Is gifting someone a pen a good idea? What does it mean when someone gives you a pen as a gift?
In an era where technology and computers are vastly dominating every industry, books and pens seem to be in danger of extinction. Or maybe they aren’t. Even with new sophisticated gadgets being unveiled daily, pens still hold special places in people’s hearts. Most people and organizations still require the use of pens in their daily operations. For instance, you can’t use your computer to sign a banker’s check, can you?
What should you engrave on your Pen?
Back to our previous question- is gifting someone a pen a good idea? Yes, yes, and yes! A pen makes a unique gift. It’s practical, cool, useful, and fancy. There are even engraved tactical pens that are used as defense mechanisms. Nothing says, ‘learn something new and stay safe’ more. With this, we give the thumbs-up to gifting out a pen.
Similar to other gifts, you have to engrave the pen to make it special. Engraving your pen disputes it as just another gift. A pen can write a thousand words, and the engraving in your pen can hold a thousand meanings.
What to engrave on your pen is entirely dependent on the occasion. You need to convey different messages on different occasions. With this, we give you some of the best, most unique, and creative pen engraving ideas for your loved ones.
What to engrave on customized pens
- Important dates or date ranges, or the year of accomplishment
- Congratulations messages
- Name, last name or full name
- Funny messages
- Logos, company names, website for corporate
Gifts to loved ones
Receiving a gift from a loved one is priceless. It is usually not about how big the gift is, but rather the person gifting it. Giving a pen to your geek boyfriend, office mom, or student son can be very thoughtful. Some occupations require the use of pens throughout.
If you aren’t very good at expressing feelings, you can do so with a pen. (Check out our best-selling personalized pens for a great find.)
Here are some unique messages to write:
We’re waiting for that graduation! – This will remind him/her to always work hard
You’re my inspiration- You admire your mom or dad for the work they do and all the hard work they put in. They will appreciate it more than you think.
Live-love-laugh– Short but deep. Always live each day to the fullest and enjoy every moment of it.
World’s best mother– your mom will always remember this every time she is jotting something down.
Happy birthday Peter! – Whether your boyfriend, brother, dad, or anyone, wishing them a happy birthday on their pen is unmatched.
Dad’s Pen. Return to the Study Room- Yes, if you want to keep your kids off your work station, no method could be better. Also, if your pen will get lost, you can always expect someone to bring it back.
Graduation
Graduates are intellectual giants. Graduation is normally a transition between the end of studying and entry into the job market. It is not only nice but also warm to congratulate graduates and wish them success in their future endeavors with a custom stylus pen. The message in your engraved pen should be something similar to these:
You made it! – Yes, you did. Graduation is important to everyone who experiences it. It is one step towards success.
Welcome to the job market – Subtly sarcastic! If you thought you had a rough time studying, then welcome to the next phase- job hunting.
Light at the end of the tunnel – This is a motivation that they are almost achieving their dreams.
Feeling like Albert Einstein! – We bet you do!
Weddings
Everyone loves weddings. When it comes to signing the marriage certificate, a special pen should be used. The engraved pen is normally a sign of congratulation to the newly wedded couple and what better way to present this new memento than with an engraved pen set? What should you write?
Love you to the moon and back – This is simply adorable.
When is the baby shower? – Are we thinking of that yet? Well, it’s never too early.
Newlyweds!
Mr. and Mrs. Smith
Congratulations Peter and Mary!
You could also engrave groomsmen and usher along with names on the pens to hand out.
Job contracts
Landing your first job, starting a new career, or a promotion calls for celebration and an engraved executive pen too. You need a special pen to commemorate the event. Not once or twice have we seen pens neatly arranged when presidents are about to sign their contracts and accept the presidency job. The same is also true for other people.
Here are some ideas that you could use.
Congratulations! – Simple and straight to the point. Congratulating someone for their new job is always a good gesture.
You’re Hired! – No news could be better.
Cheers to a New Job!
Institutions, Organizations, and Titles
The same way parking lots and office doors in institutions have labels, the same can also apply to your pen. Organizations can also engrave their pens and give out to staff as a branding mechanism. Check out some of these:
Oxford University– Using a pen with such an engravement will turn any stalker into an admirer.
The Boss– What a nice way to intimidate any employee who enters your office. They should know whom they are dealing with.
www.lazerDesigns.com – And your website also! Engraving the name of your website is a great way of telling people to visit and check out your content.
For fun!
You don’t always need a special occasion to engrave your pen. Sometimes “Just Because” is all the reason you need! You can get a personalized ball-point pen to convey what you’re feeling, pass a message, or even as motivation to yourself. Here are some great ideas to use:
John’s keep your hands off! This should serve as a warning to anyone with intentions to use the pen without your consent.
I love Chandler Bing! – Definitely a huge fan of the sitcom Friends.
Silence! An artist at work
The greatest pen on earth, keep your distance!
A man with a plan
