August 26th, 2015 by Andre Nehme
Trendy gifts are an obvious choice when you are looking for something that stands out, makes a statement and appeals to the recipient. Unfortunately, however, some of the trendiest gifts will also fade as they become outdated just a few years into the future.
The best choice for an unforgettable gift that can last is to choose something with a timeless design and a hint of contemporary style. Having it engraved simply goes the extra mile to ensure that the recipient keeps and remembers the gift [...]Read More Jul

Who Wouldn’t Love a Bouquet in a Beautiful Engraved Vase?
July 28th, 2015 by Andre Nehme
Perhaps the most common gift for a friend, hostess or loved one is flowers. A bouquet of flowers is sweet, thoughtful and widely appreciated, making it an obvious choice.
Unfortunately, showing up with a bouquet of flowers wrapped in plastic creates a minor dilemma for the recipient: Is there a vase somewhere, and do I now have to go rooting through cupboards to find it?
Instead of delivering just half of the perfect gift, complete it by presenting the recipient with both a dazzling bouque [...]Read More Jun

Extraordinary Anniversary Gifts for the Couple Who Has Everything
June 24th, 2015 by Andre Nehme
Unlike wedding gifts, which are designed to help a couple create their home together, anniversary gifts are a little trickier. Not only do you not have a registry to help guide your purchases, but you're also likely buying gifts for a couple that already has everything they need.
If you're trying to find the perfect anniversary gift for a great couple in your life, forget about what they need and look for things that they want, but wouldn't necessarily buy for themselves.

Do You Have a Large Amount of Text to Engrave?
April 24th, 2014 by Andre Nehme
You would be surprised at how often we receive orders with large amounts of text. When we first started engraving, it seemed that people would request us to engrave a name & date, perhaps a line saying Congratulations or Happy Birthday. However now the trend is definitely towards longer texts. In part this is probably due to technology, with computer generated images, lasers and better stencil materials, engravers are able to accommodate these type of requests quite easily.
So h [...]Read More Jan

Je t’aime forever
January 20th, 2014 by Andre Nehme
Over the years, I am proud to say we’ve developed a base of loyal customers. Some clients are very predictable and you could almost set your clock by them. In November I am always confident that right after Halloween, Tracy will place her Christmas Orders, the products change, but her timing is the same. In December one company always orders wine bottles for it’s clients, and in January a non profit always orders the same type of gold plates. To our small business these repeat cus [...]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
