They're your partners in crime, your wingmen and they've always stood up for you. But this time, they'll be doing it on your big day (literally). So show your groomsmen some true appreciation with these classy Monogrammable Beer Mugs.

This set of four glasses comes with a hand-etched single initial monogram, giving it that personal touch. Choose either double old-fashioned glasses or tall beer mugs depending on their drink of choice: beer loving buddy gets the mugs and scotch-connoisseur pal gets the tumblers. It's a great way to thank them for that all-out bachelor party they threw you.

You already know Dad's going to be manning the grill on Father's Day. There's something about cooking over the flames that speaks to a guy's primal instincts.

He can proudly wear it all summer long without smothering his #1 Dad shirt with barbecue sauce. Throw in a cookbook and other grilling accessories to make Dad feel like the grill king!

Right now every girl across the country is asking herself one thing: What am I going to wear to see Sex and the City: the Movie? Silly? Perhaps. But diehard SATC fans have been waiting four years for the show to hit the big screen. If you have a BFF who's dying to know whether Carrie marries Big or if Samantha has finally settled down, whet her appetite with these inspired gifts.

If she's the Carrie of the group, she'll love bringing back the nameplate yet again with a Personalized Script Name Necklace made just for her.

Every true fan needs her own hand-painted martini glass for—what else?—cosmos. This shopaholic one is perfect for Manolo addicts.

If you can't afford to get her Jimmy Choos, these fabulous (and more affordable) triple-strap pumps are sure to turn heads.

Not everyone has a Magnolia Bakery right around the corner. But assorted dozen cupcakes from Mrs. Beasleys should more than suffice.

Now all she needs is her very own Mr. Big. 

I like giving monogrammed gifts because they add a personal touch to something store-bought. So you can bet I'll be ordering this I Heart You Monogrammed Baby Blanket for all the itty-bitty newborns on my list.

This cute cotton blankie is covered in pretty colored hearts with a plush "ChicMink" inside. As for the monogram, it's not your typical set of L.L. Bean initials.  The hand-sewn felt polka dot features just a single letter in a hip, modern font.  Best of all, the blanket comes wrapped in a yellow grosgrain ribbon with a personalized name tag.  I have a stack of birth announcements with new babies staring at me, and this gift has their name written all over it.

A perfect Father's Day for me includes a few hours on the golf course with other dads whose families are gracious enough to give them the afternoon off. And there's nothing better than getting to the first tee looking like you know what you're doing with with some new clubs, a fresh golf shirt and personalized golf balls, like the Nike One Platinum Golf Balls.

Okay, so they don't automatically avoid sand traps or guarantee a round in the low 70s, but they'll definitely add an element of style to his game. I always say, it's really hard to play good, but not too tough to LOOK good — and these golf balls will give him some Father's Day flair on the course.

Back when I was in school, only the naughty kids had their names written on the board. But now it's a good thing to have your name on the board — a chalkboard mug, that is.

The #1 Teacher Chalk Talk Message Mug is a unique and clever way to send a message to a favorite teacher this Teacher's Day. Forget greeting cards, your kids will want to sign their names on this cool mug to show their appreciation for their teachers in a way that leaves a more lasting impression. Have any three lines you choose etched on the front of the mug, so the sentiment will remain even after washings. Way better than a standard apple, the Chalk Talk Message Mug will be a big hit with your kids' teachers!

This year on Take Your Daughter to Work Day (April 24), make your daughter feel like a little professional right along with you! No, I'm not suggesting you give her a Blackberry and a business suit, but this cute Tiara Notepad will get her in the spirit while still reflecting her personal style.

Personalize it with her name to make her feel extra special. And just remember — if she asks for a raise by the end of the day, the answer is always: "Let's wait until your 6-month review."

Back in the day, my trusty ol' Chucks saw me through everything—nasty breakups, middle-school dances, sneaky (no pun intended) excursions. And though I don't consider my worn-in high-tops very fashionable, it seems Converse's go-to shoe is making a chic comeback with the kids.

So what's the newest sneak on the block? These awesome Design Your Own Chuck Taylor All Star Youth Low. Youngsters can actually create their own kicks to fit their personality, from Trendanista (pink "leopard print" + lime green tongue = perfect fit) to All-Star Athlete (try uniform-matching colors on for size). Hey, if the shoe fits!

I had my share of pink plastic baskets and faux grass back in the day. But things have improved since then. This Easter, give these sweet Personalized Pink and Blue Bunny Baskets instead. The soft plush totes feature the face of a cute bunny and the most charming gingham ears (pink for girls, blue for boys, of course). There's even room for the child's name on one of the rabbit ears. They're the perfect thing to fill with cuddly toys and goodies like what you'll find in our Easter Gift Guide.
