If you’re a monogram lover like me, I’ve found a must-have item you’ll want to get your hands on—and no, it’s not a towel or a bag. A few weeks ago, I was searching for a unique client gift and remembered something I had come across that felt just right: a laser-cut monogram ice cube tray from Siligrams. It was the perfect blend of personal and practical. Naturally, as someone who loves a good monogram (and is a bit of an ice cube snob), I couldn’t resist ordering one for myself, too.
Now, before you start thinking, “Who needs monogrammed ice cubes?”—let me explain.
One of my favorite restaurants on Long Island makes their cocktails with these oversized, crystal-clear ice cubes. And if you’re a cocktail aficionado, you know the last thing you want is a watered-down drink. Ever since my first visit, I’ve been hooked on the look—and function—of these giant ice cubes. They’re chic, they melt slowly, and yes, they’re totally Instagram-worthy.
During my search for the perfect gift, Siligrams kept popping up on Instagram, and I finally decided to check them out. Their selection didn’t disappoint. Not only are their silicone trays made in the U.S., but everything is completely customizable. You can add initials, and logos, choose your font and monogram style, and even select the size and shape of your ice—cube or sphere. I went with the medium-sized cubes and had my initials, VES, laser-cut into the tray.
When my order arrived, I was so excited to both gift it to my client and try out my own. I followed the instructions to wash the tray and discard the first batch of ice (in case any laser-cut fibers lingered). Then came the moment of truth: my monogrammed ice cubes turned out better than I could’ve imagined. The initials were crisp and clean, and the medium cubes were just the right size. My client was equally impressed and plans to use theirs at their next party!
If you’ve got a cocktail lover in your life—or are one yourself—these custom trays from Siligrams are the ultimate drink upgrade. I snagged mine during a sale, but honestly, they’re so well-made that I’d pay full price without hesitation. And they don’t just stop at cocktail cubes! Siligrams also makes molds for popsicles, candy, soap, candles—you name it, they can monogram it.
So go ahead, and elevate your happy hour. Your drinks (and your Instagram feed) will thank you!
