Social media platforms provide wonderful tools to connect us to our world. Childhood friends, high-school classmates, college pals are all just a click away on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and the like. Many argue that these surface relationships mask the need for true intimacy and bonding on a deeper level. So one of our resolutions in 2014 is to get personal.  Really personal. More lunches with girl-friends. More dinner parties with neighbors. Get back into that book club. And more phone calls to connect about your latest adventure instead of just viewing the photos through social media. And to make our friends feel special, we’ll be using personal touches, like our monogrammed cups. Whether you are planning a 50th birthday party, giving them as a house-warming gift, or want to welcome a new neighbor to the block, nothing says “I put thought into this gift” like a monogram. Make 2014 the year you make life more personal.

Happy New Year from me&re design!
