When did people first start making and giving personalized gifts, cunning historians are silent. For example, American archaeologists recently found unusual decorative items with scrawled text in a cave of a primitive man in northern France. But whether these were gifts, hunting tools or a sign “No Trespassing” is a big question, since the quality of engraving in those distant times left much to be desired. We won’t guess, but rather we’ll tell you one interesting fact about the most generous personalized gift. According to ancient Roman legend, Mark Antony gave Cleopatra an entire island with luxurious beaches, washed by azure waters. However, the beauty was capricious and was upset that the grains of sand were too hard for her legs. Then Mark Anthony brought the most delicate sand from North Africa and ordered all the beaches to be filled with it for the sake of his beloved. What does it have to do with it personalized gifts, you ask? It's simple - the island was named after the queen!

In the history of Russia, our kings, of course, did not give islands to their beloved ones (the people did not allow them), but “God’s messengers” tried not to forget about gifts to their neighbors. Peter the Great was, as usual, one of the most original in this regard. There are references to the fact that he gave personal cast-iron medals, weighing about 7 kilograms, to those who especially distinguished themselves. But as a reward or punishment - decide for yourself. Another example is associated with Catherine II. Everyone knows that the empress had many favorites, whom she rewarded from time to time with luxurious gifts. But few people know that Catherine II was a fan, as they would say now, gifts with engravings. For example, Prince Grigory Potemkin was presented with a golden service with the image of the Empress, she presented her grandson Alexander with a saber with wise parting words, a case and glasses with the initials - Vice-Governor Novoseltsev, and there were also gloves, a carriage and even... a sleeping bed.

It should be noted that in those days, any inscriptions on products were signed (more precisely, scratched out) by the craftsman manually, which significantly increased the cost and production time. Therefore, afford exclusive personalized gifts often only aristocrats or representatives of the imperial dynasty could do so, who sought to stand out from society in any way, show their wealth and perpetuate the memory of themselves, their loved ones or the important event to which the gift was timed.

Since then, a lot has changed, technical progress has not stood still, now, after 200 years, our online store, using modern electronics, produces personalized gifts, accessible to absolutely everyone. The meaning of an engraved gift has also changed - people want to emphasize how dear a person is. Give something useful, with meaning, expressing bright feelings and sincere love. Although, to be honest, there are also plenty of “those who like to show off” in our lives...

Gifts with engraving - in beautiful packaging

Over the course of its existence, our company has tested many methods of engraving personalized gifts. Of course, like primitive people, we didn’t try to scratch products by hand, but the technique was improved more than once, leaving only the best to date.

Mechanical engraving is the simplest and most ancient way of creating personalized gifts. For this technology, we use a special engraving machine with a thin cutter, which removes part of the top layer from the surface of the product. The main difference between our device is that it has diamond coating on the cutter. The pressure of its diamond needle produces microscopic strokes, thanks to which the engraving on gifts acquires a spectacular iridescent shine. Other advantages include the highest degree of accuracy when drawing lines, the volume and relief of the text or design, the strength and durability of the result (personalized gifts do not fade or get erased). It is generally accepted that mechanical engraving on gifts enlivens the gift, making it more soulful and expressive. Allegedly, during the labor-intensive production process, the product absorbs a piece of the engraver’s warmth. We don’t know whether this is actually true, but our engraver sincerely believes in it, so a personalized gift is a gift with a soul.

Another way to create a personalized gift in our arsenal is leather embossing. Personalized leather diaries, wallets, flasks and thermoses, document covers and straps - they all attract attention both to themselves and to their owner. Leather is a pliable material, so it allows you to create different textures and make the pattern three-dimensional. If you wish, you can add colors: gold and silver inscriptions look impressive on a plain leather surface. And after finishing - voila! - and a unique personalized gift is ready; the skin will retain the applied pattern for many centuries. Using various stamps, our craftsmen have learned to create inscriptions, logos and even entire plot images.

The optimal solution for transferring images to metal and glass is the use of a laser. We will not describe the production process itself in detail, but will immediately move on to its undeniable advantages. Firstly, it is the durability of engraving on gifts and resistance to mechanical damage. This is ensured due to the fact that the applied image is part of the product itself, and not a layer of applied paint or spraying. This means that the owner of the personalized gift will enjoy the engraving throughout the entire life of the product. Secondly, unlike mechanical application, laser application of a name or logo exactly repeats the sketch, allows you to transfer all the details of the original image, essentially achieving the effect of a photograph. Thirdly, laser engraving on personalized gifts allows you to “play” with color, i.e. the effect of obtaining a color image is created. And finally, fourthly, the possibility of applying texts or drawings is not limited by the shape of the workpiece; this allows you to engrave round, oval, square, in a word - objects of any configuration.

Sublimation (thermal) printing is a relatively new direction, widely used in the manufacture of pens, mugs, thermal glasses, phone cases, wallets, power banks, as well as textile souvenirs. The images are printed on a special 3D printer on high-density paper and “baked” under the influence of temperature, at which point the paint transfers from the paper to the top layer of the product. Thanks to thermal printing, the resulting image is bright and full-color.

When choosing an original personalized gift, it is important to package it beautifully. But sometimes choosing packaging can be more difficult than the gift itself. Therefore, we offer our clients design gift wrapping absolutely free! It is made from branded cardboard for each category of personalized gifts. This cardboard has an original texture and color, the top layer is coated, so it is much nicer than usual. Receiving a personalized gift in such packaging will be doubly pleasant.
