Personalized Kitchen Aprons

Personalized Aprons: The Perfect Gift for Your Favorite Chef

Personalized aprons are a wonderful addition to any chef's collection - and whether your favorite cook is working on perfection in the kitchen or is already there, these custom aprons for cooking make an ideal gift.

Solid-Colored Personalized Aprons

Choose from a wide range of colors to find your favorite chef the perfect apron for everyday use. Bright, festive colors like reds and blues are fabulous attention-grabbers, while muted tones like gray and neutral taupe are designed for low-key kitchen or grill operations. You can pick a shade that matches your colorful kitchen linens or something that creates contrast for a more dramatic look. Choose one with or without a pocket and pick your personalization to completely customize this outside-the-box gift.

Striped and Patterned Custom Aprons for Cooking

Horizontal and vertical stripes are fun and playful, so if that matches your favorite chef's personality, you already know that a striped custom apron for cooking is the perfect gift. You can personalize these pocketed aprons with embroidery in your choice of fonts, making them ideal for birthdays, holidays, anniversaries and other special occasions.

Kids' Personalized Aprons

Encourage culinary exploration with a kids' personalized apron from Williams Sonoma. Available in a wide range of colors and styles, these children's aprons are a wonderful way to get your little ones interested and engaged in the kitchen.

What to Look for in a Personalized Apron

When you're shopping for an apron for yourself or someone else, these are the features to look for:

• 100 percent cotton construction, which makes them easy to clean and easy to care for
• An adjustable neckband that ensures a great fit for anyone
• Roomy front pockets that can hold small kitchen tools, recipes and more
• Machine washable fabric so you can clean up spills, splashes and drips
• Personalized monogramming with up to nine characters

Tips for Choosing the Right Apron for Anyone

Use these tips to choose the right apron for yourself or someone else:

• Put purpose first. An apron for someone who grills frequently may need to be thicker than one for a baker - and it needs to be made from durable material that can stand up to grease splatters.
• Think about mobility. The longer an apron is, the more it can hinder mobility in the kitchen. Usually, a mid- to upper-thigh-length apron is perfect for culinary use.
• Consider style. Make sure the apron you choose is something the wearer will love - otherwise, it'll hang inside the pantry without seeing the light of day.

Choosing personalized aprons for yourself, friends or family members is easy when you know what you're looking for - and because they're not run-of-the-mill gifts, yours will really stand out for birthdays, holidays and other special occasions.
