What to engrave on a gift.

You buy a gift but want to personalise it with a special message.

What can you say? What should you say?

Convey a message of love or friendship or make something that will bring a smile. Whatever you choose we have here a selection of messages and useful sites that can give you the best verses, quotes and words to engrave.

Engraved Gifts

When deciding what to have engraved on a gift, your first thought should be what size is the gift.

If the gift is small the text will need to be shorter.

One example cufflinks are about 1cm or 1.5cm. Therefore, on a cufflink you would just add someones initials.

On a trinket box a square of say 5cm x 5cm gives you a few more options for words. Draw yourself the shape of the gift on a piece of paper using the sizes of the gift and write inside the shape you have drawn what you want to say, if it looks too cramped then re-think what you want to say.

Messages that mean something

Write words that are personal to you and the recipient

You could just simply say the name of the recipient then a short message such as 'Happy Birthday' add to that 'love from' then your name.

However if you have some more space you could add a short message like the ones below...

BABY MESSAGES

Welcome to the world, little one.
We've been waiting for you!

They fill our lives with laughter and love;
They're God's special gift from heaven above.

A baby is God's opinion that the world should go on.
-Carl Sandburg

BIRTHDAY MESSAGES

Hoping your birthday
Will be as special as you are

May your birthday be unforgettable

Another year older, another year wiser.
Have a great Birthday!

FRIENDSHIP

Truly good friends are hard to find,
Difficult to leave,
And impossible to forget.

Some friends come and go
But true friends leave footprints on our hearts.

MESSAGES OF LOVE

Is every kiss
supposed to feel
like our first?

I Love You
More Than
Chocolate.

To the one
who still gives
me butterflies

I will
ALWAYS
be there
for you.

Make my dreams come true.
Will you marry me?

The best and most beautiful things
cannot be seen or even touched.
They must be felt with the heart.

When you touched my hand for the first time
I wanted nothing more than to hold it forever.

All my heart, all my love,
for the rest of our lives.

"Our love is timeless"

"I've fallen in love many times
...always with you."

"You hold the key to my heart."

"Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodes."
- Aristotle

When you realize you want to spend
the rest of your life with someone,
you want the rest of your life to start
as soon as possible.

You + Me = Meant To Be

With you I can be strong, I can be weak,
I can be courageous, I can be afraid,

I found you! My missing piece!

Love is like a box of chocolates.
You never know what you're going to get.
I'm lucky - I got you!

"You're the ying to my yang"

"Be who you are and say what you feel because
those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind."
- Dr. Seuss

"The best thing about me is YOU!"

"Everything I love is everything you are."

MOTHERS DAY

A mother holds her children's hands for a little while
But she holds their hearts forever.

Of all the blessings in heaven and earth,
There is none more beautiful than a mother's love.

There is no greater treasure in life
Than to have a mom like you!

With love on Mother's Day
And always.

My mother, my friend
I love you always.

"There is no limit to the love a mother's heart can hold."

"MOTHER: The definition of unconditional love"

God could not be everywhere
so he created mothers.

FATHERS DAY MESSAGES

Every kid should have a hero to look up to.
Thanks for being mine. I love you, dad.

A Father is someone you look up to
No matter how tall you are.

Some Dad's can do it all.
Thanks for being on of 'em!

Dad, I'm the father I am
because you're the father you were.
Happy Father's Day.

Anyone can be a father.
It takes someone special to be a dad.
Love you, dad

WEDDING MESSAGES AND THANK YOU MESSAGESS

Love is not measured in moments of time,
but in timeless moments.

Two lives joined in friendship,
two hearts joined in love.

Forever is never long enough
for two souls in love.
