Christmas gifts for your boyfriend: his initials on it, your words on the box

Our titanium keychain takes three letters on its face. The field on the product page stops at the fourth. That leaves no room for his full name or for anything you want to say to him. Choose Keychain + Box Engraving and we also engrave the lid of the aluminum box it ships in, with a name, initials or a short message, while the keychain keeps his initials.

The card wallet, the flip-top lighter and the pen split the work the same way: his letters on the piece he carries, your words on the lid he opens on Christmas morning.

The keychain

The titanium keychain is machined from one solid billet of TC4 titanium and measures 2.05 by 1.46 inches. It comes rainbow anodized or in a stone finish, and on either one the letters come out black. A paracord lanyard and a titanium bead are in the box with it. The box is engraved only together with the keychain.

The card wallet

Whatever else you choose on the slim card wallet, we engrave its money clip, which makes the clip the place for his initials. On the black and green wallets the clip is black and the engraving shows white. Clip + Box adds the lid of the black gift box. Our green sample has A/D on the clip and a short line running up the edge of the lid. If you would rather he carried the line with him, Clip + Back + Box puts something on the back plate too.

At 9 mm thick, the wallet carries six smooth cards or five embossed ones. A button pushes them up in a fan, and the clip comes off with two screws on the days he carries no cash. It also comes in silver and blue.

The flip-top lighter

The matte black flip-top has three places to engrave: front, back and the lid of its tin. Every engraved option starts with the front, and the lid comes with Front + Box or Front + Back + Box. Against the matte black, the letters come out light. Our sample carries R/S above ROBERTO SIROS and a year on the front, a line on the back, and an anniversary line on the lid.

It is stainless steel, 2.24 by 1.46 inches, with a windproof lid. It ships empty, so put a can of standard lighter fluid next to it under the tree.

Before you type the line

The titanium pen takes his name on the cap or the body, and its box is engraved only together with one of them. Our Zippos are not in this guide because they ship in Zippo's own box, which we don't engrave.

A long line still has to fit the lid. If you want to see how yours sits before we engrave, ask us for a proof of your text. And if you would both like something engraved, our guide to gifts for a couple covers matched pairs.
