Personalize It!

As we start a new year, January is the month that we break out the new calendar that Aunt Mary gives us every Christmas and start transferring all those special dates onto our new monthly pages.    Grandmas birthday, cousin Ricks graduation from college and Julies wedding this summer, etc...  You know the drill.

I don't know about you, but I start to get a little stressed when writing all of this down wondering what in the world am I going to get these people?  I mean, how many scarves, trinkets, can you get a person?   There's always the stand by of the "gift card".  But that seems so impersonal.  It doesn't take much thought to walk into a store and plop your money down at the cash register and pick out a gift card with a nice design.


I love the idea of personalized gifts.  It shows that the giver took some time and put some thought into the gift. And there are a multitude of items available now for personalizing!  For the guys out there looking for something special for their lady, what about an engraved silver keychain, a nice all around gift that is good for new couples as well as established relationships.  You can personalize your key chain with a beautiful monogram, a sweet sentiment, or what about a keychain that's also a picture locket?  That would be a really nice way to let's say, remember a fun vacation you two took last summer.  Put a couple of memorable pictures of your trip inside the key chain locket, add some personalization to the outside and it's a wonderful keepsake.

Another personalized gift idea would be a keepsake jewelry box.  That's a wonderful gift personalized with her name, or a short loving sentiment.   Us girls can always use a pretty jewelry box to store our accessories.

Don't forget about the moms!  Moms love pictures of their kids.  One of the most cherished gifts a mother can receive is an engraved photo locket.  Typically engraving is done on the inside of the locket.  One or both sides, depending on what you are wanting to say.  Put  a picture of  that smiling cherub in there and she's going to absolutely love it! 

Okay girls, now it's your turn.  What do you get your guy when he says he doesn't need anything, or gives you the old "you don't have to get me something"....  Guys can be a bit difficult to buy for sometimes.  One thing I know though, is that if you get him a nice personalized engraved gift, it's NOT going to end up in his sock drawer :)  Here's a few gift giving ideas for your man.

A simple and sweet gift is an engraved mens money clip.  He'll be carrying his money in style, ready to take you out on the town of course!  Personalize his money clip with a single bold initial, or a 3 letter monogram.  He'll love it!   

Something that has made a comeback for men this past year are personalized pocket watches  I remember when a pocket watch was basically something that I found when I was looking through my grandpas jewelry box.  I associated them with being "old fashioned."   Not true anymore.  With so many new modern styles, these elegant timepieces have made a come back.  



I love the look of the double dust cover skeleton pocket watch.  It boasts a stylish and contemporary look that is the perfect accessory for today's modern man.  Engraving can be done on both the front and back sides to create a timeless keepsake he'll have forever.

And let's not forget the golfer.  I know a lot of you ladies have a golf enthusiast in the house.  Forever practicing their putting skills on the living room carpet lol :)  Check out this stainless steel golfers flask. A unique twist on hip flasks that any golfer can appreciate.

Well, that's just a few ideas that I thought I'd throw out there to get your creative gift giving ideas flowing as you fill in all of those squares on your new calendar for 2012.  Head on over to see all of our engraved gifts that we're offering this year.  We're continuing to expand our line as we find new quality products so if you are looking for something particular that you haven't been able to find, shoot me an email lisa@engravedmemories.biz, let me know what you are trying to find and I'd be happy to assist you in creating a special gift for your special someone.
