When you hear “Christmas in July,” you probably picture Christmas music in the middle of summer or stores putting ornaments on display months before the holidays.
But there’s actually a very practical reason for it.
July is one of the best times to start thinking about your holiday gifts, whether you’re shopping for family, friends, employees, or clients. Planning ahead gives you more options, less stress, and plenty of time to create something truly personal.
At In Stitches, we’re already helping customers get a head start, and this year we’re especially excited to introduce a brand-new gift option.

Personalized Gifts Make the Biggest Impression
Anyone can grab a last-minute gift card.
The gifts people remember are the ones that were created just for them.
That’s why we’re excited to offer custom laser-etched purses. These beautiful purses can be personalized with names, initials, business logos, meaningful artwork, or custom designs, creating a gift that’s both stylish and unique.
Whether you’re shopping for:
- Mom
- A daughter
- A teacher
- Bridesmaids
- A friend
- A coworker
A personalized purse is something they’ll use long after the holidays are over.

With several colors available, it’s easy to create something that matches their personality.
Don’t Wait Until the Holiday Rush
Every year we see the same thing happen.
As November arrives, our production schedule fills quickly with holiday orders. The earlier you begin planning, the more choices you’ll have and the less stressful the season becomes.
Whether you’re ordering one personalized gift or outfitting an entire team, getting started now means you’ll avoid the holiday rush.
Custom Jackets Make Gifts They’ll Wear All Winter
Looking for a gift that’s both practical and professional?
Custom embroidered jackets are always one of our most popular holiday items. They’re perfect for:
- Employee appreciation
- Company holiday gifts
- Sports teams
- School staff
- Clubs and organizations
- Family reunions
Not only do they look great, but they’re something people actually use throughout the colder months.

Cozy Beanies and Custom Drinkware Make Great Stocking Stuffers
Sometimes it’s the smaller gifts that become everyday favorites.
Custom embroidered beanies and personalized drinkware make thoughtful gifts for employees, customers, family members, coaches, and volunteers.
They’re affordable, practical, and easy to personalize.
If you’re putting together holiday gift packages, these are always a popular addition.

Ask About Our Closeout Specials
