To inspire meaningful memories through bespoke, quality embroidered pieces and custom gifts that celebrate life’s cherished moments.

Thistle Gifts began as Initial Creations in 2016, a passion project between mother and daughter, Julia Barwick and Sally Davis. At a turning point in her corporate career, Julia saw an opportunity to bring something meaningful to Atlanta: elevated, monogrammed gifts and linens that felt both personal and timeless.



In 2025, they launched Thistle Gifts to expand their offerings while staying true to what matters most: personalization, thoughtfulness, and design that endures.
From wedding days and baby gifts to hostess presents and everyday luxuries, we believe life’s meaningful moments deserve to be celebrated with care and intention. A personal touch transforms the ordinary into the unforgettable.



We go the extra mile to ensure every customer feels confident, cared for, and delighted with their purchase. Each piece is designed to bring lasting joy and never go out of style. We’re so glad you’re here. Join us on this joyful, personalized journey.
