Finding the perfect gift for a child can be a challenge. You want something meaningful yet fun, personal yet practical. At Etch 'n' Shine, we believe that the best gifts do more than bring a smile — they tell a story, mark a memory and last for years to come. That’s where personalised laser engraved gifts come in.
Unlike generic toys or throwaway trinkets, a personalised gift has emotional weight. It says, “This was made just for you.” For birthdays, baby showers or just because, personalised laser engraving adds depth and detail to every present. And when it’s for a child, it becomes part of their story — a treasured item they may carry from childhood to adulthood.
As a small, family-run business based in the UK, Etch 'n' Shine specialises in high-quality, custom-engraved gifts. Every item is carefully crafted using precise laser technology and finished by hand with genuine care. From names and dates to one-of-a-kind designs, we give you full control over the details so your gift is truly personal.
Baby Milestone Photo Board: Capture the First Year Beautifully
Your baby’s first year flies by in a blur of smiles, first steps and unforgettable moments. Our Personalised Baby Milestone Photo Board is designed to help you preserve that special time with warmth and style.
Laser-engraved on high-quality birch wood, this board features space for twelve monthly photos and a 3D custom name cutout in the colour of your choice. It’s a beautiful way to display your child’s growth, whether in the nursery, living room or as a centrepiece at a first birthday celebration.
This milestone board is more than decoration. It becomes a time capsule, capturing a year of change in one elegant, lasting piece. And because it’s engraved, not printed, the design won’t fade or peel. It remains a tactile keepsake that your family can cherish for generations.
Engraved Aluminium Gift Card: A Modern Twist on a Classic Message
Gift cards are often seen as impersonal, but our Personalised Engraved Gift Card flips that idea on its head. Made from sleek, thin anodised aluminium, this keepsake takes the gift card concept and makes it permanent.
It’s ideal for occasions where you want to express a heartfelt message in a lasting way. For children, it can be a meaningful gift from a parent, godparent or grandparent — a message they can return to over the years. Whether it’s encouragement for the future, a birthday wish or a note of love, this engraved card becomes something to hold onto and treasure.
Lightweight but sturdy, this card slips easily into a memory box, desk drawer or keepsake album. It’s a simple piece, but the impact is anything but.
Bamboo Pen and Holder Set: Thoughtful, Useful and Eco-Friendly
Looking for a gift that combines style, function and sustainability? Our Personalised Bamboo Pen and Holder Set is a versatile option that’s great for kids starting school, exploring creativity or setting up a homework space.
Made from eco-conscious bamboo, this engraved gift is not only practical but personal. The smooth, natural finish is the perfect canvas for a name, message or quote, turning an everyday item into something meaningful. Whether used for writing, drawing or displaying on a child’s desk, it becomes part of their daily life.
It’s a thoughtful way to support creativity and learning, especially for children who appreciate items that feel grown-up and special. And because bamboo is durable, this set is built to last — through exams, projects and all the big ideas that come along the way.
Why Personalised Gifts Matter More for Children
Children form deep emotional connections with the things they’re given — especially when those things carry meaning. A personalised gift does more than sit on a shelf. It becomes a marker of time, of love and of personal identity.
Our laser engraving process ensures every detail is sharp, permanent and elegant. We don’t rush through the job. We take time to understand your vision, from the design to the sentiment behind it. Whether you're choosing a gift for a newborn or a growing child, we help you create something that reflects your care and attention.
And unlike mass-produced gifts, our pieces are made with integrity. As a proudly UK-based family business, we put quality first. We don’t outsource, and we never compromise on finish. When you order from Etch 'n' Shine, you’re not just getting a product — you’re getting personal service from start to finish.
