Honoring Veterans - Gifts for the American Soldier

Whether they came home from a tour yesterday, or never came home, the United States veteran deserves recognition for the sacrifices they made - leaving their home and family without the guarantee to ever return.  While some never did return, and we must accept that sense of loss, it's most important to honor those we still have with us.  Give this honor to your veteran soldier with an engraved keepsake commemorating their tour of duty, their rank, and the years they served.  The ways to express thanks are infinite, and the heirloom quality of these military ornaments will last for generations. 

Some of the expressions you can have engraved on these U.S. veteran ornaments range from rally calls to the cause to the concise and formal name, rank, and years of service.  Whatever you choose to have engraved on these sturdy veteran ornaments, it will last forever.  Polished with two coats of lacquer on a double-plated brass ornament, these engraved ornaments can withstand the punishment of weather and more, much like the best veteran has already done.  With accents of red, white, and blue, the U.S. flag is prominent on this ornament so Old Glory gets the recognition it deserves.  A bald eagle watches earnestly on top in defense of liberty - the only reason the United States of America was founded on the world's most unique Constitution.

Each veterans ornament comes packaged in a bright white, cotton filled gift box for years of display and safe storage.  After purchasing the veteran ornament, brass display stands are also available for purchase (An invitation will be sent after your initial purchase of the engraved veteran ornament so you can have a way to properly display your ornament year-round).

Express your thanks, your respect, and give honor to a vet today.  Send them a keepsake reminder of the duty they met for the greater good of the nation.   

Celebrating Our Canine & Feline Companions

Whatever situation your dog or cat found itself in when you became its new caretaker, you can probably remember the situation well; A trip to the humane society, a beckoning at the door on a cold night, a gift from a friend.  The roads our 4-legged companions take to enter our lives are quite diverse, and sometimes downright dangerous.

Celebrating their walk into our lives commemorates the joy of a new friendship that is based on trust, honesty, and simplicity.  The beauty of these uncomplicated relationships can teach us a few values to enrich our lives.

What's to celebrate specifically about the dogs and cats we share a home with?  Perhaps we can remember the day they were given to us with an engraved ornament personalized with their name & that special day.  What about the day they were born, especially if we got to watch their birth?  Could we commemorate the day we received a wriggling package of delight at Christmas or a birthday?

The Engraved Dog Ornament

Look at the droopy little eyes, the slightly cocked head, and the sturdy little paws patiently still as he looks at you.  Have you been out a little longer than he expected?  Have you taken time to play ball outside with him?  Puppies are lovely little creatures with lots of trust and needs.  Whether you've adopted him, given him as a gift to a best friend, or are celebrating his 10th birthday, honoring "man's best friend" can be done very well with a personalized dog ornament engraved with our canine companion's name and the date he or she entered your life.

Sending a personalized dog ornament as a gift to a friend?  We've got you covered.  Simply enter your friend's address for shipping on your order, and we'll send it directly to them.  There won't be any receipt in the box, as we will email that directly to you, so they won't know how much you spent on their personalized dog ornament gift.

The Engraved Cat Ornament 

The feline companion has a personality much different than our canine friends; Perhaps a bit more aloof at times, but always coming back around to give us love when the day is over.  Celebrate the quirky habits, agility, and beauty of cats with their own engraved ornament personalized with their name.  Add a date to remember the day they entered our lives.  We may have adopted our furry friend as a "stray" who stopped by for a snack at our door one day, or purchased our friend from a high-brow upbringing.  Whether they're more accustomed to back alleys or pet spas, celebrate their entrance into your life with a personalized cat ornament designed exclusively for the feline friends in our lives.

"Send Me an Angel"

     Those beautiful lyrics (performed by the band Real Life in 1983) help us reflect on who the angels are in our lives, and those angels who have already passed from this earth. 

"The wise man said just find your place
In the eye of the storm
Seek the roses along the way
Just beware of the thorns.
...
Here I am
Will you send me an angel
Here I am
In the land of the morning star
Here I am
Will you send me an angel
Here I am
In the land of the morning star."

