FAQs
What should I engrave on a keychain?
Names and initials are the everyday classics; dates work beautifully on milestone keychains like the new-home and 50-year calendar designs. For gifts, a two-or-three-word message — "Drive safe," "Love you more," an inside joke — is what turns a keychain into the one they never replace.
Are personalized keychains good party or wedding favours?
They're one of the best-value favours you can give: practical, personal, and mostly under $15. Engrave each guest's name, or a shared date for weddings and reunions — and ask us about bulk pricing for larger orders.
Do you have keychains for new homeowners?
Yes — the "New Home, New Adventures" pewter keychain and the engraved house keychain are made exactly for that moment. Engrave the address or move-in date for a closing gift clients keep forever. See more housewarming gifts to pair with them.
Can I put a photo on a keychain?
Absolutely. Choose a custom photo keychain in your preferred shape or the locket-style photo holder, upload your picture on the product page, and we'll print it in full colour — a favourite for parents, grandparents, and pet lovers.
How durable are engraved keychains?
Built for pockets and daily use. The engraving is cut into the metal or wood itself, so it won't rub off — an occasional wipe with a soft cloth keeps the finish looking new for years.
