Embroidered Textiles Care Guide
Care Tips for Embroidered Textiles
To extend the longevity of your embroidered towel, follow these care tips:
– Wash in cold water with a mild detergent.
– Avoid bleach, and harsh chemicals.
– Air dry.
– Iron on the reverse side if necessary, avoiding direct heat on the embroidery.
NB: When new, the embroidered product may contain traces of plastic film protecting embroidery – this dissolves after first wash.

Personalization Guide
Do you need help creating a custom gift?
Personalisation Guide
Personalise Your Item
Thoughtfully embroidered, beautifully yours. This guide will help you create a personalised item that looks refined, stitches perfectly, and lasts for years.
Step 1: Choose Your Item
Select your preferred style, colour, and size. Our items are chosen for their superior quality, durability, and suitability for fine embroidery.
Step 2: Choose Your Personalisation Type
You may personalise your towel with text, an image, or a combination of both.
A. Text Personalisation
Perfect for names, initials, dates, or short messages.
Text Requirements
- Maximum length: Up to 15 characters recommended for best balance
Tips for a Luxury Finish
- Initials or single names feel timeless and elegant
- Short words embroider more crisply than long phrases
- Consider tone-on-tone thread for a subtle look, or contrast for a statement
B. Image or Logo Personalisation
Ideal for crests, symbols, line drawings, or small logos.
Image Requirements
To ensure clean, high-quality embroidery, please upload images that meet the following:- File types: JPG, PNG, or PDF
- Resolution: High-resolution clear pictures recommended
- Style: Simple, clear designs with defined lines.
- Background: Transparent or plain background preferred
- Size: Fine details should not be smaller than 2–3 mm when stitched
What Works Best
- Line art
- Simple icons or symbols
- Minimalist logos
- Bold shapes with limited detail.
See examples below:




What May Need Adjusting
- Highly detailed illustrations
- Very thin lines or small text
- NB – We do not accept photographs or highly realistic detailed images.
If your image needs refinement, we will advise before production.
These images will require more time to be digitized, and will incur additional costs as well. See examples below:



Step 3: Pricing Guide for Personalisation
Embroidery pricing depends on the complexity of the design and the time required to digitise and stitch it.
Text Embroidery (Simple)
- Names, initials, or short messages
- One font, one thread colour
Included or priced at a basic personalisation rate – R 150 + cost of item
Simple Image Embroidery
- Minimal detail
- Limited stitch count
- Few colour changes
Priced at a lower image personalisation tier – R 200 + cost of item
Complex Image Embroidery
- High detail or intricate designs
- Multiple colours
- Logos requiring custom digitising
Priced at a higher complexity tier due to additional digitising and stitching time – Enquire for price
Note: Once your image is reviewed, you will be informed of the applicable tier before embroidery begins.
Step 4: Proof & Approval
For image-based or complex designs, a digital proof may be provided for approval. Production begins only once approval is confirmed.
Step 5: Production & Care
Each piece is embroidered to order with care and attention. As personalised items are made especially for you, they are not eligible for return unless faulty upon dispatch. Please refer to our full care guide for more detail on how to care for your item.

We have launched!
Welcome to Oh! What a Gift!
Gifting has always been more than a transaction — it is an expression of care, thought, and connection. Yet in a world of rushed moments and generic options, truly meaningful gifts have become rare.
At Oh! What a Gift!, we believe that the most beautiful gifts are intentional. They carry emotion, reflect individuality, and are shaped by human hands rather than mass production. Our work is rooted in heritage craftsmanship, bold artistic expression, and a love for embroidery that has been passed down through generations.

/This space is where we share the stories behind our stitches — the inspiration behind our designs, the artistry of embroidery, and thoughtful ideas for gifting with meaning. It is a place for those who value beauty, creativity, and the quiet luxury of something made just for one person.
Whether you are here to find inspiration, understand our process, or explore the art of intentional gifting, we’re honoured to have you. Welcome to a community where every stitch tells a story, and every gift is created with purpose.
