This already purchased paddle had a coat of paint on it which gave the engraving a different look from the usual laser engraving straight onto wood. May sports equipment from Ping-Pong Paddles to baseball bats and balls can be engraved.  These are perfect ways to commemorate many years of practise and achievement in a sport and make a great thoughtful gift.

A great personalised gift for that person that has everything or you just don’t know what to get them.  It’s particle but also memorable because it can be personalized with something meaningful to the recipient.  All cork hot plates are laser engraved, please contact us for further details.

Living in wine country, we are so lucky, it’s so beautiful being surrounded by vineyards here in the Okanagan. This local industry provides us with my aspects to engrave on, from their company name tags, desk plates, wine glasses, decanters, cork screw openers, sampler boards, and signage.  We are very fortunate to have such great customers. 

These engraved cutting boards were awards for some of the winners of the Broken Goat Trail Race Series. These are great practical awards or gift ideas. I posted a cutting board with a recipe that had been passed down by a family member, that was engraved on it, this was one of my most favorite engraved gifts I have ever seen.  Something truly from the heart. Engraving a daily ordinary object makes it into something memorable, something worth doing.
