WEDDING 2014
ABOUT BESPOKE CUSTOM GIFTS BespokeCustomGifts.com is a distinctive e-commerce site that offers a fresh, modern take on personalized gifts, curated from up-and-coming artisans and the cream of vendors. The site was founded by Jill Kirchner Simpson, an interior design writer for such style-setting magazines as In Style and House Beautiful; iconic companies such as Ralph Lauren, Eileen Fisher and Martha Stewart; and co-author of ten books for talented designers such as Alexa Hampton and Mary Emmerling. She turned her editorial eye to e-commerce when she couldn’t find a one-stop online destination for custom-made, meaningful, one-of-a-kind gifts. Bespoke Custom Gifts is about more than just monograms: We offer gifts that are made personal in both traditional and unexpected ways—such as maps, zip codes, photographs and motifs. Our range of items includes crisp modern designs as well as hard-to-find classics. From one-of-a-kind wedding and anniversary gifts made unique with the couple’s name and wedding details, to beautiful and thoughtful bridesmaids and groomsmen gifts, to pretty and witty shower gifts, Bespoke is filled with meaningful and unique gifts for their special day. Please visit www.bespokecustomgifts.com to see many other great gift ideas for every occasion. Contact: Staci Dolgin-Rubinstein, SDR Communications, 847-549-0712; staci@sdr-communications.com
