What to give Dad this Father’s Day.
May 30th, 2017 by Andre Nehme
There will never be enough time or enough words to tell your father what he means to you. It may seem trivial to give a gift to a man who you owe so much and could never repay, but that's not what father's day is about. It's about taking a moment, just a slice of time to let your father know how important he as been in your life. Good or bad, he's had a huge influence in making you who you are. Even the smallest gift from a child is magnified beyond all proportions to a Fat [...]Read More Jul

How are you Celebrating World Whisky Day this Saturday?
May 14th, 2015 by Andre Nehme
World Whisky Day is May 16th and I've have to admit I've been counting down the days. Ever since I came across the official website a few months back, I've enjoyed reading the articles published on Whisky Wednesday, one in particular about a possible Bourbon shortage sent me running to my local liquor store to pick up a few extra bottles of Knob Creek, just in case. I also really enjoy the Around the world in 80 drams. I am so new to the lingo of drinking Whisky that I had to look up what a dram [...]Read More Aug

Thank your Internship Boss – with a personalized gift showing your appreciation
August 7th, 2014 by Andre Nehme
Ahh... the summer internship it’s probably over for most of you college students. Hopefully you had a great time and were able to gain some insight and valuable work experience. So now that it’s over, quick before it’s too late, write down what you’ve learned. Was it a waste of time? Did you just sit around and shred paper for some accounting firm? Or did an advertising company work you like a dog doing outside sales and pay you very little? Whatever the situation, you’ve ga [...]Read More May

Personalized-Engraved-Gifts: A Trip down Memory Lane
May 3rd, 2014 by Andre Nehme
Our website, personalized-engraved-gifts.com, was redesigned and went live last month. Keeping up with the times is not always easy and moving to a new website after 12 years is especially frustrating. It's like moving from a house you have lived in for decades, you don't realize how much stuff you have, how out of date it is, and of course the memories it brings back.
We launched personalized-engraved-gifts in 2002 right before the holidays, at that time we were one of the first engraver [...]Read More Apr

The Perfect Custom Engraved Gift for the Home Chef!
April 9th, 2014 by Andre Nehme
I don’t know about you, but in our house cooking is the main event. We enjoy trying different recipes and frequently use recipes from England, India, Thailand, Mexico, Germany Italy, the Middle East - and well basically all over the world.
One of the most annoying things is to be in the middle of cooking a complicated dish only to find out that a moderately hot oven is needed, what the heck is a moderately hot oven? Or better yet a British gas mark of of 5? Even simple calculations [...]Read More Mar

Teacher appreciation week will be here soon (the week of May 5th, 2014) and this year I must pay special attention.

Teacher Appreciation Week is an opportunity for parents, students, and school administrators to exp [...]Read More Mar

What is the difference between crystal and glass?
March 16th, 2014 by Andre Nehme

Engraved Wine Bottle’s for Car Clubs
March 5th, 2014 by Andre Nehme
De Tomaso, Lamborghini, Porsche, BMW, Maserati and Ferrari what an action packed line up! Just the names of these car manufacturers makes you feel young, fast, and powerful! Obviously nothing could be further from the truth in my case, but I am proud to say that although I don’t own any of these fantastic vehicles, I actually drive a 2007 Ford Escape, I know many people who do and have had the chance to see these cars in action on numerous occasions. They are truly remarkable machines. [...]Read More Nov

It’s not all about the Holidays – Happy Anniversary!
November 26th, 2013 by Andre Nehme
As soon we clear Halloween and turn back the clocks it seems as though the holidays are at the top of everyone minds. But this is not entirely true. In looking through some recent sales data, I was surprised to see how many gifts we engraved celebrating Anniversaries. Just this week alone we engraved 3 cheese boards for 5th anniversary gifts as well as 2 pepper grinder sets. (By the way wooden gifts still seem to be the traditional 5th wedding anniversary gift). We also engraved a [...]Read More Nov
