialty is custom monogramming, which they apply to everything from shirts, hats, and jewelry to patterned towels and pillowcases. Many of their goods also follow a specific theme such as "home" states, college greek life, and sports teams. No matter the subject matter, their style is distinctively preppy—think pearls and bows, nautical patterns, and seersucker hats.
