Pottery Barn offers lofty and light faux-mohair throws in a palette of soft hues, embroidered with an initial — perfect for summer's air-conditioned rooms. If Mom's lucky enough to have a quiet space of her own, consider giving her a lettered linen pillow or a pretty art piece with a monogrammed initial on linen, framed in alder wood. Simple, paperwhite-scented soaps etched with Mom's initial would make a nice-smelling gift for her bathroom.

Or consider an initialed acacia-wood bath caddy, with spots for a beverage, phone, and an e-reader or book. A luxurious linen throw can be embroidered with either hot-pink or lime-green thread. Or get really creative: Come up with everybody's favourite things about the family matriarch, then order a personalized love letter on canvas for her that's titled "Dear Mom."

San Francisco designer Jennifer Morla offers her signed typographic giclee prints exclusively through personalized gift retailer Mark & Graham. She composes her pieces using a variety of fonts and midcentury elements.

Also at Mark & Graham are linen shower curtains, chambray pillow shams, and a selection of totes for Mom to take to work, tennis or weekends at the cottage.

Company spokesman Michelle Bowler says the newest monograms have a fresh, refined look. "Our library's top sellers are balanced between modern and classic designs. Sans-serif fonts like Neutra, and single letter initials are popular," she says.

People are also adding their own elements like dashes, dots, lines, circles and parentheses.
