Presents With Personality

Picking the perfect pressie for someone you care about is always a bit of a challenge, but if you shop smartly online you can find some unique bespoke gifts being offered up at fantastic prices.

Gift Idea To Make A Really Special Impression

If you’re stuck for ideas on what to give someone, nothing says you’re special like a personalised pressie, and there are an absolute array of wonderful customisable gifts available for those who know where to look.

A present that allows you to customize it with your recipients name is a lasting and memorable keepsake, and one that, providing you choose wisely, will last them for a lifetime. When shopping for a personalised gift, always go for quality, but this doesn’t have to mean you have to spend the earth, as there are some astounding bargains out there to be had.

If you want to make a really special impression then bespoke is the only way to go, but don’t just rush in and buy a low quality item from the first site you see offering personalisation services, even if it’s tempting because you’re on a tight budget.

If you’re watching the pennies what you should be looking for is real quality that’s offered at a bargain price, such as this sleek classic hip flask with a cool mirror finish, that comes with free engraving – for just £15!

Gift For Dad & Boyfriend

This slick silver coloured bargain beauty would make the ideal gift for a dad or boyfriend who appreciates a modern, minimalistic style, and would also make the perfect present for a special friend or colleague, or even your boss.

The sleek modernistic styling makes it the ideal personalised engraved hip flask for Christmas, but it would also make a great birthday or anniversary gift for someone special too.

If your budget can run to just a little more, and you want to give a super luxurious gift that doesn’t cost you an arm and a leg, then how about thisbrown Spanish leather covered stainless steel hip flask presentation set?

This quality flask comes in a gorgeous box set, complete with a set of cups and leather covered storage holder. At just £49.00, including bonus engraving, this has to be one of the lowest prices available on the internet for a flask set of this quality.

A gift like this would make the perfect present for a husband or father who loves timeless classic styling, and if you give this to someone, you’re sure to leave a lasting impression on whoever is the lucky recipient.

We all like to feel a bit special from time to time, and giving someone an item like a personalised engraved hip flask shows them you’ve put a lot of thought behind your gift, which at the end of the day counts for much more than what you actually spend.

Make An Impression At Wallet Friendly Prices

Sometimes though, it can seem ultra-difficult to pick out that perfect present for that picky someone you want to impress. If you are struggling to pick out a present for someone who has slightly alternative tastes, then why not give them this unusual round style hip flask that comes in its own sleek black presentation box, for the wallet friendly price of £27?

The sleek stainless steel design is just the right side of different, and the flask comes with free personalised engraving too, so you can customize your gift and make it truly unique. Round flasks like this make a great, slightly quirky alternative to the more traditionally styled hip flasks, and would make a superb stocking filler or main present for the hipster in your life.

A customisable item like one of these personalised engraved hip flasks will ensure your gift is tailored perfectly for the person it’s intended for, making it a truly personal present, which is exactly what every good gift should be.

Here are some creative gifts engraving suggestions for you.

As speicalists in personalising your silver and occasional gifts we would like to share our gift engraving experience with our clients and readers with a view to assisting you to be creative and thoughtful with the engraving and personalisation of your chosen silver gift, hip flask and tankard engravings.

The team here at  Gifts of Distinction, Flaskstore, Tankardstore and TheOnlineGiftsCompany are privvy to many emotional, funny, inspiring and down right insulting engravings. These engravings have, over the years, given my associates  Alice, Kate, Pippa and myself cause to laugh along out loud or wipe a tear from our eye and in some cases both. I, David-Louis, like to think of the engravings we are asked to do as a window to the world and lives of our clients, a simple snap shot giving us an insight into our customers life events and we would like to share these snap shots with you so you can be creative and thoughtful with your gift engravings.

We have been compiling this list of engraving suggestions for a long time now and it has dawned on me that I will never have it actually finished so here we are as the 1st Duke of Wellington once said- “Publish and be dammed”

We intend to build on this engraving resource so please do visit us again for further creative engraving ideas.

Here are some of the best engravings I have come across in recent years, I will add links to the items we have engraved it on as we go.

Book marks and romance, yes you can mix both and how about this beautiful engraving I recently put on our lovely silver bookmark:

Great news we have just made a lovely gift for established star and funny man from Mock the Week, Chris Addison, he is filming a new sit com for Sky Living called “Trying Again.”

We hope every one involved breaks a leg. We also know this wrap party was on Friday 22nd Nov. 2013 so we promised not to publish this post until after the event.

What do McFLy member, Dougie Poynter, One Directions Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson, Liam Payne, and super model Cara Delavingne have in common?

Besides all being pals they were all present at the launch of McFly’s Dougie Poynters new fashion label ‘Saint Kidd’ sporting gifts and hip flasks made by theonlinegiftscompany.com and flaskstore.com

We hope they all has a ball at the launch and please do let us know if you see them sporting a chic and cool hip flask any time.

In recent days we have been working on a few goodies for one or two of the crew for a new movie by Marvel Comics, the name of the movie seems to be under wraps but its working title is ‘Full Tilt’ … we don’t expect to see them on the big screen this time though… it’s animated.

Thanks to the team there for the order though.

We are now supplying some props for Him & Her on BBC 3, at this stage we are unable to say what the goods are as the story line involves the props:

TheOnlineGiftsCompany supply TV and Film

Plus we are also working on a new production at Pinewood studios – which I can reveal the name of but that is it for now:

POSH – Laura Wades critically acclaimed play

So we are coming to the end of another busy week and I am continuing on with our current theme of lovely engravings we work on.

My favourite engraving of this week was for a fantastic silver gift item on our Gifts of Distinction web site, the gentleman in question was retiring from what was a long career in a local business and we engraved the most excellent retirement greeting I have come across yet:

Retired !

Goodbye tension, Hello pension !

Yet again, we smiled and according to our facebook page, danced a lot this week.

Have a lovely weekend, David.
