» gif t g uid e 2016 Making It Personal So thoughtful! Gift family and friends with something customized just for them. PHOTO BY BEAUTIESANDBABIES Jodi Feld | Special to the Jewish News COUP SHOP BLAKE RUBY While living in Atlanta, Detroit-native Alison Weiner was inspired by the custom cheerleading gear she saw her neighbor sewing. She was also missing the boutique clothing she loved shopping for while living in NYC, so Alison started Shop Blake Ruby, named after her daughter. T-shirts, tank tops, jean jackets, flannels and leggings come in sizes newborn to adult and can be customized to your liking. Personalize with your kids’ favorite princesses, MLB players, school or superheroes. The possibilities are endless — our favorites are the family sets. $25 and up. Etsy. com/shop/blakeruby or follow her on Instagram @shopblakeruby. Perfect for the vegan/ yogi/musician in your life and favored by Madonna, Giada De Laurentis and Real Housewives, Coup’s trademarked “Lettuce Turnip the Beet” products are super soft, and come in a variety of colors and styles. These conversation starters are hand silk screened in two types of vin- tage prints and make fabulous gifts for a wide range of demo- graphics and ages (newborn-adult). The shop offers upgrades for gift wrapping, too, so not only do they promote healthy eating habits and do-gooding, but Coup will save your fingers from papercuts, too! Most styles are ready to ship 1-2 days from pay- ment. The top-selling kid’s tee is made to order and ships about 3-5 days after production. $17 and up. Coup.etsy.com. TAILGATE TAILORED Rips and cold shoulders are having a fashion moment, and so are these custom snipped sweatshirts and tees. New Jersey-native Sharri Hyams’ background is in fashion and she has been making clothes forever, but she started Tailgate Tailored last year when her daughter was a senior in high school. She cuts up muscle tees, sweatshirts and flannels, creating a unique item for each customer. And although she favors MSU goods, where her daughter is a freshman, she’s happy to shred, lace, stud and acid wash a shirt from any school. She also custom makes on-trend chokers and bracelets, and has recently expanded into spirit wear and clothing for teams and moms, too. We can’t wait to rock a studded sweatshirt from our alma mater. Jewelry starts at $15; custom tees and sweatshirts start at $42. Tailgatetailored.bigcartel.com. 28 December 1 • 2016 THE STITCHED CO. Let the Wild Rumpus start!
