What to write on a personalised gift

You are here:

Find the perfect gift and personalise it with any message. Sounds simple, right? It is... until you have to actually decide the exact words you want to engrave!

Do you want to be funny, or meaningful? Or perhaps simplicity is the way - adding straightforward names and dates. It will of course be driven by WHO you are buying for and the type of item you are personalising.

Photo Frames:

Usually names and dates are used on photo frames as well as children's handwriting which is especially suited to this product. Private 'hidden' messages can also be engraved on the rear of the frames.
