What to put on personalised gifts

For some of us words come easy, so creating a beautiful sentimental statement or something that only you and your best friend will understand isn’t much bother. However, for the rest of us humble individuals it’s a bit harder to do, but don’t fret, you’ve come to the right place!

Luckily, we have been dealing with hand-crafted and personalised gifts for half a decade and can help you craft the perfect quote!

Here we have some great examples for you to peruse to get the creative juices flowing that’ll turn a simple gift into a well-loved keepsake!

Rude & Amusing

No judgments at the Coach House Forge!

We’ve seen many a naughty message on a bookmark or bowl but we understand that we all have out own unique sense of humour.

Putting one of these private jokes on a gift can be just what’s needed to remind ourselves that there is more to life than being so serous all the time. No mater how silly, personal, or rude we will stamp it!

Whether you are being hilarious or silly with your gorgeous gift, the play on words can also fit with the gift you are giving.

Many of our customers choose to use ‘Steel’ instead of ‘still’, cuz they sounds similar to say.

The examples below best explain this…

Things to put on a BOOKMARK

“You’re the text to my page”

“I like where this story is going”

“Chapter Six!”

“I love you my Bookworm

“Sarah, put the book down and get naked! xxx”

If you want a loving feeling with your message, don’t hold back.

“You’re STEEL the one for me!”

“You are everything I didn’t know I needed!”

“If I know what love is, it is because of you.”

“Until the stars go out and we are dust.”

Or if you’re feeling really confident of what you both feel, this is the most self-assured message we’ve ever seen:

“We’re already sick of each other, it’s the best!”

Lyrics, Song and Poetry

Remember that time you first met, when that song was playing, ‘your song’?

Why mess with the best. We all have our favourite songs, so why bother trying to improve on that!? Just say it with a song lyric.

“You are the one and only”- Chesney Hawkes

“A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies. The man who never reads lives only one”- George, RR Martin

“You have bewitched me, body and soul, and I love, I love, I love you.”- Mr Darcy (Pride and Prejudice)

“Some day, when I’m awfully low

When the world is cold

I will feel a glow just thinking of you

And the way you look tonight.”

– Song lyrics most recently sung by Michael Bublé

“till the sun grows cold and the stars grow old”- Not Shakespeare but American poet Bayard Taylor

Facts and Dates

If that’s all too overwhelming, then just stick with what you know (or should know)!

Nothing says more personal than dates and places, and the gift could evermore serve as a reminder of those dates that with each anniversary become a little hazier!

Popular arrangements of personalised information can be;

First Names, or Initials and a date, or simply just a date.

HOT TIP: Digital Dates , like 01.01.21 are great but remember in which part of the globe you are, sometimes the first number is the month or the day.

If you want something a bit little old-school fancy, why not write the date in Roman Numerals?!!

Now we have Google to answer all our technological questions, place coordinates are being used to personalise gifts. Perhaps put on the place you met or where you got married or had your first date?

Some people are very exact and scientific with their personalisation, like this example below. If we can fit it on then knock yourself out!

6 Years, 2,191 days, 52,584 Hours, 3,155,040 Minutes, 189,302,400 Seconds

If you still can’t find the right words keep it simple . We have a heart and infinity knot symbols, or can hammer a cross or musical notes using tools.

Whatever you choose to say, this unique gift will be a personal treasure.
