Monogram Gifts for Dad
The Romans and Greeks used monograms on coins to identify their rulers, and royalty used the ornate initials as a sort of signature. In the Victorian format, the first initial of the first name lies on the left with the first initial of the middle name on the right and the larger initial of the last name in the middle. Monogramming a gift for dad personalizes an item in a very special and elegant manner.
