Written by the company

Things Engraved originally “opened shop” in 1982, with less than a dozen locations across Canada. Over the years, the company expanded into more than 100 retail locations stretching Coast-to-Coast. With changing times came changing strategies, and in January 2020 the company was purchased by online retailer Bloomex Inc., who introduced and implemented a successful online sales model which allowed both existing and new customers the opportunity to order the same high-quality, personalized gifts they have come to know and trust from the comfort of their homes – no need to go to a busy mall. They also reinvented their retail locations into trendy boutique style, retail storefronts offering one-stop mixed-market gift shopping with custom personalization done on the premises. For decades, Things Engraved has been the premier destination for Canadians seeking personalized gifts to mark that special occasion with a custom engraved or embroidered gift that is sure to be treasured. We have also recently started offering sublimation products – a process which allows you to personalize virtually anything! We now offer UV Printing, DTG, DTF and so much more! Under our new leadership, we will continue to offer the best personalized gifts that Canadians want at competitive prices.

I reached out through live chat and was able to get somebody pretty much right away and I had follow up through email very quickly and was able to give my specifications for the engraving. They were quite prompt at getting back to me within 24 hours for each edit. I had the product within 48 hours of my approval and it looks fantastic. So happy with the results! and I’m sure this gift will be memorable!

Best online shopping experience

I found the staff to be extremely helpful and patient as I asked many questions regarding my engraved pewter trains. They are absolutely perfect and will be cherished by my grandsons. So pleased with how quickly they were delivered as well. I would highly recommend Things Engraved and will be a repeat customer. Thank you.

Good company to deal with

Your prices very good and engraving is such a nice thing to add to gifts and at no additional cost.
It was great to see the mock ups and be able to make changes if needed. Customer service was great and thorough.
This is my second purchase and plan to use them again and highly recommend them.

I've ordered 3 glasses so far as parting gifts when colleagues retire or move on to other positions. The company is always communicative, quick, and the products always look great and as anticipated. Highly recommend.

Absolutely outstanding experience!

Absolutely outstanding experience!

We ordered custom glasses from Things Engraved, and we couldn’t be happier with how they turned out. They were absolutely perfect—beautifully made and exactly what we had hoped for. Even better, our order arrived much faster than anticipated, which was such a wonderful surprise.

What really stood out, though, was the exceptional customer service. The team was incredibly responsive, helpful, and attentive throughout the entire process. It’s not often that you find a company that delivers such a high-quality products and such outstanding customer service.

We are absolutely thrilled with our branded glasses and would wholeheartedly recommend Things Engraved to anyone looking for a personalized gift or something truly special. Thank you for making our experience so wonderful!

We were able to get exactly what we wanted. Loved the mockups so that we could have a good look at what we were ordering. The glass was well packed and arrived safe and sound in a timely manner. Thank you so much.

Customized rose-wood & leather key chains for my team

I purchased 11 rose-wood & leather keychains, with my teammates names, and our team name on the other side. Customization and mock-up draft was created and communicated with me quickly (as well as revisions) by email. I chose express delivery and got my order quickly, and I am very happy with the final product.

I need a lost plaque replaced in a very short period of time while visiting Ottawa. The company and staff I dealt with were wonderful, everything was easy on line and extremely clear. I asked for their opinion on spacing etc., they gave me a very good solution and within two days I had the replacement plaque, more beautiful than the original delivered to my hotel by 24hr Purolator courier. The plaque was perfect and very reasonable, especially given the short time line.
