Engraved Wine Bottles Make Unique Real Estate Closing Gifts

July 22, 2016 By Desiree Colonna

Just yesterday, a Realtor reached out to me on LinkedIn and told me how she thought our engraved wine bottles would make unique real estate closing gifts for her clients.

We talked about what she wanted on the bottle including a special message that would mean a lot to the seller. I immediately went to my studio and designed the engraved wine bottle in the images below.

The Realtor came by the studio and picked up the hand engraved wine bottle today and was completely thrilled. She knew this wine bottle would be the perfect closing gift for her client. It was a closing gift that really made an impression. I’m sure her client will use her again for future real estate transactions. I like to think this gift will help her make that decision.

To order your own engraved wine bottles for your clients, contact us here or call 833 465 9311. We can put anything on your wine bottle including your company logo. Engraved wine bottles are a gift people won’t want to open!

If you are a real estate professional, you might want to have a few different gifts to offer your clients, especially if you don’t know if they enjoy wine or drink. Check out our corporate gift page for more ideas.

Creating Hand Engraved Wedding Glasses

July 20, 2016 By Desiree Colonna

My brother is getting married this weekend in Montana so I designed a couple of hand engraved wedding glasses for him and his bride. They can use these wedding glasses both during the ceremony and for years to come as a remembrance of their special day. Their initials are M and M as you can see in the image. I added their wedding date and “Congratulations!” at the bottom of each wedding glass. I also added little hearts as a reminder of the love they share.

What’s really funny is I used a dental drill to hand engrave these wedding glasses. My brother is a dentist so the irony wasn’t lost on both of us.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t make it to the wedding and had to deliver these via FedEx. It worked out just fine. The hand engraved wedding glasses got there in one piece and they were able to use them the same day for a special toast.

I can customize and create any set of hand engraved wedding glasses for your favorite bride and groom. You can pick the glasses or we can use stock glasses. We’ll hand engrave and ship them directly to the happy couple via FedEx. Call us at 833 465 9311 or contact us here to order your hand engraved wedding glasses.

(If you live in the Georgia area, we can offer you same day service in most cases and depending on our schedule. Otherwise, please allow 7 to 10 days for delivery.)

Unique Christening Gift Ideas

July 17, 2016 By Desiree Colonna

Sometimes our clients give us unique christening gift ideas we never thought about. A hand engraved wine bottle for the baby? Well, sorta. Our client is going to present the wine bottle to the parents. Once its used, they can save the bottle as a vase or heirloom to remember the baby’s christening by. (They were even thinking of saving the bottle for the child’s 21st birthday, although it may be vinegar by then!)

Hand engraved wine bottles are also unique christening gifts for the godfather and godmother who really can enjoy them fully! Might want to consider ordering a couple for them to enjoy.

What about the parents? If you’re attending a christening, bring along a bottle for the parents as a nice reminder of a special day for their baby.

When we presented the bottle, she immediately got on Facebook and gave us a five-star review!

Here is a video of the final uniquely engraved christening gift:

Here are some still pictures of the sides of the engraved wine bottle:

The Fine Art of Engraving Personalized Wine Bottles

July 10, 2016 By Desiree Colonna

Personalized Wine Bottles Make Unforgettable Gifts

When I first saw hand engraved personalized wine bottles in real life, they stopped me in my tracks. They were unlike anything else I’d seen before and I knew they would make special gifts for our clients.

My own first engraved wine bottle was a gift sent to me from my engraving teacher. He wanted to show me what was possible with a simple dental drill. It was amazing and made quite an impression on me.

I immediately signed up to learn how to create personalized wine bottles with my own calligraphy style.

I learned how to engrave with a dental drill and use a fine gold or silver buff to finish the engraving with a sparkle unlike any other. Hand engraved wine bottles are unlike etched wine bottles because the engraving can’t ever wear off. It is a deeper cut and more personalized than any engraving machine. You can read more about our process and pricing on this page.

We now sell personalized wine bottle to brides, corporate buyers, wine suppliers and distributors in and around the Atlanta area. Every time we bring one of our engraved wine bottles into a wine distribution store, we’re met with “Oohs!” and “Aahs!” from both managers and customers alike. People just can’t get enough of them and immediately order their own engraved wine bottles for friends and family. We also engrave champagne and sparkling wine bottles!

We are creating personalized wine bottle engraving events all over Atlanta and we’ll engrave your bottle FREE at these events. Click here for our schedule. Call us at 833 465 9311 or contact us here to get your order in before the holidays!

Learning Personalized Hand Engraving

July 5, 2016 By Desiree Colonna

Learning Personalized Hand Engraving

A couple weeks ago Joe and I learned the art of personalized hand engraving glass and metal items of all kinds. Personalized hand engraving makes both wedding and corporate gifts even more unique. Adding calligraphy to these items adds a very personal touch you can’t get with an engraving or etching machine.

We are now regularly hired for wine events, fragrance counter events and by popular engraving and jewelry shops because it’s hard to find engravers who can engrave oddly shaped items such as:

wine bottles
beer glasses and growlers
power tools
fragrance bottles
motorcycle parts
guns
knives
swords
mirrors
compacts
jewelry boxes
crystal bowls and glassware
golf clubs
urns
china and porcelain
marble
slate

Joe and I are very proud to be the first at Inkwell Designers to learn personalized glass and metal engraving. We’re excited to offer this unique service to our customers. We even plan on expanding and having two to three more engravers on our team by the end of the year.

Since taking the class, nothing is safe in the house. Take a look at some of my examples here. (I’ve even gave my mom a hand engraved wine bottle for her 81st birthday! She loved it.)

Wine bottle and fragrance bottle engraving pricing can be found on this page but please call 833 465 9311 for custom glass and metal gift items. We’d love to help make your next wedding or corporate gift a big hit!

Wedding Coloring Books, The Next New Trend?

June 21, 2016 By Desiree Colonna

Are wedding coloring books the next new trend…for ADULTS?

How about a wedding coloring book invitation customized just for your wedding with your favorite quotes and/or song lyrics? A wedding monogram or one-page design people can color at their tables?

At Inkwell Designers, anything is possible!

We’ve just released our very own custom wedding coloring book line headed up by coloring book designer Vanessa Lowry. We are featuring 53 wedding themed designs that can be customized and created just for your wedding day.

Imagine guests sitting at their tables engrossed in coloring while waiting for dinner or for dancing to start. We’re talking about the adults here, not the kids.

Coloring books for adults are a big trend. The Washington Post states, “Nielsen Bookscan estimates that some 12 million were sold in 2015, a dramatic jump from the 1 million sold the previous year.” 5 of the top 15 books on Amazon.com are coloring books. There are even coloring groups popping up all over the globe to color and socialize for hours.

What makes this activity so calming and charming at the same time?

As psychologist Scott Barry Kaufman, co-author of the new book Wired to Create, phrased it, “It can provide people with a way to flex their creativity.”

Your wedding coloring book, monogram, or invitation can really make your wedding stand out. Guests not only get a fun activity to do, but something unique to take home and treasure forever.

Go on over to this page for pricing and details. Then call us to start creating your own special wedding coloring book.
