Where can i make a personalized gift? (not online)?

Hey everybody!

I want to make a personalized gift for my friend (like a pen with his initials on it or a key chain with his name), but i don’t have time to order it online and wait for it to be shipped to me. It’s like a last minute gift.

Where can i find a person who can Engrave words on any object i give him? Do they even exist? Maybe at the mall or some special shop US wide?

Please, need your help, i’ve looked everywhere online :(

Thank you and happy Gobble-Gobble day!

Check your yellow pages to see what’s offered in your area. In my hometown we have an engraving shop, but customized work like that always requires more than a day or two. Unless you’re willing to shell out a lot more to have it rushed, but they still won’t do it that quickly if they have a crazy workload (and they probably do at this time of year). My town also has a kiln; you walk in, buy a porcelain trinket, they provide the paint, you paint it, they glaze and fire it. It’s easy, fun, customized, and more personal because you have done it with your own hands!
