Try These 5 Engraving Styles & Create a Personalised Gift They Won't Forget

by Bec Bligh | April 2, 2025

When it comes to finding the perfect individual gift, a personal touch can turn a good gift into a great one. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or just want to make your vessel unique, here are five thoughtful engraving styles that will make your present unforgettable.

1. Heartfelt and Sentimental

For those who love gifts that come straight from the heart, engraving a sentimental message is a perfect choice. A short but powerful phrase can evoke emotions. Some ideas include:

  • She believed she could, so she did
  • The Best Sister, Mum and Aunty in the World
  • Love you to the moon and back

This style works beautifully for anniversaries, Mother’s Day, or as a thoughtful gesture to remind someone how much they mean to you.

2. Funny and Playful

A little humor goes a long way! Engraving a witty or light-hearted message (with help from a few emojis) can make someone smile every time they reach for their bottle.

Some fun ideas include:

  • Alexander, Professional Procrastinator.
  • You are not a cactus! Drink some water.
  • For water… because I can't survive on coffee alone
  • The best therapist has fur and four legs 😺
  • Adulting (noun): the practice of drinking water
  • All you need is love … and a dog 🦴

Perfect for birthdays, best friends, or anyone who appreciates a good laugh, this style makes hydration more enjoyable.

3. Names and Initials

A simple yet sophisticated engraving option is personalizing with names or initials. This timeless practical choice adds an elegant touch and is ideal for just about anyone. If you have a forgetful family member in your life, you could also engrave contact details so the vessel can be easily returned if lost!

This type of engraving makes the bottle feel uniquely theirs, which also makes it ideal for corporate gifting.

4. Inspirational and Motivational

Sometimes, all we need is a little push to get through the day. Engraving an inspiring quote or personal mantra can provide motivation with every sip.

Consider messages like:

  • Believe in yourself, you are enough.
  • Keep your mind open & your water bottle full
  • Dance like nobody’s watching
  • Stay calm and keep hydrated 💦

This type of engraving is a great choice for students, fitness enthusiasts, or professionals who appreciate a daily dose of encouragement.

5. Special Dates and Coordinates

Marking a special moment in time or a meaningful place with laser engraving makes for a truly unique gift.

  • Wedding dates - Mr & Mrs Smith since June 21, 2024
  • Birthdays - William, Est. 1992
  • Memorable location coordinates - Loving you since we met 40.7128° N, 74.0060° W

These engravings serve as beautiful reminders of life’s most cherished milestones and are perfect for birthdays, anniversaries, and travel lovers.
