Melissa’s Custom Gifts

Specialties

Melissa’s Custom Gifts is Austin’s and the University of Texas’ Sorority and Fraternity boutique, providing custom gifts & group orders for Bid Day, Big/​Little, Initiation, Round Up, date events, and even bridal showers and alumnae teas.

Sorority is what we do. Our sorority specialists and stylists choose the products we carry, design the t-​shirts we print, and even coach & blog about sorority recruitment & events. All of our merchandise is handpicked by students for students and 15% of profits are returned to sororities to donate to their philanthropies!

In addition to specializing in exceeding the fourteen Texas Panhellenic sororities’s Bid Day, Initiation, & Big/​Little expectations, Melissa’s also provides custom painting, embroidery & in-​house screen printing services. Our goal from the beginning has been to do something fun and lasting that will give back to the UT community and the national sororities that are such a big part of our lives.

Additionally, we have a full paddle and letter selection and can host paddle making events for whole pledge classes. Melissa’s can embroider, hand paint and customize much of our product line.

History

Established in 2012.

Melissa’s Custom Gifts was conceptualized, design, and implemented by currently enrolled students at the University of Texas at Austin. The goal was establish a trend setting store that carried only what sorority women wanted and not all the items they do not. Additionally, 15% of the profits of the store are returned to the sororities to give to their philanthropies each year.
