I'm here to help you start giving outside of the box. No more scented candles, bottles of wine or boring ties thrown into a gift bag. The Pink Pen is your go-to source for gift-giving ideas. What to give and how to give it - all tied up in one neat package right here.

If you're pressed for time, I also offer gift concierge services where I take care of all the details and you get all the thank you's. And as always, calligraphy and hand lettered signs continue The Pink Pen tradition.

  • Gift Guides & inspiration
  • Gift wrapping ideas & tips
  • Gift Concierge services
  • Calligraphy & Hand lettered signs

Birthdays, Mother's Day and the holidays aren't going anywhere, so let's get started.

Ever grateful,

Monica

💋 KISS...Keep It Simple, Santa. We’re coming into the home stretch and boxes need to get wrapped. Make it easier and pick a color palette - buy 2-3 large rolls of wrapping papers, 1-2 ribbon options and tags & notions to dress up packages. I’ve used red, green & white. Everything easily mixes and matches together and your packages instantly look festively coordinated & beautiful. I also pull in kraft paper tags and twine I typically use for birthdays and other occasions. #wrapstar #giftguru #giftconcierge #giftwrapservice #paperparty #kiss #keepitsimple #giftsformen #giftsforher #atx #atxblogger #satx #candycane #thepinkpen

That’s a wrap (with a personally hand lettered gift tag)! So much busy fun with @kendrascott clients today. I hope all the “to’s” love the goodies from their “from’s.” I’ll be back again next Saturday from 11-2. #kendrascott #lovelettered #letteredwithlove #calligraphy #atx #domain #domainaustin #thepinkpen

Two shopping weekends left until the big day. Personalization cut off times are fast approaching as well. Check out my Guide to Gifting over on the blog - the link is in my bio. I’ve thoughtfully curated several ideas to help you out. If you’re still puzzled, give me a holler and I can help personally find your presents. #giftguide #guidetogifting #giftconcierge #giftguru #holidayhelp #merryeverything #atx #atxblogger #satx #felizmodern #markandgraham #jonhart #shoplocal #shoplocalatx #target #thepinkpen

Personalized, novel & useful baggage wraps for all the jet setters on your list. These handy, velcro wraps replace the raggedy red or yellow ribbon tied onto your checked bag. A stylish way to spot your bag in a flash. You can find this idea and more in my Guide to Gifting - link in the bio. Hurry, @barringtongifts has a deadline of 12/16 for holiday delivery. You can also find these at specialty shops like @abientot713 & @shopckdesignsandboutique #jetsetter #travelgifts #giftguru #giftconcierge #barringtongifts #atxblogger #atx #satx #gifted #holidayhelp #personalizedgifts #thepinkpen

Gooood morning! If you saw my Instastories yesterday, you’ll know what I’m having for breakfast. 😉 This morning’s gift idea is this super sweet bone china “paper cup” set from @tiffanyandco. It’s fancy but not too serious. The set includes 2 cups so you can invite a friend over for cocoa & collagen. #giftguru #giftguide #giftconcierge #teafortwo #sofancyandfun #tiffanyandco #hotcocoa #atx #atxblogger #satx #gifted #thepinkpen

Sometimes less is more. Love a minimal look with a pine-y scent. #giftguru #minimalist #treetrimming #wrapitup #holidaycheer #giftconcierge #giftwrappingservice #atx #atxblogger #satx #thepinkpen
