Ideas for Engraved Wallets

We do a lot of personalization on our goods and we often have folks reaching out to us. They're looking for suggestions on what to engrave.

A lot of personalized goods go out our door and I've compiled a list of the various things you might want to consider engraving on your item (whether it's a wallet or not).

Personalized items show that you’ve thought about your loved one. It’s a keepsake they will keep around and it’s something that will remind them of you.

What you get engraved is up to you, your recipients’ style, and the relationship you share.

Stumped on what to engrave? Let's dive right.

This is the tried and true way to engrave your wallet and keep it personal. Add your son’s initials to his first leather wallet for example.

The initials on the wallet don’t have to be your own. Think of giving the wallet to your Dad with the initials of his grandchildren on it. Or give your wife a card holder with your initials on it.

These are all special touches that show you have someone on mind and you took the extra time to make their gift unique.

Dates hold special significance which may be known only to you and the person receiving the gift.

For a child, a birthday may be the perfect date to place on their wallet, showing how special it was when they came into the world.

For a spouse, it may be more appropriate to engrave your wedding day, the day you met, or the day you first brought a child into the world.

Maybe you might have a special place in mind?

• Where you first met your significant other
• Where you had your first date
• Your favorite vacation destination

A lot of our customers will take their favorite location or address, convert it into latitude and longitude coordinates and we'll engrave that for them.

What do you think looks better?

41° 56' 12.804'' N 87° 43' 35.868''

or

The Pizza Hut on 3045 N Pulaski Rd in Chicago.

If you're wondering how you can get latitude and longitude coordinates, it's pretty easy. Just use a website like latlong.net. Or use the iPhone app called What3Words which is even more accurate (and memorable!)

A lot of people (myself included) just aren't cut out for this kind of stuff. But sentimental, romantic engravings can be cherished by our better halves. If you're giving a wallet as a gift to your loved one, chances are you want it to be unique.

I'm terrible at this kind of stuff, so I had a little help from our customers. Use the list below if you need some inspiration (feel free to use them!)
