Personalized Engraved Gifts
Engraved Stones: These unique engraved river rocks are the perfect gift and come in many sizes. You can get pocket word stones for inspiration, tiny phrase stones, paperweight size engraved stones and larger garden stones that are perfect for engraving and look great in a garden or on a porch. You can customize any of these engraved rocks with a personal name, phrase, picture or border. The water flows down a hanging piece of slate (engraved or not) creating soothing water sounds. Water flows and recirculates from a copper basin with these engraved slate fountains. I have seen many of these great tabletop fountains given as wedding or anniversary gifts as well with the couples names and date engraved on the slate.
Personalized Wind Chimes: Give the gift that lasts with a wind chime.
Bean Bag Chair: A bean bag is perfect for kids and adults alike.
Fountain: Although a little expensive for a gift, an engraved slate wall fountain is absolutely beautiful and will provide relaxing water sounds and add beauty to any office or home decor.
Tips on Creating Engraved Gifts
When you make an engraved gift you have endless choices. Here are some tips to insure success with your project.
- The possibilities are endless glass, acrylics, silver, plastic, wood, crystal, brass, to name just a few.
- Glass ware make for a great gift and can be engraved well. They can be impressive engraved gifts and still inexpensive.
- Picture frames are also creative and can have that personal message engraved on them to make a truly special gift. Candle sticks, serving bowls, and clocks the possibilities are only limited by your imagination. The on line stores offer a large selection of gifts awards and trophies You can have other things engraved to make special gifts like baseball bats, flatware and platters.
It is recommended that you have the piece professionally engraved with computer driven laser engraving technology. The laser produces a sharp clean image and can engrave logos, portraits, art work and text on the piece for a stunning effect. Make sure you choose your text and art work carefully. You will have a number of options to choose from as far as the font used for the text.
