Religious Events

Many orders are placed to commemorate events of a religious theme.  Over the years we have expanded our artwork to accommodate major religious milestones.  Use our religious clipart section to augment your personalized text, bible verse, or vows.

Listed below are 4 life events that touch people of all faiths and creeds and for which we do a considerable amount of engraving.

Birth / Baptism:

Mark this wonderful occasion with a personalized item engraved with the date etched deeply into a glass candle, plate, or bell.  Over the years this item will be looked at often and bring joy to the recipient.

Confirmation: 

We are often requested to engrave Confirmation Verses into crystal / marble bibles, glass candles, or plaques.    By deep etching this important verse into a beautiful item of your choice the conformant will be reminded of this important day forever.

Wedding Vows:

What better way to remember your vows to each other than by having them engraved into a plate, candle or other gift item.  We can even incorporate your wedding artwork theme into the design through our custom artwork program.

In Memorial:

As time passes so do many of our friends and family, keep them close to you by engraving a memorial to them.  Include a short verse that that was dear to them or simply a statement of how much they meant to you.  Of course they will never be forgotten, but having a beautiful item adorn your home, they will be always near.

Valentine Gift Ideas

Valentine’s Day is only 2 weeks away!  The most thoughtful gifts are those that are meaningful to the recipient and well planned.    Below are some examples of personalized gifts that combine clipart, a meaningful saying and a beautiful gift.

 Examples from clients.

“Two souls, one heart.”

 

“Grow old with me!  The best is yet to be.”

“A hundred hearts would be too few
To carry all my love for you.”

“Love means nothing in tennis, but it’s everything in life.”

“The best thing about me is you.”

 Not sure what to say?  

Pick up your high school or college literature book, there are sure to be poems by Keats or Wordsworth, that may not have had any meaning to you years ago, but now may help you express your feelings.   If you can’t find your book go online, there are hundreds of sites with famous quotes and sayings.  To give you a leg up here are 5 sites that might be useful.

What do I give?

We get feed back from our clients saying how much they loved the engraved vase or bottle we did for them.  So we know that engraved gifts are very memorable and well received.  Combine your personal sentiment with some artwork and choose an item which you know they will like and you are creating a truly unique and personalized gift that will be remembered for years.  However one thing to remember when giving gifts, “Every gift which is given, even though it be small, is in reality great, if it is given with affection.”

Top Trends in Personalized Gift Giving

The overlying trend in personalized gift giving has been that gifts have become very personal. Instead of just the usual awards engraved with a name and a date we are receiving orders demanding a much more personal touch. Listed below are 5 examples of these trends.

Poems…many people are are placing orders to have their original poems or other poetry engraved in crystal vases, marble plaques, plates, and wine bottles. These poems are often romantic or heartfelt poems honoring a family member or other loved one. And although we do not charge by letter or line, there is an additional charge when we engrave a 25 line poem rather than the usual 4-5 lines of text.

Engraved Caricatures…in 2010 we created a new line introducing engraved caricatures. Customers can simply email us a picture and our caricature artist will create a sketch. We’ll send you an email proof and fine tune the caricature, once the design has been finalized we will engrave and hand paint the caricature into wine bottles or black marble plaques. Although this is a new product line we have had tremendous success. In 2011 we look forward to expanding this line.

Personalized Glassware / Mugs…people no longer seem to be content with mugs and wine glasses with the standard “World’s Greatest Boss.” Today they prefer to write their own message; “Jamey, you are the best boss, thanks for your help with the ‘Magic Project.’” We are happy to engrave personalized messages in all types of glassware.

Engraved Vases…beautiful vases are hard to find and even harder to find if you want to have something engraved on them. The vase has to provide an area large enough to allow for engraving and be designed well. We’ve been expanding our vase line over the past 3 years and currently