    If you've been with a close friend or family member when they passed from this earth, you can relate to the feeling of loss when you first realize they're gone, but then a sense of comfort after they have passed provided by all the sweet memories.  It's a moment when all of their life flashes back to us, and we acknowledge how much we love them even more.  We then memorialize them in a number of small things - the smell of their clothing, the pictures of them smiling - the milestone events we shared...

    Sending a memorial angel to someone who recently lost someone one of their angels is more than a memorial gift - it's a beautiful reminder of that special someone who left footprints in their heart.  It's a token of their love expressed through your care to send them an angel memorial ornament.  The angel can simply have the loved one's name engraved on it with the dates of their walk on earth, or can have their name with a favorite expression engraved underneath.  It's your choice, and however it is sent, it will make an impact on anyone who has fond memories of an angel in their life who has passed on.

     Best of all, the memorial angel gift you send them comes in a soft, fluffy cotton filled box.  When they receive the gift in the mail, they will feel the comfort from their beautiful memories of the angel they once enjoyed life with.  Send them an angel...right now.

Celebrating Weddings with Personalized Ornaments

     So your best friend is getting married!  Or even better, you're getting married!  It's a time to celebrate love, commitment, and all the sharing that comes along with marriage, so break out all the best ways to celebrate!
     Personalized ornaments engraved with the couple's names on them are classic gifts to be shared for a lifetime.  While everything changes in this world around us, engraved gifts speak of leaving a lasting impression that stays around.  They become mementos we look back on years away from now with fondness and a sense of time that is no longer experienced.
     Engraved gifts allow us to bring a sense of permanence in our lives, and weddings are the perfect moment to desire a sense of permanence.  The heightened feelings of romance, joy, and carefree living bring about a sense of enjoyment we never want to leave, so why not choose a wedding gift that is just as beautiful and permanent?
     Wedding ornaments can come in many designs, but most importantly, choose a high quality one that will last through the many bumps and bruises that life can bring.  Solid brass-plated ornaments with a zinc base and a protective lacquer coating will last for a lifetime.  Through weather, heat, water, moves across the country, and more, the quality of their construction will outlast the wear and tear they suffer.
     Styles of wedding ornaments could include a wedding bell, a brass star, a snowflake, a dove, or a butterfly.  Simply have the couples names engraved on an ornament and the date of their wedding for a lifetime gift that can be enjoyed with each anniversary to come.         
     Custom personalized messages can also be engraved on any ornaments instead of the wedding date.  For example, "Today I Marry My Best Friend", "Our Love is Forever", or any other verse (within 30 characters) can be fit onto a second line of engraving under the couple's names.  This option is available within the Custom Personalization ornament category, and can be done on any wedding gift ornament styles shown there.
      Start by visiting the Engraved Forever ornament store, and selecting either the Wedding category from the left menu, or choose your own Custom Personalized ornaments from links on the left.  Select your favorite ornament style from the options available, and click the "Add to Cart" button.  Then use the "Click to Personalize Your Engraving" link for the wedding ornament selected to enter the couple's names, wedding date, or a personalized message if you've elected the Custom Personalization Ornaments category.  Your friends (or your spouse to be) will love this timeless gift of classic romance.  While all things change in life around us, some things were meant to last a lifetime.  Personalized wedding ornaments help bring a sense of permanence to love and all it entails.

'Tis the Season!

...for gift giving and receiving!  Although you may have all your gifts purchased for friends and family by now (or maybe not), most of us have difficulty selecting a gift for special people in our lives.  We may find difficulty due to finicky personal tastes of the friend, or even that the recipient already owns something similar to what we hope to give to them.
   It's easy, however, to feel confident purchasing a personalized gift for someone.  Personalized gifts always feel more thoughtful to the recipient, because they show the true value of the relationship you have with your friend or family member.  They also show a level of thoughtfulness a common item found in big-box stores could never show.
    When gifting a personalized gift, timing is most important.  Something personalized with a message often holds emotional value to the recipient, which often bring tears of appreciation.  Think of your surroundings before handing the gift to the recipient so they can react naturally without feeling too vulnerable.  (A party full of extended family and friends most likely isn't the best time to share a personalized gift, as the meaning may be lost in the activity).  When presented in a private setting, your loved one's true emotions can show through, strengthening the relationship you hold with them for life.
